• Are there any differences in the roles that each person plays in regards to their social class? How is authority and power divided in the hotel where Okwe and Senay work and the city as a whole?
• Are there any similarities between “Dirty Pretty Things” and other famous films? For example the classic film “Casablanca” (Micheal Curtiz, 1942)? What similarities exist between the films and how do their ideas differ especially given the differences in time periods and world events?
• What is the film trying to show with the heart?
• What are the societal implications of being a refugee? What are the societal implications of being an illegal? How are the two similar?
• How is it so “normal” for so many people to be exploited by others in the film? How is this possible? What does it say about how people in the film view one another?
