Compassion? Understanding? If you can name the country you're in, it might give a better vantage point. The last movie I saw was in the USSR, and they seem to have the same kind of life and problems Americans (where I'm from) had, and feel if more people did see movies from all over the world, that possible compassion for the main character amplifies to possibly make you re-think and get rid of any possible stereotypes you had, or reinforcing other beliefs.

I'm pretty ignorant of foreign films. Been watching a few from the classic era recently, notably German & Soviet. Soviet films are often notable for their jaw dropping technical innovations (the l-o-n-g tracking shot in I Am Cuba) amidst the propaganda. Also seen some WWII films from both countries. Germany made the first Hitler's bunker film (1955), as well as two Valkyrie films that same year, one directed by Pabst (haven't seen that one) |

I felt sea-sick watching "Soy Cuba".. I actually would look away sometimes, since I know some Spanish, which is probably the best way to learn language, besides going to the country itself. For me, anyway. I've never tried to learn any other way, except when it was mandatory in school decades ago.
