A touching family portrait of Mexican Americans
A Better Life is a touching story about a Mexican American immigrant family in Los Angeles starring Demian Bichir as Carlos Galindo and Jose Julian as his son Luis.<br /><br />The gist of the story is the generation gap between father and son. Bichir is an illegal immigrant who works as a day laborer and sometime landscaper. Luis on the other hand is barely making it in high school. Bichir came to Mexico for a better life like so many other immigrants and wanted Luis to have everything he didn’t. The problem is Luis considers himself a Mexican American and looks down up his father and other immigrants as poor Mexicans who do gardening and wash dishes. The movie is about how they overcome their differences.<br /><br />The movie works as good family film, and social commentary about many Mexican immigrant families in America. It also champions Mexican American life and culture. The ending is a complete tearjerker and an important story of what happens to many families.<br />C
