Napoleon Dynamite follow up questions

1) What did you think of Napoleon the first time you saw him?

    I thought he was a little slow and not quite developed as socially as he should be for his age.

2) Do you think the movie is a comedy? Do you think some people will say it wasn’t?

    I understand the movie to be a comedy, however there are lots of people who may see calling it a comedy to be offensive.

3) How do you think Napoleon saw himself?
    Did he think he was a dork or a nerd?
    Did he care?

    Napoleon didn't really care how other people saw him. He may be a nerd but that never really mattered to him.

4) Do you think Napoleon had any nun chuck skills?
    How about poison dart skills?
    Did he have skills as an artist?
    What were his best skills?

    Nunchuck skills - Absolutely.
    Poison dart skills - most likely.
    Artistic skills - For sure, did you see the poster for pedro?
    Best skills - Standing up for what he believes in.

5) Who do you think this movie is funniest for: former Napoleons, current Napoleons, or anti-Napoleons? Explain.

    Former Napoleons, mainly because they can relate to the way that Napoleon feels.

6) What is the “social order” in your high school? 
    Who’s at the top? (no names)
    Where do you think Napoleon would fit in?
    Where is your place?

    The preppy/annoying/entitled kids.
    Napoleon would fit in with the oddball outcasts.
    I don't really know or even care where I stand in the "social order" because all that matters to me is that I have a few good friends that stand up for what they believe is right.

7) Would you vote for Pedro or Summer? Why?

    Obviously pedro, Entitled kids like summer are the worst.

    Kip - Accepting himself.
    Uncle Rico - not being able to hold a steady job.

    He doesn't care if other people accept him or not.

10) What’s one “Napoleon” thing about you?

      Really awkward.

      He doesn't appear to be upset but he gets harassed a lot and that is quite disheartening.
