2. How do both films deal with issues of readability, legibility,understanding, and misunderstanding? What different levels of reading arethere and how do they compete and/or compliment each other?context.

in both films, we sometimes could not understand and i thought that was because back then technology was not that good. but (before joe told us that it was ment to be like that,) i was thinking maybe it is becuase the person who is receiving the letter/listening, did not really focus on what they were saying. we were actually hearing what they were hearing. the car driver had to focus on driving more than listening to her, and the daughter was very busy with her life in NY so eventhough she loves and misses her family, she did not have time to read and answer to it right away but she could skim through it. and the contents of the letters were almost the same.
