why im glad to be a proud mexican, were all about la cultura and raza, if i had to choose what race i would always pick mexican, proud of mi raza viva mexico, u.s. should appreciate them more!!!!
i think the owl foreshadowed potential death like when he was a baby he couldve died prior to his death, the owl signified that he could turn himself in
It comes from Native American cultures actually (which Mexicans partially descend from due to their mixed race). The belief is that an owl hooting during the daytime, or even seeing an owl during the daytime, is a bad omen that welcomes death. There's even a saying Mexicans of yesteryear, from the time of the 1900s and before which says, "When the owl sings, the Indian dies." There's a series in Hulu called "Rez Dogs" and they play with this concept in one of the episodes. I recommend the show.
Why couldn't Chucho just turn himself in instead of running and hiding? He could've just left the country for good. The white owl has to mean something. It's like following Chucho to kill him or something.
He was a dead man, either by the law, or by vengeance. The barn owl is a symbol of what his father was feeling. It was eating his soul alive. He had to protect his family from that life. I had a feeling his brother would have been able to convince Chucho to turn himself in but after killing Butch his borrowed time had come to an end.
The river spirit claimed chuco’s life when he survived the rapids as an infant with his mother. The owl was present then and signifies the claim on his life. Shoutout goes to ms. Depaoli and her spanish class for the proper analysis of this wonderful film
Omg this scene infuriates me so much and reminds me of how things were in the 80`s with cops like this and la communidad del barrio. They hit the dad trying to reach his murdered son. ayaaaaaay!!
That is why Jimmy grew up to be an angry man with no love for anyone. Any child who goes through something very tragic and traumatizing as this, wow...OMG. I don't know what to say, very sad.
Cold piece how Blue Boys wet homie up like that,shoulda had his ass on the 1st thing smokin' to Tijuana anyway.Was a nice shot from long range with the .38 tho.
One of the saddest deaths in movie history. I understand the time and racism but Chucho didn’t have any weapons. Esai Morales deserved a better Hollywood career
Does any one what Chucho Name really is i think he is a fantastic actor also Jimmy. I am sure i have seen him in other movies before but this one i feel he done very well especially when he sees his brother get shot. I feel so sad when watching that bit
brilliant that's the perspective of what people see who live in the neighborhoods..... the little brother, the father, the mother...... are you a murderer if you say a man is armed and dangerous and you aren't sure about that and you tell your men to just shoot.? a man who isn't threatening you in any way..... a man who didn't shoot anybody with a gun..... which one killed intentionally? shot like a dog.... with the children playing all around
That's fucked up what the cop did. Shit like this is why us blacks and browns gotta stick together cuz this kind of stuff happens in our communities all the time
and black people too I want both cultures to reconcile there is no reason to continue to let the "establishment" reck our neighborhoods and force us to kill one another in the name of streets that they own and stole from the natives....sold bought ,kill and destroy that's all they do what a sad legacy for a culture. but us browns and blacks we are different we about our family's about the community! i want us all to get back to that.
in the future chucho will be a cyborg, the bullets would bounce off of his head (guarded by a forcefield) and he will look back, eyes red not from anger but from cyborg laser eyes.
the pigs were horrible back then. they didn't care if they shot anybody. nobody question them nor did anybody investigated these kind of crimes by pigs back then. sad
I don't get it. Why didn't the police yell "halt" or something; give Chucho a chance to turn himself in? They should have yelled "stop", and then if he continues to run shoot him. It doesn't make any sense and is kind of frustrating.
this scene made me cry when I was little, and it still makes me cry =(
why im glad to be a proud mexican, were all about la cultura and raza, if i had to choose what race i would always pick mexican, proud of mi raza viva mexico, u.s. should appreciate them more!!!!
Hell yes viva mexico
i think the owl foreshadowed potential death like when he was a baby he couldve died prior to his death, the owl signified that he could turn himself in
In Mexican culture hearing an owl call signifies death.
It comes from Native American cultures actually (which Mexicans partially descend from due to their mixed race). The belief is that an owl hooting during the daytime, or even seeing an owl during the daytime, is a bad omen that welcomes death. There's even a saying Mexicans of yesteryear, from the time of the 1900s and before which says, "When the owl sings, the Indian dies." There's a series in Hulu called "Rez Dogs" and they play with this concept in one of the episodes. I recommend the show.

@@sillynillybean especially seeing an owl in daylight
Benny Ibarra the police were given strict orders to open fire on sight.
He was a dead man, either by the law, or by vengeance. The barn owl is a symbol of what his father was feeling. It was eating his soul alive. He had to protect his family from that life. I had a feeling his brother would have been able to convince Chucho to turn himself in but after killing Butch his borrowed time had come to an end.
The owl is a bad omen, typically of something bad about to happen or death.
The river spirit claimed chuco’s life when he survived the rapids as an infant with his mother. The owl was present then and signifies the claim on his life.
Shoutout goes to ms. Depaoli and her spanish class for the proper analysis of this wonderful film
jimmy hiding with the sadness then it slowly building into anger... so many of our people feel like that for a lifetime. its so sad but true
This part, where Chucho dies and Jimmy sees it always makes me cry. :'(
True
this shows you that parents always struggle the most
RIP CHUCHO :/
Omg this scene infuriates me so much and reminds me of how things were in the 80`s with cops like this and la communidad del barrio. They hit the dad trying to reach his murdered son. ayaaaaaay!!
Dang! Comments from 8-9 years and me here on this 2020😜😜😜😜
It’s sad I believe Chucho knew his fate it’s a shame priceless between chucho and Jimmy brother love.
Very emotional movie with a lot of truth to those who have lived it .
this must be the 10th time ive come back to this movie lol, good shit, gregory nava need to make more movies like this
Nobody’s gonna talk about how they headshoted him from that far with a revolver?
"We got 'em !!" "Hoo-weey !!" 😂🤣
The Saddest scene ever...
up to this day still makes me cry 😢😢😢 Chucho 💞💔
I love this movie. It captures the truth.
That is why Jimmy grew up to be an angry man with no love for anyone. Any child who goes through something very tragic and traumatizing as this, wow...OMG. I don't know what to say, very sad.
That’s what depression really feels like when you’re trapped and there’s no way out mentally
Poor Jimmy he loved Chucho so much and 4 him 2 see his own Brother that he looked up 2 so much get killed in front of him that would devastate ne body
Chucho didn’t deserve that!!! 😢
Holy Shiet are those actual kids playing outside!?
simon ese pos k chida esta pinche flika homez enserio chale k chida i love this palikula
Chucho should of known when he seen that white owl
Hmmm, they killed the Chuco in cold blood unesessarily. Yet, the Cops were looking for a murderer, who's the REAL criminal here?
this a master peace . godfather ?? shittt...
Tf is wrong with you? The godfather is a master piece too.
its time for lucy :D....niiiice
finally we agree on something!
Damn that cop shot him far away with that pistol. Good shot!
They are the most emotionally unstable police force ever if they act out that way.
Cold piece how Blue Boys wet homie up like that,shoulda had his ass on the 1st thing smokin' to Tijuana anyway.Was a nice shot from long range with the .38 tho.
That I Love Lucy song playing in the background after Chucho death is disturbing. I can't listen to that song the same way again.
One of the saddest deaths in movie history. I understand the time and racism but Chucho didn’t have any weapons. Esai Morales deserved a better Hollywood career
Does any one what Chucho Name really is i think he is a fantastic actor also Jimmy. I am sure i have seen him in other movies before but this one i feel he done very well especially when he sees his brother get shot. I feel so sad when watching that bit
Esai morales
Bastards.... they didn't have to kill him....

plus zoot suit...best 3
Hey that cop is Cole Phelps!
Chucho got laid out man dang thats messed up
the Marine guy is cute! Damn.... And he's the one narrarating. But he looks a wee bit Native American to me O.o.
brilliant that's the perspective of what people see who live in the neighborhoods..... the little brother, the father, the mother...... are you a murderer if you say a man is armed and dangerous and you aren't sure about that and you tell your men to just shoot.? a man who isn't threatening you in any way..... a man who didn't shoot anybody with a gun..... which one killed intentionally? shot like a dog.... with the children playing all around
So sad 😭 chucho passed.
This part of the movie is so hard :(
That's fucked up what the cop did. Shit like this is why us blacks and browns gotta stick together cuz this kind of stuff happens in our communities all the time
Damn what happened to "Freeze"! Police just shot him!
@Maliyani7 yeah. most owls are said to be messengers of death or dire warning.
and black people too I want both cultures to reconcile there is no reason to continue to let the "establishment" reck our neighborhoods and force us to kill one another in the name of streets that they own and stole from the natives....sold bought ,kill and destroy that's all they do what a sad legacy for a culture. but us browns and blacks we are different we about our family's about the community! i want us all to get back to that.
Kool

in the future chucho will be a cyborg, the bullets would bounce off of his head (guarded by a forcefield) and he will look back, eyes red not from anger but from cyborg laser eyes.
Heart breaker

@TheFungPay His name is Esai Morales
@gillysilly23 the key word: Seems. It really indicates when somebody is mad if their comment is all on Caps lock.
Part of me ...
1950s=ultimate prejudice. They weren't simpler times like the media claims they were.
@MrWutupfoo I definitely smell a pork product of some type.
Yes he does have a point but the fact that there European does not mean its a white language and its not Spanish its Castellano
Gangs in la outnumber cops like 8 to 1
@Mirelesx3 its just a damn movie
MPCARL RULES
CHUCHO!!!!!! Nooooooooo
@1966tinman ..datz from blood in blood out
Mrs. Lopez as a nun?! What a waste!!!!
I don't get it. Why didn't the police yell "halt" or something; give Chucho a chance to turn himself in? They should have yelled "stop", and then if he continues to run shoot him. It doesn't make any sense and is kind of frustrating.
Smells Like Bacon :)
@beatnikplaysatune yeahh miklos mom haha. i noticed that.
self defense plea?
@1992dwayjohn This world needs God. If 2012 happens, I can't wait.
I meant "the Chucho guy"...
It's not Aztecan, it's Aztec, scratch that, it's not Aztec, it's Mexica.
the mom played as miklo's mom in blood in blood out
OMG,right in the back of the head.
