Under the Same Moon (La Misma Luna)

Release: March 19, 2008
Directed by: Patricia Riggen
Written by: Ligiah Villalobos
Produced by: Patricia Riggen, Ligiah Villalobos, Gerardo Barrera, Norman Dreyfuss and Ram Bergman
Cast: America Ferrera, Adrian Alonso, Jesse Garcia, Kate del Castillo, Eugenio Derbez, Maya Zapata and Carmen Salinas

UNDER THE SAME MOON (LA MISMA LUNA) tells the parallel stories of nine-year-old Carlitos and his mother, Rosario. In the hopes of providing a better life for her son, Rosario works illegally in the U.S. while her mother cares for Carlitos back in Mexico. Unexpected circumstances drive both Rosario and Carlitos to embark on their own journeys in a desperate attempt to reunite. Along the way, mother and son face challenges and obstacles but never lose hope that they will one day be together again. Riggen's film is not only a heartwarming family story; she also offers subtle commentary on the much-debated issue of illegal immigration.

"mediterraneanization" and "parallelogrammatical" Under the Same Moon consistently manages to alienate its audience.

Hi, This is an excellent

Hi,

This is an excellent movie that depicts what our people go trough day by day.
This is definitely a family movie and whoever watches this movie will be motivated.
MY Hats OFF to the Writer/Director and of course the actors that were spectacular and did an Awesome Job.

SI SE PUEDE. ARRIBA LOS HISPANOS!!

simplemente es la realidad

simplemente es la realidad de miles o tal vez millones de personas, ahora solo espero que Dios nos ayude a que sea elegido un presidente sensible, honesto y comprometido con su Pais, pues la mayoria solo queremos vivir con dignidad e integrarnos a este gran Pais, de la pelicula me parecio bastante buena y con un final muy pero muy conmovedor y feliz.

WoW...

Does anyone know the singer

Does anyone know the singer or the song playing when Paco and Rosario (Kate) are dancing. Boy do I wish I could meet a guy like Paco, he is hot. What is "Paco's" real name. I am a very blonde mexican (full blood) nice to see all different colors of mexicans in real life situations. If you ever get to live in Jalisco you will see how truly diverse hispanics are. I want to buy the movie and the music. Will Wal-Mart have it?
?Y Paco, Quien es? !Que guapo, el es maravilloso! ?Hay otra peliculas con el?
?Alguien sabe como se llama el cantate o la cancion que sale cuando Paco y Rosario esta bailando? Creo que la cancion es un exito desde 2006. Disculpa. No recuerdo completo y mi espanol es peor que todo el mundo. Estoy cantando las palabras asi:
Sera paca yo encontrar una voz a ter nuda
y me llena de placer a doy voy hablar Ella me va morir y nunca conoci sueno en tu quiere
en tus brazos quiero dormir. Escucha cada dia
la radio seguro que la vuelo ir. En cielo descubirmi estrella la luna quiere suvir. Voy desde lado por estas calles esperando...
en encontrar voz de angel quiero amar de andara voy desde lado y su amor mi deseo
no me deja me pongo a llorar me segurie.

Me encanta la pelicula La misma Luna. Quiero comprar la pelicula y la musica.

la cancion se llama

la cancion se llama DESVELADOS y la canta BOBBY PULIDO... que buena peli...

hi! the song is called

hi! the song is called "Desvelado" by Bobby Pulido. It does sound like desde lado though, thats what i thought he said at first. LOL! I'm not so good at spanish either but I can manage when I'm MX. I'd to know more about Jalisco if you'd like to share. My dads from San Luis Potosi.

For Mr. Logic and anyone

For Mr. Logic and anyone else who doesn't understand the forces of global migration,
Lincoln's address to the Lyceum not withstanding, you fail to grapple with the fact that legislation has never been capable of governing morality... as long as U.S. capitalism depends on cheap labor to maximize the rate of return, there will be "illegal" immigrants as a class in this country. How legal is it to pay substandard wages? Slumlord, is that ethical? These are ethical, not legal questions...

"Illegal Immigrant" labor is the only thing better than slavery... Well, prison labor is pretty good, but it's hard to get prisoner's out to pick lettuce and slaughter poultry and such... so, "illegal" labor works out pretty good. The owner class in the U.S. depends on a supply of cheap labor without recourse to collective bargaining, and sufficiently desperate to work for low wages, as the threat of deportation looms.

The illegality of such labor has everything to do with their important place at the bottom of the chain of exploitation. So, all workers in the U.S., and the world for that matter, should support the unconditional rights of all human beings to traverse national borders in search of better conditions of existence... Otherwise, we are all dragged down with the "illegals," as wages drop, and working conditions worsen, and none of us can complain, as there is always a pool of surplus labor waiting to take our jobs for less pay, because things are even worse back in central Mexico, or India, or Singapore, or whatever other impoverished police state they escaped from... In short, I'd like to invite you to pull the "legality/illegality" blinders off your head, and think outside the socially constructed box of your existence... National borders benefit elites, labor law benefits elites, the entire system has been designed to maintain the benefits of elites... Who would pick fruit, do construction, wash dishes, clean houses, take care of middle class white kids - at a price that makes middle-class life possible? Who? Only the underclass of immigrants and the working poor in the U.S. ... This movie will do much to spread the truth about these structural conditions... We are all under the same moon, a capitalist moon that grows ever darker as globalization continues its march across the globe... No WTO! Fair Trade Now! Workers of the World Unite against the ignorance of people like the guy who keeps posting again and again with nothing more to say than "they're illegal," "they're breaking the law"... well, guess what Exxon and Shell are doing around the world? What is the U.S. government doing in Iraq? What have U.S. corporations done in Latin America, with the aide of the U.S. military, for over a century? They have broken the law, and they have broken lives, and broken the dreams of 3/4 of the world's population, who want nothing more than to live a decent life... and were our racist, xenophobic, narrow-minded friends in the U.S. to trade places, for a single day, with any of the denizens of the 2/3 world, they would be swimming across the Rio Bravo, or hiding in cars to get back to San Diego... The United States is illegal, stolen from the Natives, built on slavery... OK? Get over it... your racist laws mean nothing... Fight the Power... Ningún Ser Humano es Ilegal... No one is illegal... One world, one love... redistribution of wealth, now!
