I always felt so bad for Richie's brother in the movie because he always seemed to get the crappy end of the stick with his mother. Yes he was a bit of a screw up but when he tried like winning the art contest she never cared.
@@aarondavid5866 you would probably say a top gun scene im assuming where he says some shit like " let me see what you got " while it pans to a suit up scene
You gotta admit... Thats damn good writing. When Ritchie accepts the gift from the healer and asks " What is all this? " and Bobs response is, " Mexico " It's so amazing to see in the very next scene when the mother asks the same thing about the necklace itself " What is this? " and Ritchies response is, " Bob " Damn good writing.
A chicano must realize they are not Mexican. They are American of Mexican bloodline only. They are mostly stripped of most cultural and language heritage. 😢
i can relate. I'm half rican/half polish. father from Ponce. moms from Krakow Poland. i speak all three languages. however, i look very polish. i have dark hair, dark eyes but my features are more slavic than traditional latino. so, everybody just assume im white because im very very lght skinned. Growin up in suburban chicago, there were so many latinos and polaks. but, i never quite fit in culturally because i resemble my mom. now i live in Wilkes-barre PA. we moved here to care for my ailing grandmother. this place like a little santo domingo. so many Dominicans. one day i was chillin in the city and the Dominicans were talkin sh/t about me callin me "gringo " and americano. i turned tables on em quick and asked them in Spanish why they wre dissing me. they wre like "oh man, we thought u were white. " i'm like nah bro. ---boricua. i love trolling the spanish ppl here in PA because their blown away when i speak spanish....its always funny
It's crazy that mom's can talk to their sons like this. I think of Tony Montana's mom in Scarface when I see this clip. It's like damn, mom has some words to say, "Go play with your bike!" LMFAO. Savage.
Ritchie Valens: Goes from not being able to speak Spanish to being able to sing "La Bamba" with EXTENSIVE and fluent Spanish after a trip to Mexico with his brother!
Kool scene, where Bob says he's been coming here for years, his spiritual father, because he had no father, and Ritchie liked, la mala vida, the bad life, and Connie. Reminds me of my mom, when I came home buzzed, brought back many memories
Bob said he had been coming to that old man for years. Said he was his spiritual father. He must've been looking for answers. Confess his sins or something.
I am Mexican-American, born in Santa Monica, California I have been to Mexico countless times in my life. Whenever someone, Including my wife and my in-laws, ask me what Mexico is like, I show them this. To me it's a place of healing and rejuvenation, where I can get back to my ancestors and just wash myself and remind myself where I came from. Sorry my Spanish is rusty.
Bro your words are spot on. Lately I’ve been feeling down and warned out because of the everyday hustle and grind here in the States. It’s to the point where I get annoyed and drained by people here, the traffic, bills, and just modern civilization in general. I was born in Oaxaca Mexico and planning to go back soon and reconnect with my roots and find peace.
@@wonkaIndian100 Find peace, soy de Chichemeca y norteno indios. My wife is Jamaican-American and I went to Jamaica this Summer, we are to Mexico for the holidays to see my Ancestor lands and my cousins. I am taking her parents as well.
There's supposed to be a remake of this movie in the near future. I think this movie is perfect as is. Instead of doing a movie remake, I'd rather watch a mini series on Netflix/Amazon/Hulu etc.!
yea honestly not trying to be superstitious or nothing but Witchcraft or Brujeria as its called in Latin America is a very real thing especially in Mexico it gets VERY Dark I grew up around it and have seen how it ruins peoples lives truly its really nothing to laugh or play about who really knows what 'spell" that curandero or brujo put on Ritchie when he went with his Brother to Mexico or if his Brother honestly had pure intentions in mind in acually helping his Brother because like he said in the movie "you always care more about Ritchie" his envy was obvious doesnt mean he didnt truly love his brother but maybe Bob felt like he could never win in the eyes of his Mother who. really knows RIP Ritchie Valens though his life story was amazing and at such a young age back then.
The old story about how rattlesnakes stalk people is a myth. Rattlesnakes don't even want to be around people. It's just when they feel threatened or cornered that they bite people.
While entertaining this whole episode never happened...I know that movies are not ever completely factual but the whole migrant fruit working family and this episode ate pure fiction, and the conflict between Ritchie and Bob was also exaggerated..that being said it's still a very good film and captures Ritchies drive and determination to succeed...
Yeah their sister said that Bob was never jealous of Ritchie and that he was not a drug trafficker and their uncle did not have an ice cream truck. Donna also said her parents didn’t object to her dating Ritchie.
@@dariog36th The last interview I saw from Donna was where she said that her father did not want her dating Ritchie because he was Hispanic. Donna, in another interview, said that when she became an adult she had no real interaction with her father anymore.
Bob is one cool ass guy. I would love him as a big brother. I wouldn't have liked him screwing the girl I was in love with. But he did make it up by taking Ritchie to get some booty and booze from a Mexican brothel. And plus a cool tattoo that symbolizes Ritchie's love for Rock & Roll. And most likely paid for everything.
Oh hell yeah! I think i could forgive my big bro for railing my teenage crush.... if he were to take me to Mexico on a drug run, and to get laid at a sleezy brothel! and wake up in the hut of a creepy old curandero wearing snake skin! I ❤ Tijuana!!!🎸🌵💃🍺 💦
This movie had so many elements that hit so close to home and you can thank Esai and Lou for making it happen.
Esai Morales is vastly underrated. Guy owns every film he appears in.
I really liked him as Slade Wilson
He really plays a mexican really good for a puertorican
He was intimidating on the other Bad Boys movie with Sean Penn.
