La Misma Luna


 Imagine that you are a movie critic for the New York Times and you have been asked to review "La Misma Luna" for the Entertainment page.
Write a paragraph of at least 100 words containing a brief summary of the movie, a discussion of its major themes, your personal evaluation and whether you reccommend that others see it.


“La Misma Luna” is a movie about a little boy named Carlitos that crosses the border. He goes on a long trip to Los Angeles searching for his mom, Rosario, who he hasn’t seen in 4 years. His grandma was taking care of him in Mexico, but she died one day, so he started his journey to America. On his journey, he meets many people including his long-lost dad and Enrique, the guy that stayed with Carlitos throughout the trip to Los Angeles. Enrique even sacrifices his own life in America just so Carlitos can still search for his mom. In “La Misma Luna”, the three biggest themes are determination because Carlitos is determined to go to Los Angeles to find his mom, friendship because only a true friend like Enrique would sacrifice himself living in America just for a kid, and courage because it takes a lot of guts to crossing the border and searching for someone when they are an adult, let alone a kid. I believe that this is a great movie with a realistic story.I recommend this movie to everyone because it shows how big of a contrast there is in different people’s lives.
