"1. In the opening scene we see Cohen entering the White House as a guest of the President, and see all the paintings of previous presidents. Later on in the flashback we see a parade with tons of US flags. The only thing missing was fireworks!\n \n\n\n\t2. The bit of dialogue that sticks out to me is when Cohen talks about always carrying a US flag or following a parade, and Roosevelt asks him if he outgrew that quality. Roosevelt goes on further to say that is one quality he has always admired about Irish Americans. \n \n\n\n\t3. I think if the movie started with the flashback it would have changed the tone of the picture. With the White House intro we get to see Cohen as himself and the whole scene shows Cohen as a humble and patriotic person. The opening also gives the audience member the idea that this man was very important and contributed a lot to our cultural history. \n "
