Interpersonal Communication Theory

Interpersonal Communication is defined as the verbal and nonverbal interaction between two (or more) interdependent people. People from different cultures tend to communicate differently because of the different values each group has. Some are raised collectivist and some are individualistic. Crossing to cultures (in a romantic relationship) can create a lasting and positive relationship.

This theory applies to the films we watched because it focuses on the ways people interact with one another.
