EL NORTE

Alright Ive seen this movie 3 times before. Each year in my Spanish class in High School we watched this film. I personally never really cared for it, probably because ive seen it so many times in a class i never really wanted to be in. It does show the alternate side of immigration and how some maybe even most immigrants only come here to provide more for their families and themselves. It also shows how immigrants are treated poorly in the U.S, they are modern slaves. I don't support illegal immigrants, I personally would like to see the honest immigrants who want to come here to work and live the American dream go through a swifter system (which is not wrapped in red tape) so that they can enter legally and pay taxes and be treated fairly. El Norte stays away from much of the politics so if your not into the politics of it all then this film should not be as hard to watch.
