Eye C As a Mexican, I must say I can’t relate with this family, but is also true that there are so many regions in Mexico and every single one of them has his own forms and manners, the thing that brings all Mexicans together is that we are so damn loud. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/05/24 Full Review Bethany W A classic Mexican/Chicano film! If you're into the Chicano and Mexican culture, I recommend watching this classic. Not going to lie, it starts off a little cheesy, but it gets better and better as you keep watching it. Just like the other reviews said, this is definitely accurate to the Mexican/Chicano culture in LA. Overall, this is a great movie. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Francis Ford Coppola and director Gregory Navas tell a pretty satisfying story of three generations of Mexican-American families. They want to live their best lives possible without hurt, heartache, or hardship. It doesn't always come easy since the main father narrates their entire journey starting in the 1930s all the way to the 1990s. Some of the siblings want to be married, have a family while others devote themselves to god or living the life of crime in order to not fall to expected lifestyles of their parents. Each era is different affecting each member. They have ideas, passions, dreams but also obstacles and challenges whether personally or politically. A pretty large cast of unknown Latino actors minus Jimmy Smits and Jennifer Lopez. Still they honestly feel like a real extended family able to go through the many shortcomings anyone has dealt with. Every family has their beginnings, legacy, and end but none of them can be told they each didn't leave a part of themselves leaving an impact on all their lives. Anyone's roots can be traced back as far as possible. Whether you're Mexican or not every family member is just as important as the next before or after.
