Greencard Warriors Movie Download In Hd
Set against the backdrop of Bush's War on Terror and Barack Obama's rise to presidency, the film follows the story of 14-year-old Angel, an undocumented Latino teen, who struggles to find his place in an increasingly violent world. With the promise of naturalization papers, the US Military presents Angel's family with the opportunity for a brighter future if they send his older brother into the US Army. With his eldest brother gone, Angel is left to the designs of a local street gang, and the family left to deal with the consequences of the choices they have made.
I was actually looking forward to seeing this movie. I was hoping it would be an honest attempt at describing the plight of some of the good immigrant families living here. The honest people who want to work and create a better life for their family. --- Unfortunately what I got was about 80% liberal left propaganda. This movie typifies the lies that are propagated and sent along to people as the truth. Right off in the beginning they have military recruiters going into the high school and pressuring underage Juniors to join the Army. Then they find that underage boy in the restroom and threaten him, saying "we know who you are and we know where you live, who you hang around with, we know everything about you and we can send you right back to El Salvador." Now that is just plain pure B.S. That is the kind of liberal left propaganda that is spread around these days to apparently make the illegal immigrants look like sympathetic victims. --- The problem with that is the movie didn't need to do that to accomplish that goal, most liberals already see them as sympathetic without attacking our military, police and adults. --- Then the father makes the underage kid join the Army and of course he dies in combat. Then of course they blame the military for all their woes. The younger brother joins the gang the dead brother belonged to, even though it's made clear he's a "nice" boy who isn't violent. --- Then the father wants to be closer to his surviving son and they go for a walk, but of course the terrible police stop them for no reason and abuse them for no reason other than walking. The boy runs, with an officer threatening to shoot and the father pushes the 2nd officer who falls against the car, hits his head and dies. --- Now dad is on the run and they have the police going door to door, knocking down the doors without warrants and searching the homes just because they can. They are also demanding everyone produce ID for no reason, stopping every person they see on the street and making them strip off their shirts and photo imaging their tattoos. ALL of this is just plain propaganda. Can you imagine the civil rights lawyers fighting to get in on the lawsuits generated from that activity??? --- And thru all this the boy shaves his head, goes back to the black girlfriend he has been forbidden to see and supposedly has innocent first time sex with her, made to look like young misunderstood Romeo with poor innocent Juliet. To me 2 14yr old kids having unprotected sex is anything but innocent and sweet. It's the reason we end up with barrios, but hey our leaders these days say its just good clean fun for little kids I guess. --- And on top of this, these people who say they want to be here now are saying "I don't want your god damned flag!" when its offered to them at their son's funeral. OH, and I forgot, the kid's girlfriend's father is a cop and hates Angel for no reason at all. The cop father is now pressuring the girlfriend too, to stay away from the kid, Angel. --- I haven't even finished watching the movie and I can see where this is going. And sure enough the girlfriend joins the gang to be with the boy, angel and she has to "pull a train" made up of the whole gang. And Angel doesn't know. Angel's father has to flee south because he killed a cop. Angel's girlfriend has moved out of state without telling him and Angel's mother opens a letter saying her son's service and death in the military is not enough for a green card. Angel is now a gang banger and his mom is now depressed and alone. The movie ends. The movie ENDS! This movie was poorly written, not extremely well acted and basically full of propaganda aimed at hating the American establishment that keeps immigrants from just doing anything they want, anything they apparently feel they are entitled to after listening to our president and the California Governor. --- I am sorry but I had to give that narrative to give an idea of how bad this movie is. Rather than telling the true story of the troubles immigrants face this movie is just a propaganda film about how we should all feel extra sympathetic towards illegal immigrants who flaunt our laws and insult the honest immigrants who obeyed our laws. I give it a sympathy vote of 3
. The title of this movie is misleading, since it is not about the soldiers but about those they left behind. "Greencard Warriors" refers to soldiers trying to get their green cards and, in some cases, green cards for their families.
Jesus is an undocumented immigrant from El Salvador. He is determined to achieve the American dream, but for now he seems to have several jobs that aren't very desirable but are all an illegal alien might be able to get. Though they don't listen, he wants his family to speak English because they're in America now. Jesus has a wife Rosa? and three children including a young girl. Angel is 14. Early in the movie, Benito ("Beto") joins a gang but says Angel can be a mascot but shouldn't join. The gang members care strongly about each other and it is understandable that a young person might want to join them, even if some of their activities are not quite legal. Jesus has a cousin who needs a place to stay.
At school, Beto watches a presentation by two soldiers who explain that illegal immigrants can get a green card and get their families legal status by joining the military. It is a risk because at the time, the U.S. was fighting in Iraq. President George W. Bush comes on TV later in the movie to praise the efforts of our men and women serving in Iraq. Beto wants no part of this, but the soldiers come to his house and inform the family that joining the military is a way to become legal, and if Beto doesn't, the family could be at risk.
Meanwhile, Angel goes to the local store where he meets Jasmine, who is black and really nice. They hit it off. Jazmine's father LB, a cop, doesn't want her hanging around with one of "them" (and the gang disapproves of her because "they" are the enemy) and he takes her home to her mom Gabrielle. Dre, Gabrielle's boyfriend Dre answers the door. Dad doesn't approve of Dre. Gabrielle has a successful business of some kind which apparently involves cooking. I say successful because she is later shown driving a Mercedes, even though she does live in the 'hood. She's not the type to deal drugs, though Dre might be.
Jesus finally persuades Beto to join the military.
The rest of the movie is not pleasant, but the writing and performances are worth seeing. Bad things happen, and not everyone gets a happy ending. In fact, few of the cast get anything close to a happy ending.
Manny Perez as Jesus delivers a passionate speech to the soldiers, complete with what appear to be all the major curse words, explaining his desire to be an American and why Beto shouldn't have been persuaded to serve.
This movie is respectful of Latino culture and portrays positive images when it can, but of course much of the movie is devoted to the negative. There are a lot of subtitles. Some words are blurred and the sound goes out a lot, whether the character is speaking Spanish or English. The F-word got missed by the censors once. No, this is not for kids. There is some violence but it's not really too bad. Much of it is, in fact, the initiation into the gang.
I wish the music had been better. Most of it is rap, and not Spanish rap either. Some music is Spanish language, and the music with the closing credits is quite good. Background music is often pleasant and Latin-flavored.
It's worth seeing. Just don't expect to be happy a lot of the time.
