    Sin Nombre

    by alexandra_taylor

    I walked into the movie by myself hoping for a little entertainment, but I received a lot more than that. The movie not only entertained me, but tore at my heartstrings. I had no idea of the extreme difficulties and consequences of crossing the border, nor was I fully aware how gangs worked. Though the trailer makes the movie appear to be a love story, it is not that at all. Sin Nombre is a tale of two young adults, who are vying for better lives in America. The story is real. I felt as though I were there with the actors. I couldn't stop thinking about the movie after it ended. One of my favorites, though only if I'm prepared to cry.

    Fabulous!! Shakespearean drama. Great acting. Although my friends thought it was depressing, I thought it was fascinating. Character development w/ very little information was impressive. If you don't like to be sad, though, don't go. If you love film, then you must see it.

    I Came in to this movie very sceptical thought it was just gona be alirght but i was wrong it ended up being realistic the stories i hear on the border about what happens to people and how things are down there in latin america this film caputres the essance of it all. everyone i know that watched this movie before me and after me had very high prase on this film thought it was better than they expected dont want to give too much away. i hope this film gets accepted in america but i think it will have a tough time because i dont think america is ready for a gang member protagonest. Kinda like V for Vandetta i dont think america will ever accept a terrorist hero.
