Entre nos
I found this movie to be very moving. I could not believe Maria's husband left her and never intented to have her come with him, and not feel guilty about his family. Did he ever wonder what happened to them? I kept wondering all through the movie why she didn't she go to someone for help. I know the answer was because she wanted to stay in the U.S. She felt like she would be sent back to Columbia. Was that bad? If her family was wealthy why not go back? People in America all want to go to South America . It seems a romantic place to go. But not being raised in that country,we haven't known its hardships. Her children were real troopers to go through these hard times. Her son was so helpful ,kind andloving to her. The children did not understand why their father would leave them, and their mother. At the end I was heartened at the end of he story that the children grew up to have educations and have the ambition to work hard to achieve their dreams and goals. Also Andrea honored her mom by making a movie to tell this story, in hopes others would be helped through the film.

I think that the movie was trying to show how difficult it can be to be an immigrant. It also wanted to demonstrate the strength of will that Latin Americans possess.
