La Bamba (1987)

I totally agree with Anonymous 10 April 99.

I saw this movie for the first time today, I was born in the fifties, but this does not matter. We all know Ritchie is going to die in an air crash, but from second one we are confronted with planes flying over the school yard.

I was told this is a pretty accurate biography but I truly can't believe it. It's like a bible story, the good and the bad son.

Ritchie could not have been that good and his brother couldn't have been that bad.

What I miss in this film, and I'm sure that was true, that the family hung together. Too much melodrama, sorry no tears, and I even weep when the Wheel Of Fortune does not strike right.
