^ make Frisco bad by basing it on actual facts? Wake up there are gays in Frisco and everywhere....but besides the gay shit it was a solid movie and it had top notch production value, no low budget shit. Really repped the city and Mission right with authentic music, location, and actors who are really from here
Thanks man, I wanted to check this movie out to see some authentic Nor cal chicano shit but it's just some gay preacy shit with a chicano veneer, fuck that. It seems like people just wanna force homosexuality on minorities especially on latinos and blacks...in that movie quincinera half of the movie is about her brother being some homosexual mexican gangbanger who has to hide his shit. Ok fuckers, we get the gay shit.
i think it was a good movie. just saw it on Saturday. I mean they chose to make the main plot a father son story about the father not accepting that his son is gay.
I think there's a lot of others stories about the Mission that could be told. I don't think the Bratts could make a grimier movie about the Mission because of lack of insight. So they did what they could. The Mission is grimey(violent) and there's a lot more about the hood that has never been shown to the world.
But overall it was good.

I'm bout to check it out tomorrow. Peter Bratt was at my school talking about the movie. It looks pretty good for only being a 2 mil budget and actually shooting in San Francisco. Benjamin Bratt's character is based on an actual dude from the mission and the gay son part is based on his cousin and how his uncle reacted to finding out he was gay. If you get past the gay part, it seems really to just be about two clashing cultures living right next to each other (the mission and castro) and the drama that comes from it. Sounds like some real san fran shit to me.
