Smoke Signal

The movie Smoke Signal is about two boys named Victor and Thomas, who are very similar in a lot of ways in which they have no idea. Victors father Joseph actually saved Thomas when he was little from a burning down house where Thomas parents actually died because they did not get out in time. Even though Joseph was a hero in that situation, he was very abusive to victors mother, was an alcoholic and left his family when victor was very young. After victor hearing that his father had passed away from a heart attack he had to go to Arizona to get his fathers ashes. He had no money and no way to get there until he thought about Thomas. So Thomas agreed and wanted to go on the road trip. Prior to this road trip these two boys did not have a strong relationship. Victor was very to himself while Thomas was very outgoing , friendly and loved to tell stories. Victor thought that Thomas was very annoying and weird. But through out the road trip and being together so much they began to understand each other and became friends. In the end victor even gives Thomas some of his fathers ashes and I think that was a huge part in the story because that was very thoughtful and brave to me what victor had done. Thomas was very thankful for victor doing that because of what victors father did for him! I really like how they became friends because I know how they is when you really are annoyed by someone and you don’t even know them. And than when you get the chance to really be around that person and get to know them your whole idea of them and relationship can change I like that!!
