What is a great movie? To me a great movie is when it’s full of suspense or is inspiring . A great movie to me is El Norte . El Norte is a movie about a brother and sister from Guatemala who leave home in search of a better life . Little did they know it was not like in magazines.

        Enrique is one of the main characters and the one who decides to leave guatemala in search of a better life. Rosa is another main character who decided to go with her brother because she didn’t want to stay and be killed.

        Enrique and Rosas story is tragic, they leave guatemala after their whole family is killed. It started when their father tried to escape with other workers after being worked like slaves . He couldn’t escape because someone snitched that they were leaving, they were all found and killed. Enrique and rosa didn’t have any other choice than to leave if not they would be killed also. There journey to United States is not easy. When they finally get there it wasn’t like in the magazines , with a big house , good furniture , and a lot of money. They realized that life wasn’t easy in the US and that they are only a “pair of arms”.

      I recommend you to watch El Norte because it’s a very sad and inspiring at the same time. It’s sad because their family is killed and eventually one of the two also die. I recommend it to people who love sad movies.
