Lonestar depicts this hatred in the movie within various scenes. A Hispanic man named Eladio Cruz is smuggling illegal immigrants in his watermelon truck. The truck gets a flat tire and Eladio is forced to stop and try to replace the tire. While stopped, Sheriff Wade decides to borate and pries into Eladio’s affairs investigating the contents of the truck. Sheriff Wade begins to question about smuggling illegal immigrants. Eladio’s replies denying any involvement with such acts. Sheriff Wade hastily checks the truck quickly and comes up empty handed. The Sheriff is insistent on harassing Eladio and asks Eladio if he is carrying a firearm. Here is an instance where honesty is not the best policy where Eladio goes to his truck to show Wade his shotgun and when as he reaches in the truck, Wade shots him in the back of the head. This scene indeed shows how minorities were treated extremely harsh, by the institutions that were set in place to prevent such wrong doings. Hispanics, the predominant minority, are not the only ethnicity subjected to mistreatment in Texas. African Americans have to endure violence and hatred, as well. African Americans may have been free by the 20th century, but they were not always treated as if they were. People of Caucasian decent would look upon other races as beneath them who were intended to

It also addresses important issues such as ethics, philosophy of the mind, free will and determinism, and the problem of perception. Philosophers such as John Hospers, B.F. Skinner, and Jean-Paul Sartre have different views on the issue through their theories of how individuals are or are not responsible for the free will choices that they make in life. The main character in the movie was a very violent , and reckless person.

Humanity can be difficult to define. This is because it 's hard to pinpoint a specific non-physical trait that differentiates humans from machines. Anthony Burgess, author of A Clockwork Orange, believes this trait is a person’s freedom to make conscious decisions. By taking away a person’s ability to choose between doing the right thing or the wrong thing, you also take away what makes them human. A Clockwork Orange creates a world documenting the decay of a person’s will to live and the loss of their humanity when their freedom of choice is taken away.

To give a proper analysis of "The Grand Budapest Hotel", it is necessary to understand the several layers through which the story is told. The film begins with a monologue from the narrator (presumably in the present day) describing to the audience what it is to be a storyteller. He then proceeds to give an exact account of how he, a writer, came to meet and have dinner with an old gentleman named Zero Mustafa when he was staying at Grand Budapest during its "decline into shabbiness." The body of the film is then presented from Zero 's perspective during the course of an elaborate dinner, as he tells our narrator how he came to own the Grand Budapest. The storyteller seems to be an omnipotent paradigm of the film, and Wes Anderson seems to be encouraging people to tell the story of others. As stated by the narrator at the end of his opening monologue: "Of he who tells the story of many, many stories will be told." "The Grand Budapest Hotel" is the story of relationships; the relationship between Gustave and Zero, and the relationship between the Grand Budapest itself and the characters that inhabit it the relationship between storyteller and audience.
