It’s not correct to say this is how life was. Even as it told a side of society most movies avoided it is still very stylized. It’s more of how people of the day saw their daily lives with much of the violence watered down and particularly the policeman in authority giving hope. When I’m reality the police would’ve crushed that hope
We lived in Monterey Park by East Los Angels College so we could still be close to the Mexican markets. It is so true that Mexican fathers don't like to be called Pop. We loved this movie cuz our father was an ex boxer who retired 31-0. Art Aragon had nothing but praise for dad.
I used to box some and ive seen plenty of boxing movies, so far im at his second fight and of all the fight movies this has the most authentic boxing, , its not sensational where a guy gets hit with 50 haymakers and doesn't get knocked out, its extremely easy to knock out a person.
I grew up in the Los Angeles portrayed in this movie so it was somewhat painful for me to watch because it was reality for me. I grew up around Latino adults who were always bitter and angry because of the nowhere jobs they were stuck with. But like the boxer, Tommy, my mentors were all old white guys from the bus driver who waited for me when I was running late to the coaches and school teachers who believed I had potential. However, unlike Tommy my path to upward mobility was the US Army. I started off as a private and retired as an infantry officer. I thrived because those old white guys made me feel that I was a man no different nor better than anyone else and gave me the confidence to succeed as a Latino in a white society. In other words, while my Dad grew up seeing himself as a Mexican-American, I grew up seeing myself as a man. Oh, how so much has changed in 50 years.
Facts I grew up in el sereno just about 10 minutes from city terrace and my dad used to work 10-12 hour days just to make enough for rent and also food, I’m pretty thankful for the life I had it was hard since my dad was an alcoholic and sometimes it was rough but moving to NYC made me realize that how not everyone is fortunate enough
I thought it was a good movie, very straight forward and these stories remind me of my father and similar things he went through back in the day. You live and you learn and you shrug off ignorance and keep moving.....😎👍
Today, he would own the company for being told hes too old. As it should be. Older workers are an asset. They should have given him a job training new employees. Use that knowledge to make the company better.
Arriba, hombre! Knock 'em all out, amigo! Now if they only made a movie about a luchador named Nacho Libre all would be well in the world. Vamos muchachos! 🥳
When the boys pull into the diner parking lot, James Dean is the extra wearing the glasses. This is 1952 so he was a few years away from his monstrous fame.

A great Film...........Well done............Timeless..............Some things never change...............Racism today is much worse than back then..............I loved this Film...............................Patrick.
I never liked boxing movies. The story lines are made for people who have never boxed and don’t know the struggles of being a fighter. This movie and Cinderella man really does show how it is being a boxer

The USA is much stronger because of the multitude of different religions, cultures, and languages. Yes, there are many racists in this country such as DeSantis and Abbott and their supporters. But racism and discrimination are much less than it was in the '50s. I know that because I saw it then. It has been said that 'A person with two languages has two souls.' Let's celebrate the diversity in our country.
"many racists in this country such as DeSantis" -- What the hell are you talking about? It bothers you that there is little crime in Florida? Stay in Los Angeles or San Francisco and live in that filth. Don't worry, whites are leaving your little paradise, soon you will have it all to yourself. I wonder who will pay the $800 billion in "reparations" California is about to pass.
The only thing I enjoyed was seeing images of what the neighborhood once was and of course the fresh faces of unknown actors. The dialogue was lame and condescending. As if we’re a naive people who speak so stupidly. That’s how ignorance is perpetuated.😑

What a great movie and to actual see how life was like in parts of East Los Angeles back in the early 1950’s.

The policeman was a stand up guy ✅
Came across this movie recently and watching it now. I'm sure there were other good movies of that era that were so underrated.
The police had his back, i didn't expect that, nice change in the movie, nice clean, movie.
Especially for back then. It definitely would’ve raise some eyebrows for it I bet
I see how the fear of failure can be passed down through generations. I hope lots of people understand that part and don't commit the same mistake.
Great movie. I never knew about this movie before i saw a clip of it on instagram

It was "pachuco". Search for it. Search for "zoot suit" as well. You'll be surprised. Referenced in movies (American me, The Mask, and some other.)
It was a term for Mexican Americans in the 1940s and 1950s. Used primarily in southern California
