i be excite to hear that someone have make a documentary on what it be like to be puerto rican . when i hear it be rosie perez and i wonder . could she possibly know what it be really like to be puerto rican . as far a i knew . she be a nuyorican . well anyway and i anxiously sat with my popcorn to watch . i realize 10 min into it that my initial apprehension be right . rosie perez have little knowledge about what it be like to be puerto rican . this documentary be more a 1st hand and very very personal account on what it be like to be a nuyorican . and all of what that entail . she ( like most of the nuyoricans i know ) have a water down and partial and sometimes twisted sense of history . ( how could they not . they live here . ) yes and all of them be proud . a they should be . but a lot do not know the in and out of the real culture and history and political background or language for the most part . it all become very very apparent with her participation in the vieques issue . regardless of my personal take be on this issue . at least i know what the hell the fight be for . there be she be get arrest for something she know little about . and only participate in because it be a puerto rican cause i really do not understand how she be not embarrass to admit to it . for those of you that be not puerto rican and please view this a a partial account of a woman journey of self discovery and acceptance . do not take this a gospel . a lot of it isn not even true . please consider the source . rosie be an actress while not a historian . this movie be not and should never be and for other nuyoricans and the base for their information . instead and just a step towards find more info and learning and debate what the reality be . not just the one come from this woman eye .
