1. Why the film?
People assume talking, just talking is low risk. The film shows in the world that certainly is not true.
Many assume that preparation is unimportant or too time consuming. What does the film say?
Many assume that not knowing can be cured by being glib and is somehow a substitute for preparedness. What does the film say?
In the film where is “negotiating” not being done? Or is it throughout the entire film?
Was the situation in the film static or dynamic?
Did the two negotiators have a lot of psychological energy invested in how they viewed themselves? How about others, did they have psychological energy invested in the characters?
What was the important off relationships throughout the film?
In the film do emotions matter?
Did the characters hide their emotions, or did they use them? If so, how and why?
In this film the stakes are very high at the most dramatic moments.
However, if you are paying attention how does the film show that negotiations of the highest stakes are created by the everyday “negotiations” we have in our lives.
With foregoing in mind, do negotiations stack on top of each other or are they isolated? What does the film imply?
Do you think how you are as a person impacts how you will respond in a negotiation process or situation?
The film shows something important.
Can people make assumptions based upon the internal stories they have in their mind?
Do you think that these personal stories have an impact on how we see the world?
Where one character says “I am a stranger …” what does he mean? And was this really true, if not why not?
How long did it take the main character to develop his negotiating skill?
Did the film indicate that he was a novice or the best?
What does that tell us about what level of personal and professional acumen we will need to possess in almost any negotiating situation if we want to either get our desired outcome or to have the other side agree to what we are proposing?
Were the key negotiators locked into just one way at viewing the situation(s) or were they variable, adaptable and flexible at critical junctures in the negotiation process?
