Under the Same Moon Review
I am a K-8 Spanish teacher near Detroit, and one of my students recommended this movie to me last year. After viewing it I immediately bought it and have used it in many of my classes since. It is a great jumping off point for discussions about immigration and about Spanish-speaking culture in the United States, in addition to being a suspenseful and emotional story. Regardless of what your stance is on illegal immigration, you will probably find something to connect to in this film - views of life in Mexico, Carlitos' reunion with his deadbeat dad, the grouch-turned-hero Enrique, the relationship between Carlitos and his mother. I'm always pleased when even the grouchiest of my students beg to finish the movie at the end of the hour.
I show this to my middle school students and even to my 5th graders, with a permission slip since the movie is PG-13 - for some language and "serious thematic elements."
My only complaints are probably only classroom concerns:
--No Scene Selection Menu:
Although this is a fairly recent film, there is no "scene selection" where you can go to a specific scene in the movie. This was irritating in the classroom where we had to start the movie and then skip ahead to the correct scene.
--Subtitles:
There are subtitles available in English and Spanish, which I always put on in English since over half the film is entirely in Spanish. However, the subtitles closed-caption style, which include things like "dishes rattling" and so on. There is also a small amount of profanity (in Spanish.) I wish there was a "teacher subtitle" option that just didn't translate those particular vocabulary words!
