La Mission is mas firme! by ChixwithStixandFlix
Okay, so I'm not Latina BUT I did grow up in La Mission during the mid-80's and attended Mission High School. This movie was truly a powerful picture. I got a little choked up seeing my old stomping grounds, alma mater, and familiar businesses (La Palma..the BEST nacatamales out there). Ben Bratt was amazing in this film, and his character unflinching. The storyline is current, raw, and touching. I love seeing all the lowriders and the casting PERFECT as each character seemed very real. Che's homies in the movie seem like homies I would have hung with back in the day. Excellent choice of music in the movie, and it is a movie that simply stays with you long after it's over. FINALLY, a real movie about The Mission district which captures the beauty, culture, essence of a unique section of SF. If you would've told me back in my cholita days (ahem, okso I was a wannabe) that a movie would be made in 20 years where lowriders are running on vegetable oil I would have said "Chale!", eh!

"La Mission" a look into the world of Gay & ******* Youth by 1supermariobro
First I want to thank the screenwriters for a dead-on portrayal that LGBT youth experience. No one wants to disappoint their parents at any time. This story line transcends cultural and ethnic lines as youth and parent contend with their conflicts and to some extent resolutions. How do we deal with this issue of homosexuality in and out of the family unit. It (the issue of homosexuality) is almost always an issue of family violence, mistrust, and banishment. I wish that parents view this film as a learning tool, and learn to love their children without condition.

A story of acceptance, compassion, and a father's love by 415Sfgirl
Imagine you find out your best friend, your son is gay. Then imagine that you are a bad *** old school homeboy. This is a beautiful story about a man who loves his son but has to come to grips with who his son really is. Not only is the story one that crosses across cultures but it is a beautiful story of a father's love for his son, his community, and his homeboys
In addition San Francisco, considered one of the most beautiful cities in the world, is even more beautiful on film. Areas of San Francisco other films have not filmed are vibrant and a live in this film
I have a lot of gay friends whose families do not accept them and they are not latino. This is a must see movie for anyone who knows someone that has been rejected because of their sexuality.
The Mission has never looked more beautiful and Ben Bratt has never had a better performance.
LOVE LOVE LOVE this movie. Oh and the soundtrack,,,,,,off the hook!!!
