Hey Milkweed!

Had to do it, El Norte reminded me too much of Blood in Blood Out. I loved that movie. While graphic in many of the scenes and to some people I bet they would say that it was too long, I loved it. Clocking in at 180 minutes I thought it was just long enough. Great acting throughout and very powerful messages about the imoprtance of pride, honor and family. Anyone else out there ever heard of this?
