Some similarities found in the culture that was represented in the movie and American culture was the way that pet stores placed the animals in a visible place, so that customers would be more likely to buy them, however, in America, the pets in pet stores do not have a limited time to buy like they did in the movie or as in animal shelters. Another similarity that was found was the parts of the immigration system that was seen, where Innocent was trying to learn so that he could become a citizen, similar to some immigrants in
