Movie: Star Trek episode

In the Star Trek episode we watched in class captain Picard was teleported on a planet in which the Enterprise and the opposing ship were orbiting. Picard was also teleported along with the other ships opposing captain in order to communicate and resolve a difference. The other captain and alien race did not speak English, or spoke at least a somewhat broken English, so it was difficult for Picard and the other captain to communicate. The reason why both captains were teleported to the planet was so that they could coordinate a plan in which they had to execute together to kill a shadow monster type thing.  

 

Communication was difficult at first until Picard found a way to relate his form of communication with alien captain in the form of mythology. once the two captain were able to understand each other mythology then they were able to roughly communicate. Eventually the two captains go to fight the shadow monster and the alien captain meets his end. Picard understands his final dying words and slays the beast and returns to his ship. Picard finally ends his the episode communicating what the alien captain had said to the opposing ship and they leave in peace. The episode concludes with Picard talking to a shipmate and mythology and communication and how it should be taught and learned more so that we are able to effectively communicate through it.
