Probably because back then they had nothing else to do with their free time and now with tech people are smarter and would rather watch videos, research or keep up with what is trending than go out and kill people because they drew a line through a name....
Its crazy how this movie got even made. Gang violence during the 90s was at its height. Olmos put his life on the line to shed light on these problems. Great man.
Danny tejo saved his life olmos had a a green light on him from the Mexican mafia and some people who worked on the movie so sad i hope olmos appreciates Danny for what he did
@@sammymobs3889 that's sad a man who saved his life doesn't even appreciated what he done for him if any other man saved my life best believe your going to be mi ijos padrino
I really feel lucky to be raised by parents that taught my brothers and I to look at everyone no matter what color they are the same. my mom had a brown and white egg then cracked it open to show us that we are all the same inside and it's wrong to judge.
Good movie but wish they made more movies about mexican american heroes during ww2 Vietnam and many more. They need to make a movie about Guy Gabaldon captured 1500 Japanese during ww2. The most in american history. Never got the medal of honor either
God pray you shed some light upon us and help my brother and sister to be more understanding and compassionate and love towards one another and for the youngsters show them that' this life is bs and the only outcome is death and prison for himself and his homeboys and even your family members I grew up like this and all I got to say is i regret it wasted my whole youth fighting over blocks that didn't even belong to us
@sourdeez because he said he didn't wanted to be in the eMe nomore the eMe don't play only way out is death if you think about it most of the former eMe members either hide or are in PC when they go to prison
ant banks now there more organized we run all the prisons there is in California and bring in drugs from all over Mexico into America . Now we don’t stand in the streets waiting to get killed now were LOwKEY the only time u will see us if ur getting robbed or beat or killed or dealing drugs u will mainly just see the taggings were still here
What's nuts, the neighborhoods that had the worst gang problems (Highland Park, Echo Park, Silver Lake) are completely gentrified. The old barrios have been taken over by trust fund babies, hipsters and annoying, pretentious "artists".
As youngster we has a stupid state of mind about dien for the gang or a brother because they showed us love. Man thank god I opened my eyes when I had my babies and I here today because of them.
MC blvd.. He has a lot of great songs that talk about gangs. He changed his life around and tries to change fellow gang members to do the same through his music. He talks about how that life style isn't worth it.. He's amazing!
That background music the guy is rapping to is called "Be Thankful" by William de Vaughn. I posted this 6 years ago. th-cam.com/video/KDTXljIqxRE/w-d-xo.html
that was one of the most beautiful rappin that i've ever heard, even the situation is stupid, that was so honest, so pure!! respect from a mexican barrio
I grew up in downtown LA ... LongBeach BLVD /Washington. I was 6-8 years old . I would see my uncles go out and get “ready”. my cousin (teen) got shot in his legs and my uncle incarcerated and shot in his throat. My moms sisters and brothers go out and survived but their cousins didn’t. .. . I was small but I remember what I saw, heard, and lived.
Let me know if you ever find it online,streaming.i can't order the movie,so i rely on Netflix and Hulu,TH-cam etc. Glad you liked it,haven't seen it in about a decade.
The US government is actually using the name of the continent to its citizens and country. We are US citizens and citizens of the United States. Everyone in North America Central America South America the Americas the American continent is an American like Asia are Asians Africa are Africans and Europe are Europeans. What happened first? The United States of America or the American continent? The United States of America became a nation on the date of July 4th of 1776 and the whole entire continent was already named America after Amerigo Vespucci in the year 1507 that's 269 years difference way before the United States of America became a nation.

Why are people not educated about America?
“If you wish to destroy an area, how do you do it? Well there are two ways: you can go in there and bomb it and so forth, but that is not very efficient. What you do is you try to get the people in that area to kill each other and to destroy their own territory, their own farms, and that’s what’s been done in that area. So, the way in which you destroy an opponent, is get him to destroy himself, by dividing his ranks against one another.”
ANA Lizarraga killed: , 13 May 1992 (aged 49) , was a technical adviser and had a small part in the Latino gang film "American Me," was shot execution-style last Wednesday in her driveway on Lancaster Avenue. Two men with stockings over their heads apparently waited for her to step outside her house and then fired several times at her from less than 10 feet away. (Taken from the article in May 1992).

I will never understand how people in gangs can kill each other for NO REASON. How can you want to live watching over your shoulder everyday in fear just to "protect your barrio." People like this are only passing down hate and suffering.
Growing up in gang infested neighborhoods becomes a matter of survival. It becomes a way of living you become a third breed that won't be understood. Some of us having both our parents good hard workers good morals dignity but never at home. had to fend for our selfs schools never helped.....you would have to live it to understand it
If its all you see its all you know. I remember leaving the hood to nice area for the first time and I thought I was at Disneyland but it was just over the hill in West Covina. We need to help these kids to see there is more to life, shit that there is a life that they can have.
That beat he flows to is tight. The music industry used gangster rap & movies to divide our people & conquer them by having them destroy each other with such vanities as gangs & claiming a block that isn't alive.poor souls :(
OSCAR BADILLO same! I grew up like this.. I’m 28 now .. you can take the Girl out the hood but you will never take hood outta the girl. Till this day, I still have a pair or Cortez, My Ben Davis jacket, my nice ironed up dickies and my long as belt with my initial on it ♥️

Bottom line is people create their own paths and choose to live a good life or a life of destruction! There is no easy way for the majority of us, you either make the choice to educate yourself and build a life, or choose to blame circumstance and what you don't or didn't have as an excuse for not doing the right things? Life is hard no matter how much you have or don't have and it's much more difficult to be part of the solution than it is being the problem? proving everyone wrong is one of the sweetest victories in life and sets an example for other family and friends...
Agreed, these idiots stand around in the street wasting time...starring at people who pass by....what a sad life....glad they kill each other...we dont need scum like that reproducing shit kids like them...
So true, i used to think all this bullshit where so cool watching these movies admiring their life. No i find it sad man. Wadting their life trying to defend a street corner, shooting themself, ur own people. Pathetic and sad man. How can people become so stupid and idiots. The politicians probably laugh their ass of when this kids shoot themself.
3:53 I think that’s the location where they filmed the scene in Blood In Blood out where Miklo is walking with Paco and they see a 3 puntos hit up on the wall and then Paco says “you think you’re a badass vato”.. that wall says Michigan and if you see in the scene it also says Michigan
"And then you feed both sides, you have agents feeding both sides - inflaming both sides, and they kill each other off.

ECONOMIC HITMAN
Im from the Bay and I love East LA. Its not even as bad as people or the media say it is. Im thinking of moving there. It has so much character and culture.
I think what a lot of these people, yourself included is that to say something like that is you're forgetting that you're not a minority. Mexico is a big country that takes many intellectual people to make up and be the strong nation it is. Don't limit yourself and act one way because the American media portrays you in such ways.
First of all, Olmos did not properly ask the permission of the gang bosses to make this movie, and have characters that were based on real life. He actually lied about getting the OK. Then he got way in over his head with creative liberties. Rodolfo Cadena (the real-life Santana) was not really raped in Juvie. It was also not true that he ended up being murdered by his own crew. The hit was carried out by rival Nuestra Familia. It was true however that at the time his significance in La Eme was diminishing. At any rate, people got murdered because of these, and Olmos had contract for years
@@garyhall6294 yea it did because it wasn't true and the fact homosexuality was a big part of the movie and in the real eme if you were raped in jail n even if u killed the person who did it u weren't allowed in and they told him take it out he didn't they killed one lady almost killed 2 others and put a hit on him
I love this movie. Life imitating art? I know this movie did more harm than good. It glorified the gangs and made hopeless chicanos follow negative stereotypes .
Off topic but it’s wild watching movies like this and blood in blood out at different stages of your life and relating to a different character each time
The gang negotiator was killed later on I watched a documentary on gangland years ago. It’s sad. I just remembered she was part of a gang too. I don’t remember why she was murdered
only the weak minded don't leave the past behind..and bring that problem with them ..change is easy to say but hard to do when your only used to living like this..I thank God I had the hart of change in me or I would be there too..you trap yourself in that form of living if you only have home boys.
@@charlesderosas5577 They both have their strengths (and weaknesses). American Me is more impactful to me probably because of nostalgia, due to seeing it long before I saw “Blood In, Blood Out.” One certainty is that JD’s character was way superior than Miklo’s. I don’t know if that was script purposes, or because William Forsythe is straight up a boss. LoL.
@@charlesderosas5577 It’s been a while since I’ve watched it, but what I do remember is thinking that American Me resonated and held more weight with me after watching it. Like I said, it’s probably just bias mainly due to nostalgia. Do you have a specific example as to why “American Me” is inferior to “Blood In, Blood Out”? A lot of people say it’s because it’s too sentimental at times, and there’s cringe moments. Do you agree with that? (But I’ll argue that you could say the same about “BI, BO” in that regard as well.)
@@kennybeans6115 well I heard "B.I.B.O" was superior than American Me. American Me had a lot of flaws and criticisms that got people killed who were involved in the movie. And tbh watching it now recently it doesn't really hold up. But certain scenes and performances were good.
You must be white or black or what are you it just like hillbillies have their own way of speaking Latinos have their own we don’t copy we have it in us perro
This is a movie of its own . I love my raza I pray the violence will end and chicanos can live in peace because Now more than Ever we need to stick Together no matter what gang u claim we are only here for a short time and then we will be standing before God being judged . We Chicanos got so many different talents but our Pride is what makes us Foolish. #nothingbutLove ✊

3:53 I think that’s the location where they filmed the scene in Blood In Blood out where Miklo is walking with Paco and they see a 3 puntos hit up on the wall and then Paco says “you think you’re a badass vato”.. that wall says Michigan and if you see in the scene it also says Michigan
Not the same
Thats the alley
"And then you feed both sides, you have agents feeding both sides - inflaming both sides, and they kill each other off. And it's time that some of us woke up to this reality, to understand that people who try to maintain empires and create empires. - Do it by manipulating the people they are trying to conquer."

Love how they made a truce & came together. Love it. The way it should be ✊🏾
Im from the Bay and I love East LA. Its not even as bad as people or the media say it is. Im thinking of moving there. It has so much character and culture.
Aww, how white of you. 🙋
Moral of the story is...,
Don’t ask about la eme!
Don’t talk about la eme!
And don’t make movies about la eme pinche cobran!
SMH 🤦♀️
them boys need Jesus, god will all ways help if we want him to, the choice for christ 💜
the majority of those people are dead for making this movie
Really?
yah its mafia shit, the people in prison gave the green light
JimmyJoker Why give a Green light on guys who made a Good movie like this?
405 BOY, they snitChin on the inner working of the mafias influence in the joint, and out on the streets just for a movie, and that's a no no.

MC BLVD- I Remember You Homie
I wonder how many of these people are alive and in prison Etc or how many made it out and are successful they should do an update video
Olmos really did try his best to do the right thing.... he couldn't control the political aspects of the streets.
I think what a lot of these people, yourself included is that to say something like that is you're forgetting that you're not a minority. Mexico is a big country that takes many intellectual people to make up and be the strong nation it is. Don't limit yourself and act one way because the American media portrays you in such ways.
My mom is from LA & she said when she was young that Hazard used to have some fine ass homies lmao.
Tonii.1208 just saw this, hope all is well 💯
Jian Xavier oh shit what up cuzzo how & the family been?
Thanks.
These Teens look so happy to be known and to have a part on something possitive in their comunity...too bad it was short lived...It was only a Movie.
opening scene~ i always wondered where "Dystopia", got that sample.
at the end~ damn, homie can freestyle
He might be blind but he’s still getting some...check that hickey on his neck lol
Its a bullet wound idiot
mrigoharder you’re the idiot
Trav Hat I’m no foo but ok
Entrance wound
Glad those days are gone.
Never knew this Doc existed
It's a special feature on the American Me DVD
I've seen someone die in front of me but not with my eyes. I seen it with my pinkie
The introduction from Olmos sounds like a scripted PSA.
Had to be from like the 80s or 90s I doubt it's that bad now.
Not as bad now but it's still fucking dangerous you still have to watch your back around there
First of all, Olmos did not properly ask the permission of the gang bosses to make this movie, and have characters that were based on real life. He actually lied about getting the OK. Then he got way in over his head with creative liberties. Rodolfo Cadena (the real-life Santana) was not really raped in Juvie. It was also not true that he ended up being murdered by his own crew. The hit was carried out by rival Nuestra Familia. It was true however that at the time his significance in La Eme was diminishing. At any rate, people got murdered because of these, and Olmos had contract for years
This movie was so depressing.
Especially when Santana's dad told him that awful truth at the cemetery. I was like daaamn who wouldn't be suicidal after that?
edward james olmos is the man !!!!!!!!!!
Yeah and he almost got killed for making this movie
Yeah he's badass!
MR_INSULT 619 did it have something to do with a homosexual scene?
@@garyhall6294 yea it did because it wasn't true and the fact homosexuality was a big part of the movie and in the real eme if you were raped in jail n even if u killed the person who did it u weren't allowed in and they told him take it out he didn't they killed one lady almost killed 2 others and put a hit on him
Danny tre saved his life
“ I remember you homie, I remember you homie” that’s was fucking funny 😆
Lol!!!
I love this movie. Life imitating art? I know this movie did more harm than good. It glorified the gangs and made hopeless chicanos follow negative stereotypes .
Off topic but it’s wild watching movies like this and blood in blood out at different stages of your life and relating to a different character each time
The gang negotiator was killed later on I watched a documentary on gangland years ago. It’s sad. I just remembered she was part of a gang too. I don’t remember why she was murdered
Yea I heard the same very sad
only the weak minded don't leave the past behind..and bring that problem with them ..change is easy to say but hard to do when your only used to living like this..I thank God I had the hart of change in me or I would be there too..you trap yourself in that form of living if you only have home boys.
God please shed some light on all of us and the show our youngsters this life is not worth it
What's the name of the OG rapping at the end? he got down!
Your control battery is low. Just heads up.
I need to get the guy at the end's mixtape.
I met Payaso in Oxnard back in 2003 said that he kinda regretted making this movie
Mateo Lopes why did he regret it?
I can relate to this movie. Am from primera Flats E.L.A. I grew up in the neighborhood. My home girls and home boys call me pinky.
can't believe i haven't seen this doco abt American Me before .Edward james olmos is da real OG.One of my all time fav Gstarr movies
Anybody else here after Nexflix finally decided to put it on?
I'd rather see blood in blood out.
@@charlesderosas5577
They both have their strengths (and weaknesses). American Me is more impactful to me probably because of nostalgia, due to seeing it long before I saw “Blood In, Blood Out.”
One certainty is that JD’s character was way superior than Miklo’s. I don’t know if that was script purposes, or because William Forsythe is straight up a boss. LoL.
@@kennybeans6115 without spoiling anything what was bad about blood in blood out?
@@charlesderosas5577
It’s been a while since I’ve watched it, but what I do remember is thinking that American Me resonated and held more weight with me after watching it. Like I said, it’s probably just bias mainly due to nostalgia.
Do you have a specific example as to why “American Me” is inferior to “Blood In, Blood Out”? A lot of people say it’s because it’s too sentimental at times, and there’s cringe moments. Do you agree with that? (But I’ll argue that you could say the same about “BI, BO” in that regard as well.)
@@kennybeans6115 well I heard "B.I.B.O" was superior than American Me. American Me had a lot of flaws and criticisms that got people killed who were involved in the movie. And tbh watching it now recently it doesn't really hold up. But certain scenes and performances were good.
He wasnt Escared of nothing , Dang this dude really has a NOPAL on his head
SI SE PUEDE WAY haha daaaaaaaaammmmmm diggin the nopal reference
Groovy
SI SE PUEDE WAY it's very obvious you're not mexican
Did you like American me more than blood in blood out, I think American mean is better, I was just wondering what everybody else thought
ladonna villalobos American me
i think American me was more realistic. both entertainment. b in b out is a family favorite among my brothers. with the characters etc.
ladonna villalobos Bound by Honor was better.
ladonna villalobos both including blvd nights. 👍
I like both

7:26 girl in flannel rockin that Snarff look...
wow I still never knew Edward James olmos not only acted in the movie but also directed it
I seen it happen, you know, with my eyes.
-Homie at the end.
🤣
I wonder if some of these og ‘s are still alive
Dead or in prison where they belong
I wonder, have any of these gang members that stared in the movie, been blessed with a career in the movie business from the opportunity?
Viva la raza mexica de corazón 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽

This is a movie of its own . I love my raza I pray the violence will end and chicanos can live in peace because Now more than Ever we need to stick Together no matter what gang u claim we are only here for a short time and then we will be standing before God being judged . We Chicanos got so many different talents but our Pride is what makes us Foolish. #nothingbutLove ✊
