In general, the main theme of the movie Elemental is about immigrating to new lands and trying to fit into a new society. Another essential theme is that of different individuals, in this case the elements of fire and water, interacting with one another and in some cases falling in love.
1. Do you think fire and water can mix? What is your perspective on people from different cultural backgrounds falling in love?
Another thing mentioned yesterday by Ember was how she felt "trapped" in her situation. She doesn't really want to run her father's shop, and she would like the opportunity to study art outside of Element City. But, she feels she has to repay the sacrifice her father made for her.
2. Have you ever felt committed to your family even if it went against something else you wanted to do?
3. Have you ever felt trapped into doing things you otherwise didn't want to?
