Movie #562 ........................."A Better Life"

Movie #562 "A Better Life" was an emotional film about the immigration problem in the US. It's a very touching story about how much a father will go through for his son. I have read books on the subject, but this shows the plight of one Mexican immigrant who is trying his best to raise his teenage son, just when he's at the point of going toward something else in order to survive. A heartbreaking ending. This movie reminded me of a modern day "Bicycle Thief" because the same things seem to be going on here.





I rate it 3.5 out of 5 stars
A Better Life
(2011) PG-13
This candid social drama tracks the relationship and conflicts between Mexican immigrant gardener Carlos and his teenage son Luis, whom he's trying to interest in earning an honest living rather than drifting into the East L.A. gang scene.
Genre:Dramas, Crime Dramas, Social Issue Dramas
This movie is:Emotional, Gritty, Heartfelt
