Under the Same Moon... And Crash

As many of you know, I am hispanic. I was born in Mexico and all of my famil is from there. There is a movie that I would like all of you to see. "Under the same Moon" is the story of an immigrant mother and her child. I know that it is hard for some people to understand immigration and why people do the things that they do. But there is better life in America and I am so glad that I am able to live here now. My parents have given me the opportunities I would have never had in Mexico. This is a new movie that probably won't show in St. George because it is a smaller film. It actually showed in Sundance and was brought for the highest amount of money. I hope that you can go see it when it comes out on DVD. I know it will be great.. it will be touching. And hopefully you can learn something from it and my people. Whom i love. Watch the Trailer

There is another beautiful movie that I saw that touched my heart. "Crash" I know it is a strong movie.. it has a strong message, but it is a message that some people have to see this way to understand and learn. I saw this movie with Jared and I'm so glad that I did. I cried so much to realize that life is like this, he cried too but at the same time we learned. I highly recommend this movie. And the touching song that goes with it... is the first song on my blog, "In the Deep"...
Here is the link to the movie trailer:
