The main actor who played the father Carlos, Demián Bichir, was nominated for best actor at the 2012 Oscars for this role.
He played an El Paso detective in The Bridge
@@johnnyviking8152 sad they didnt continue that serie
@@rodeaglerod2715 I enjoyed the show, it must've been good if my mother did as well. She had me read Daughters of Jaurez before I moved to El Paso.
Demián Bichir in Dom Hemingway was one of the best features of that entire film imo.
@@johnnyviking8152 how you liking Chuco town ese
When I was a kid it was just my mom and I. I would come home to the apt from elementary and lock the doors until mom came home from work. The fear of her getting randomly caught and deported was always in my 8 year old mind thinking about what I would do. That was 22 years ago. Now I'm a Marine vet and an engineer and she is close to getting her residence. My wife and I are taking her to Hawaii to celebrate. Her struggles paid of for a better life for us. Need to watch this movie and am glad I saw your vid.
*punching arm* aahhhhh u did it foo u doin great keep it up. Have fun in Hawaii.
Same bro currently army
Semper Fi brother but same got the apportunity to get my papers through the military and now my you get sister also Inlisted and both our parents are in the process of getting their papers. A lot of Americans don’t understand the sacrifices immigrant parents go through.
BS
Congrats! My mother got denied! I feel like its mostly my whole fault but then not cuz i was able to fix my pops papers, but wen i tried my mom, her lawyer scared my mother to the point where my mother is now hiding, she even stopped working, shes thinking bout leaving on her own cuz shes scare dof being captured and taken in, now she has to get rid of everything, like her home and other personal stuff she workd hard for..
That hit way hard, I'm a poor, often homeless black man, constantly trying to move up. This definitely is a universal theme.
Ok but we have to worry about being thrown out u can make if we can make it in ho
Tho
Your poor not because your black your poor because instead of working your out here watching dumb videos
Hey man hope you’re doing good brother
I feel your struggles G my mom only gives me a monthly allowance of only 2 thousand
What am I Finna do with only dat little cash mayne I gotta get back in to hustling bruh
Pulling at my heart strings man, my father was deported twice. 2nd time took him 2 weeks to go home, dehydrated & starved while having to defend a few young girls from the coyotes. I can never thank that man enough for fighting for his family and risking his life for us and others.
How’s your father doing now?
@@angelmedina5477 Man thankfully he’s back in the states, but that took place back in 2017.
Don’t come back
@@johnnyblazem5326 lmfao, come to Dallas, Tx. Say that to my face, love to show ya something.
@@johnnyblazem5326 Seriously... I would love for you to try and say it to our face.
Bruh that 1st voicemail hit me outta no where… it’s so emotional 💔 all alone… lotion on… just strokin his shit :(

@@TenTabs tex mex is wack why yall make the tortillas so damn thick. West coast shit way better tbh
Guys let's not start another taco war in the comments section!
@@Tom_Samad I will say Texas has some damn good breakfast tacos
@@haggard1378 for burritos, we then to load our tacos with ton of meat and shit. Like brisket for example.
the first time I ever saw this movie, I cried and hugged my dad super hard...
I don't have a dad but my grandpa is the only person I'll ever consider as a father figure. He reminds me of the dad in the movie. Hard working man. He also has had his truck stolen multiple times but thankfully he is armed with guns to protect himself from thugs
You got mad potential chamaco, got them notifications on keep these videos coming guarantee you're gonna blow, us Hispanics been needing a channel like yours for a long ahh time now, fw your channel heavy 💯💯💯
Ayeee thanks mannn and got more video comming up 👍😎

A toda madre o un desmadre!

It was straight up me and my dad..especially the voicemail part...here i am 29 my dad got deported when i was 21 we had our first beer toogether then the next day got the voicemail from him havent seen him in person since but i got two new baby sisters within the time but in 2 years he's gna be able to come back and visit.

So 2 diff baby sisters from someone else? Damn he finna be mad
@@ChristianHtownTx713 going to have a baby bro this December now :)
Bro someone stole my immigrated Grandpa's truck too back in Fontana😭 lol glad I found your channel 😎
Dammm dude I guess this film unites us with that dam south cali crime!!!!😂😂
😳😲😳😲😲
Daaaamn. Driving old cars is scary how they can took with a dam screwdriver. I remember, maybe, some foo longgg ago ain’t got no 🔑 lost it or some, maybe stolen too... shiiiieet a screwdriver was the 🔑 and he kept it in his cup holder
Dawg, my truck got stolen last year around the corner from my place in Fontana.lol😒
Y'all need to learn stick. It's funny but a lot of thieves can't drive stick.
Just binge watched the whole channel, not many. But definitely worth it; only bad part is I gotta wait for the next upload
Thanks 🙏
Lol you ain’t got no licenses.” Don’t say that too loud 😂😂😂😂😂 I can relate
Yooo 😂 that voicemail caught me off guard 😂😂😂 You’re a character hermano. keep it up!
His boss was also in El Infierno. Should give that a watch/review 🔥
my dad was deported when I was 10. The actor in this film looks identical to him. It was hard to watch. I really wish i had a dad growing up. Maybe i'd have a better life if that was the case...
This video was on my feed, thanks to the CZcams algorithm. This movie really hit me when I saw it since a lot of things portrayed in it were things my mom and myself experienced. We were living in Arizona for the most part when we lived back in the US the whole immigration situation started to worsen yearly since the 9/11 event. I remember one summer I worked to buy one of them prepaid cellphones and use it on the bus just to call my mom every morning while I went to school since there was no shorter route for her to take to work however, some occasions there was roadblocks where ICE would do random inspections. I would call my mom to inform her if there was or not, it was just my mom and myself where we couldn't afford to have her deported in case she would get stopped for an inspection.
My mom also had her car robbed by a so called "friend's mom" of mine where my mom was doing a good deed to help her by selling the car we had so she could move around with her family and with that money we would then buy a better car. I remember going around the town to hunt her down after she kept avoiding my mom's calls for the money, she sold the car to someone else but didn't want to give my mom the money she owed her, I wanted to beat the 💩out of her but my mom stopped me and simply forgave her, soon a few months after a decline in my mom's health we came back to Mexico and have been here for almost 17 years now since this event.
Every time they broadcast this movie on tv, it brings these memories back to me...
I'm not even Hispanic but man this channel is awesome. Got yourself a sub
Thanks man 🙏
The barrio is for all people 💯
The Barrio welcomes all
Yes another Mexican-American CZcamsr that's going to make it up there I'm one myself let's hope we do good Godspeed
I remember seeing this in high school, good ass movie. The scene where the guy steals the other guy's truck and tools was so fucked up.
I'm here commenting, subscribing and liking this video so that you could have "A BETTER LIFE"
I remembered a time when i was young and didn’t understand what it meant that my parents were going away for a while. They sent to prison for helping my cousin escape the gangs in El Salvador and they couldn’t turn to anyone else. I don’t remember much then, but what i do remember was when they miss my 9th & 10th birthday. From that day onwards i never had respect for a government that would do that to a 10 year old kid…
Dont say that mijo killed me everytime
My dad cried when he saw this movie
My dad tried doing the same thing with the lawyers, only lost money.
Anyways, moving back to Mexico was for the better, learned so much and got a lot of life experience.
got reccomended your channel from primm's hood cinema, and im super grateful for it. you got a great channel here as well, with the clip jokes and reviewing sad hood shit, but always being funny. and props for the sopranos clips in there as well!
Ayeee thanks and glad you enjoyed it man🔥👍
love the videos man. I would love if you could make a video on another popular immigration movie it’s called Under The Same Moon. Very relatable if your parents are immigrants.
That movie had a cameo with los Tigres del norte. Good movie.
I remember watching this and it had my balling my eyes out man. Sheesh. Powerful movie.
Other movies I recommend
1. Abajo La Misma Luna (under the same moon)
2. Maria Full of Grace
3. Stand and Deliver
4. In the heights
If anyone else has other recommendations drop them down below.
Green card warriors
In The Heights Don’t Count
Good list. Jaula de oro would be a good one as well. It's about three teenage central American immigrants that try to cross Mexico to reach the states.
instructions not included
greater glory
El Norte
Man them edits are 10 nalgas out of 10. Keep em rollin mijo
Had me cracking up. Very well done with the edits. Digging the reviews.
Much appreciated!
That 1st voicemail had me dying 😂😂, really thought it was the actual movie😅
Bro the voicemail is outta pocket ☠️☠️
this is one of the best movies that I've ever seen. Made me cry like crazy
Film hits home. Haven't seen my father in over 15+ years. I have hope we will see each other again. Thanks for the laughs
Dog your editing was to good keep up the great work
I'm happy CZcams recommended me to your channel man this channel is it.
Just found this channel. Good stuff bro I was dying😂 keep it up my G
Dude Richard carbjal is an intense actor he was one of my favorites on Mayans Mc him and Vincent Vargas “gilly”
I remember the summer going into my 8th grade year when I woke up to my mom bawling on the phone in the middle of the night to the news that my dad was caught by ice and would be sent back to Mexico, in a flash everything went down hill. I shared a bed with my mother and younger brother in a one room apartment. I will never forget having to walk with my mom and brother over an hour in the California heat to go apply for ebt because my mother couldn’t even afford to take the bus. Luckily my dad was able to come back but man I will never forgot those hard times and will always be thankful for my moms ability to take care of us during those times
I'm going to watch this film based on your review.
The saddest immigration film , maybe the saddest film ever is El Norte (1983)
That is a classic
Do american me after bro, you're really entertaining.
Man I just found your channel from the BIBO videos, shits fkn hilarious 😂
Like a Mexican Primm's Hood Cinema lol
Oralé 🤙🏻from west Texas
Have you seen "under the same moon" it was the first movie ever to cry as a kid
6:16 if youre an immigrant, you probably know someone to whom this has happened to.
I personally know a dude who was a contractor, and he tried expanding into a 2 crew operation.
Inmediately he got his second truck and equipment stolen by one of his employees.
when you have your own business, this is a legitimate concern, thats why its so hard for immigrants to grow their businesses. for all that talk about "la raza" we really do stab each other in the back really often.
But when "Mr. Johnson" is the boss, we're the most timid and obedient employees you can find.
Soprano references killed me 😂😂
Watched all your content bro growin up from the SGV this is awesome and glad someone from the area doing our classics some justice with these videos to spread it out to othersiders.
Appreciate that👍
Just from your review....i can tell its a damn good movie...
Honestly it is such a good movie. Had me weeping like a baby throughout thinking about my mom and what we’ve been through together.
I think el Inferino is better because it’s better made. It captures the experience of being away family and coming back to see the decay of your hometown and family by people in power feeding off the labor and hope of the people.
CZcamss algorithm has a funny way of blessing my feed 🙏🏽 subbed buddy keep it coming i need consume
Ever since I started watching this channel all of my ads are in soanish
Don't say that mijo..don't say that.😂❤ Love that shit bro
Seriiooo foo once I watched that movie a real vato shed a tear. This movie showed reality and it showed the truth about the immigrant mentality.
10:56 BRUHHH IM DEADDDD🤣 you got a new sub man, keep doing funny shit like this, you going places🤝🏻
wait, wouldn't having a kid in the US help the dads case for naturalization? not to mention having a stable job and no criminal record prior to the truck thievery
If you think this is the best immigration movie you gotta watch "Under the Same Moon (2007)" shit had me tearing up when I was young
Looks like you had a blast! I will def check the masonic temple
Wow, somehow I commented on the wrong video.
Wtf🤣🤣😅@11:46 had me LMAO 🤣
Good vid man you should review this one movie called Sin Nombre (2009)
Great video! That scene is heartbreaking.
This editing got me rolling 10/10😂
8:42 because you don’t get as full eating a tortilla dipped in hot sauce as you do from eating a real taco, and the actors don’t know that they won’t have to do a lot of takes. If you’re on take 14 and you eat half a taco in the scene, you’ve now eaten 7 tacos.
You're on thin ice buddy for that salvatrucho joke, jk jk love the channel and I'm glad it got recommended.
Glad you enjoyed!
Man I really like your videos, I hope that you continue making more and more videos.
You and primm hood cinema gotta collab 🙌😂
well that didn't take long to watch all your videos haha, keep it up!
Thanks, will do!
What happens if I don’t succeed with this CZcams channel?
I won’t get deported but I won’t have a better life 😂😂😂 subscribed after that lmao
This vid earned you a sub. I found you with the shot caller video.
Muy bien trabajo mijo. Your hilarious bro
Thanks glad you enjoyed the content 😂👍
Omg that voicemail had me weak dawg lmaoooo 😂 subbed
Gotta support small channels 💪
You wanna see a sad ass immigration movie? I recommend Under the same Moon, it’s also pretty good
Should review Sin Nombre, probably the best immigration film of all time
The racist and capitalist system of exploitation in the US is just barbarous towards the people that straight up built their damn country. My dad was going through the same type of shit, grinding, working off his ass, being abused by an uncaring and racist system, he had to jump a lot of loops to become something resembling a citizen in yankeeland. The US pillaged and raped our countries and when we exercise our rights as overexploited third world black people, we get caged in damn kennels like we dogs. This type of stories hit right up in the heart towards us, not only Mexicans. Every single peoples in Latin America can understand this.
the WAPS built the country not some guy 400 years after lol, inmigration from spanish colonies to english colonies was almost non existent prior to 1900
and "capitalist le bad" isnt capitalism why they go to the us? LOL
Foo next you gotta do Born in East LA with Cheech Marin and do a comparison LOL
This movie is like the Mexican's version of Pursuit of Happiness
Not really.
Daaayumn! I'm a have to check this one out. Looks 👍 good
Awesome review and awesome editing as well!
Glad you enjoyed it!
“My gramp.. sorry i mean my abuelito”😂😂😂
So many thief’s in LA my step dad got a truck that was stolen they gave some fake pink that was pretty legit and he lost 14k cops honestly didn’t care after I gave them alot info I even tracked them down once try calling cops but they just showed too late and they had left before cops arrived we tried following them but they got away
Then his Dad became legal, created a successful business, and created Mechagodzilla.
Editing on Point 🤌
Your fxckin funny af bro
Your editing style is different
Dude I have binge watching your videos, amazing.
Love the GTA V references 🤣
Glad you like them Holmes 👍👍👍
