  "La Mission" a look into the world of Gay & ******* Youth

  by 1supermariobro

  First I want to thank the screenwriters for a dead-on portrayal that LGBT youth experience. No one wants to disappoint their parents at any time. This story line transcends cultural and ethnic lines as youth and parent contend with their conflicts and to some extent resolutions. How do we deal with this issue of homosexuality in and out of the family unit. It (the issue of homosexuality) is almost always an issue of family violence, mistrust, and banishment. I wish that parents view this film as a learning tool, and learn to love their children without condition.

  La Mission is mas firme!

  by ChixwithStixandFlix

  Okay, so I'm not Latina BUT I did grow up in La Mission during the mid-80's and attended Mission High School. This movie was truly a powerful picture. I got a little choked up seeing my old stomping grounds, alma mater, and familiar businesses (La Palma..the BEST nacatamales out there). Ben Bratt was amazing in this film, and his character unflinching. The storyline is current, raw, and touching. I love seeing all the lowriders and the casting PERFECT as each character seemed very real. Che's homies in the movie seem like homies I would have hung with back in the day. Excellent choice of music in the movie, and it is a movie that simply stays with you long after it's over. FINALLY, a real movie about The Mission district which captures the beauty, culture, essence of a unique section of SF. If you would've told me back in my cholita days (ahem, okso I was a wannabe) that a movie would be made in 20 years where lowriders are running on vegetable oil I would have said "Chale!", eh!

  La Mission

  by JAC64

  Do not miss this movie. Movies today lack substance...this movie you may want to see more than once. The Bratt brothers did a brilliant job in telling a story while maintaining the reality of how traditions and the real world can impact your life. The acting is flawless, the cars are beautiful, the music makes you want to move...you will laugh, you will cry. It was awesome. You will appreciate this film and the authenticity of the characters. Benjamin Bratt play Che Rivera in such a smooth, suave, and emotional manner that you become involved in the film from the beginning. Can't wait for the DVD. Highly recommended.

  Anyone serious about recovery would ressonate with this movie. Very Mindfull and thoughtful.

  by asca192

  I appreciate the interaction between the men in this movie - they relate, they talk, they
  listen, they are thinking, feeling & fully alive humans. Watching them intereact was meaningful.
  The way Che faced himself was brilliant. Demonstrating how men change is
  often glamorized. This movie felt real and the struggle felt real. I had to see this movie twice - two nights in a row. It was profund and interesting to observe the way Lena (Erika Alexander) evoked feminine beauty and confidence - her dialog was very well thought out.
