In this movie, Tony was a racist at first, It seems because of the old culture at that time. He was a little bit rude and candid person , but he loved his family knew how to save someone’s face. Compare to Tony, Shelley was a genius,(and I like his voice and pronunciation ). However he was discriminated by white people, he sticked his principal and whatever Tony did crazy behavior. He knew how to compromise with other. The whole movie made me feel comfortable. It was talked about the racism and gay during 1960s, but without stimulating scenes
