This movie is an extraordinary touching film. It represents the struggle of this nine year old child and how it is very hard for him to cope with the away ness of his mother. Carlito is the boy’s name and his mother is Rosario. Both personas are going mad trying their hardest to be by each others side. In addition, this movie depicts the hardships that illegal immigrants deal with in the America. This movie touched me because it shows the love that a mother and son have for each other. Also, because of the reality that many immigrants have to tussle with in their everyday life. For example, Rosario in the way of how she had to manage to work two jobs to support her son and herself. I can say the part that really touched me and the person who touched me as well is Carlito because of the braveness he put together in him to cross the border to be by the side of his mother.
I can connect with both characters in certain ways. Carlito reminds me a lot of myself. I am the type of person who would also built up braveness as Carlito did, to reach something or someone I love. Rosario connects to me in the way of how my mother is with me. My mother would send me money in order to live a comfortable life when I was in Ecuador for two years. However, the conditions that they faced are details that I never faced and wouldn’t want to face them either. My mother didn’t pass through the situation Rosario did and I never faced the situation Carlito faced. I would recommend this movie to many people in order for them to visualize the cruelty that immigrants receive and to try to change their views towards immigrants; they are not invaders, they are humans just as you and me.
karen, I liked your essay a lot. In addition to that, i think you did a great job by comparing yourself to the charecters of the movie. However, i believe that you can add more details and support your arguments by giving more examples from your life. But in general great job. :)
