Hopefully this movie comes to Texas. When I first saw a preview a few weeks ago...I was not that excited because its has the most common plot ( la famila inmigrante sufre al venir a los EEUU, la unidad de la familia es interumpida y luego atravez de eventos imaginables se reunen y se convierte en un cuento feliz) . Don't get me wrong, I truly wish that all immigrant families had a happy ending in real life. I just feel it is "refry". What matters in this story is that family is the most important aspect and the reality is moving...I'm sure that many people will go see it. We'll see if im right or wrong when I watch the movie.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
LA MISMA LUNA
In her feature debut, Patricia Riggen offers a touching tale of the way the love between a mother and child can thrive and endure despite physical separation.
In La Misma Luna (The Same Moon), Riggen gives us the parallel stories of nine-year-old Carlitos and his mother, Rosario. In the hopes of providing a better life for her son, Rosario works illegally in the U.S. while her mother cares for Carlitos back in Mexico.
Unexpected circumstances drive both Rosario and Carlitos to embark on their own journeys in a desperate attempt to reunite. Along the way, mother and son face challenges and obstacles but never lose hope that they will one day be together again.
Riggen's film is not only a heartwarming family story; she also offers subtle commentary on the much-debated issue of illegal immigration.
Adeptly weaving the stories of mother and son, Riggen has created a poignant film that reminds us that the most important thing in life is the love of family. At every turn, La Misma Luna (The Same Moon) underscores the notion that geography is insignificant, for we are all under the same moon.
