Making an American Citizen - This was a silent/b&w film from 1912. I'm taking a course which boils down to what makes americans american and what qualities are american, and of course, we started from the beginning. It has an eastern european married couple who are moving, and the man beats his wife and forces her to do the labor. This was probably the culture of E.Europe as portrayed in the film b/c they didn't seem to mind. But after he steps off the boat it all goes down hill, and people begin to use violence against him to show how it is done in america. 7/10
