We rented Syriana (have to admit, it is hard to follow if you don't pay very close attention) and my teen son asked why the woman dressed all in black and covered herself and just said it was a stupid movie thing that a writer made up and lost interest in the movie after that.
What are some movies that are not so hard to follow that show different cultures that a young teen can at least follow to realize we exist on a mere postage stamp corner of a world?

CRASH is a great movie! Check out the link below! It is rated R though so you may need to get permission from parents!

Reading or getting to know people from a different background is the best way to learn about cultures. Most cultural references in films are too obscure for those who are unaware of them in the first place.

The movie "CRASH" is a good movie for your teenage son to watch. I watched it with my teen. It was an eye opening experience for him. It's easy to follow and has a very good story line.

fiddler on the roof talks about jewish tradition and it is great for the family. It is musical so it is wonderful. It also talks about christianity and how the jews spread. Watch it it's great.
