El Norte - Parte I

[ruben00750]

gracias por subir a you tube esta pelicula, yo la vi hace 15 años y la considero una verdadera obra de arte, como dato curioso el actor que hace el papel de enrrique, en mexico es conocido como comediante y no como actor.

[MyLifeAsZoe]

*watched

[MyLifeAsZoe]

i think every spanish class has watch this movie, i know mine did.

[tprgentil91]

Hace un chico rato, mi clase de ingles y yo acabamos de ver esta peli y pues la verdad que le doy muchas gracias a Dios de haber nacido en Estados Unidos porque la verdad que a como se sufre para llegar a este pais aveces! Lo digo porque he visto a muchas personas que llegan a este pais y tienen que trabajar muy duro para tener al menos el estandar basico de vida aqui :/

[MrPau18]

veo muchos actores mexicanos en esta movie ****no more civil wars in central america !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[markuskevin]

Guatemala Nunca Mas... thanks for this video... i'm from Guatemala and what happened is a part of our history :D

[Keletho]

Dumbass beaners.

[KABLE999]

@Keletho

fuck you white wetback!

[wbprods]

@KABLE999 Dear friend, I believe that economicaly, many parts of your large country depends on what you call "wetback". Florida, Texas, Arizona...and so on. Many american kids from those regions would not have parents that could be able to send them to school without the input of "wetback". It's like an ecosystem (do you know this word?), where everyone need each other to survive. Have great life.

[KABLE999]

@wbprods

im an apache...and all indigenous people can survive without you white demons...we did it before, we still do it now and we will do it again! and im talking for my brothers and sisters of this continent.....i dont need you to survive... we tried that and we almost became extinct fucktard!

[wbprods]

@KABLE999 Thanks for your response. I do know that you have been kicked out of you own lands by the white invasion, the same invader that did not understood you. No, i cannot understand your pain, but younger generations are openning their eyes little by little and removing the lies thaught to them by their own people.The pain and suffering your people have experienced won't diseaper overnight. Cape Diem.

[KABLE999]

@wbprods

and i want to make something clear! when i say wetback...i mean the white man period! i am not talking about my brothers and sisters of mexico..or the nations in canada! mexicans are healing from the invasion as well and we will all survive without the help of the white man!

[Biffcutwtright]

I leave for Guatemala tommorow evening, it'll be my first time ever outside of the developed and anglophone worlds, this film touched me the first time I saw it so I've decided to watch it again before I depart. Great film

[armandolarch]

I went to the movies to see this I was but a kid, so glad to find it here.

[hoseb87]

what langauge do they speak?

[IM18AC]

That's an indigenous dialect. The indigenous people don't all understand each other cuz there's many different dialects. But Guatemala's main language is Spanish like every Latin American country. Latin American Spanish is called a Spanish dialect since it's not exactly like the Spaniards anymore. In fact, all of the countries have different accents and use some different words in their Spanish. Everywhere in Mexico Central America and South America there are indigenous and mostly Latinos.

@hoseb87 k'iche' maya

[MrCharliethegoldfish]

this is great thanks for uploading it

[pperez2006]

POSIBLEMENTE, en el transcurso de la película también se mirara reflejada la vida del pueblo de mexico, en la cual a la actualidad vive duramente castigado por el gobierno de felipe calderón aunque a muchos no les guste pero es la realidad, la gente esta desertando a otros lugares, tanto como la economía se esta acabando, y la ola masiva de violencia por parte de el mismo gobierno. la película esta excelente.

[RottenPeachState706]

good ass movie mane from the perspective of central america and what they face in terms of discrimination just for a chance at a better life here in the states

[Ducati559]

Great Movie!

[Bioluv193]

thank you for uploading. I already watched it once and now I have to watch it again for my spanish class.

[Ducati559]

@Bioluv193 I watched it for Spanish TOO!

[changyimei]

Great movie, very sad but helps me while learning Espanol :) gracias por postero

[Tejano44]

This awesome movie shows how humans without power are treated worldwide !

[SweetArizonaNative]

I really liked this movie, it was so good.....Thank you for posting it.

[Maurecia01]

@REDRAGGINVATO14

IT WAS good! We were watching it cuz we were learning about immigration

[Maurecia01]

You watched it in your Spanish class...

I WATCHED IT IN MY ENGLISH CLASS :)

[CarlyxCrash]

powerful film 

[karilaguera]

just curious why when hes calling her comadrita the subtitles say Lupe? lol did anyone else notice that?

[Tejano44]

@karilaguera , Yes , but her given name is Lupe but comadrita is a godmother to her daughter .

[deLasChivas]

just saw this movie, great movie and i hope americans can look at this and realize what kind people they are trying to keep out.

[chuyuy10]

my spanish class is watching it too but only on fridays and i have football games on fridays..all i gotta say thank god for football this movie is boring

[Graffitti74]

@chuyuy10 You're right. It's much more exciting to wear tights, "grab and tackle" other guys and slap each others ass after a good play than watch a movie.

[chuyuy10]

@Graffitti74...really? im just sayin the movie is boring nd u had insult a great game..coming from someone with graffitti in their name,u should get into sports instead of vandalizing others' property

[Ghost501090]

I like how in school they have good movies, I mean when the teacher tells us that were gonna watch a movie that we never heard of (like this one) the entire class think is gonna suck, but after a couple of moments its really interesting and good and when the teacher stops it, the entire class quickly reacts and say oh come on, don't stop it now, I wanna know what happens.

[johneverready]

I heard many things about this movie. Pretty cool movie so far. My wife is Guatemalan and they dont speak that way. hmmmm. Interesting. Its rather different accent than the rest of Central America.

[hoopscoach95]

¡Mil gracias! I show this video every year to my Spanish I class. Since the immigration issue has heated up in the United States, this movie has become more topical. I wish anyone who was against amnesty could see this movie to find out what so many people endure to come to a land of plenty.

[CAMM55]

Wow.. The Accent is pretty good.... they didn't forgot details such as the Chompipes and the Cerveza Gallo... LOL Just like my home country...

My history teacher told about this movie..... Pretty cool thanks for posting this movie...

[joanlitman]

This movie should be required viewing for every voter in Arizona.

[Guatemalasociety]

Nava had to film much of this movie in Mexico because Guatemala was still ruled by the same CIA-orchestrated military dictatorship that led Arturo Xuncax and his family to their deaths and that left Enrique broken and disillusioned in the end. The border is officially "militarized" now, and the journey remains as awful and degrading as a long crawl through a rat-filled tunnel to life that may be no greater than the one they left.

[REXFERAL59]

@Guatemalasociety tell the whole story: Fidel Castro was trying to export revolution to latin america so to preserve democracy and keep out communism we backed whoever was anti communist, the left likes to conveniently forget the numerous violent communist insurgencies in latin america

[kiailol]

@REXFERAL59

Remember kids: if in doubt, support Fascists! It's the American way! He may be a son of bitch but goddamn it hes OUR son of a bitch! I don't care who you have to kill or torture, just don't let no godamned faggoty pinko communist in office no matter how the people vote! They're just brown skinners anyways, not like they matter!

[keolide]

thank you so much for posting this film. i can't begin to explain how important this film is to my culture. especially now. having it available like this for the world to see will make differences.. and educate.. where it is so importantly needed. this is the strongest, most effective method of understanding illegal immigration ever. my sincere thanks for your time to post this.

[692ALBANNACH]

a fucking powerful piece of cinema sorry for my profanity

[hackymemo]

ESTA PARTE QUE DICEN QUE ES GUATEMALA NO LO ES , ES CHIAPAS EN UN LUGAR LLAMADO HUIXTAN A 30 MINUTOS DE SAN CRISTOBAL DE LAS CASAS, ME ENORGULLECE VERLA POR QUE MIS ABUELOS VIVEN ACTUALMENTE AHI, LA CASA DEL POLICIA ES LA CASA DE MIS ABUELOS, ES MUY EMOTIVO VERLO SALUDOS Y GRACIAS POR ESTE GRAN APORTE..hACKY

[AllErikaEclectica]

Thank you for posting Gregory Nava's "El Norte".

[FrnzFanon]

The wealth and power of the American Empire, the West, is predicated upon the brutal conquest, genocide, enslavement of inummerable peoples to this day. Wtached this film twenty years ago and little has changed, in fact its got worse

[imin5thgrade]

[chuchu7s]

I saw this movie long time ago on channel 9. I am glad to see that it is on YouTube. Thanks for posting the whole movie. Do you know where I can buy or order on line this movie in a DVD. I would love to have this movie to share with family and friends. After seeing this movie It makes you feel so greatful that you live in America The Land of the free. It is so sad when his sister dies of the rats and how their adventure sometimes happy and sad. I hope to see all chapters El Norte

[Piercedpixie56]

[eLoveCR7]

ii is too sad that people dont really realize that this and more is what our people go through to get to the us!

too sad! this movie shall be shown at universities all over and high schools.

[CELIBERICO]

How sad. Very very sad. The injustices shall come to light just like Jesus the Christ said.........all in time............in the end..................these poor ones are in God's heart. God bless all those who suffer from such cruelty and being take "advantage of" .......how sad but great Hope !

[furrywiz]

quite the tool...

[shadowwolf337]

I LOVE this movie!! What a CLASSIC!

[percydanvers2]

I love the music of this movie. Great movie in general.

[Ponce417]

Awesome movie. Tremenda pelicula. Tambien muy triste. Que lastima que nosotros los hispanos tenemos riquesas de recursos naturales y absoluta bellesa natural y venimos aqui a aguantar mucho para ganar muy poco. Y ensima de eso hay muchos "Americanos" que nos veen tan solo como recursos humanos para utilizar cuando les conbiene.

[fernandoiscrazy]

Just watched the Criterion Collection Blu-Ray for the first time today. Excellent cinematography, sometimes surreal with the dream sequences, and severed head. It just goes to show that people who strive for money don't really get true freedom. Enrique and Rosa risked being killed in Guatemala, they saw too much poverty in Mexico, now in San Diego/Los Angeles they finally find jobs as waiters/cleaning lady but are they really free? They wanted the typical "American Dream"..................

[Dog08]

I LOVE this movie

thanx!!....

[x4caldwellnortenox4]

Norte!

[APviKINGsz28]

Thanks for posting!

[bull9stud]

[misa806]

Shit I saw this movie in the theater as a shorty With my family.A classic.Thanks for the down load.Had on VHS but got lost.

[altitudeFlies]

I LOVE this movie! It really brings a new light to what people in that situation have to go through.

[rechrules]

thanks for posting this!

[bryanzbabygirl]

i really enjoy this movie. thanks!

[mayaeulense]

i have been looking for this on youtube...thanx for the uploads

[bouncertone]

i remember our teacher showing us this in junior high shit is classic.the shit people endure to make a life for themselves who cant relate.

[montichanchulo]

i think in some ways history has moved on and El Norte is a historical piece about the oppression and human rights abuses in Central America. The border of the early 1980s is different from now. Also, Guatemala and many Latin American countries are different now.

[xMrEmo13x]

Yes I agree with yu on that, Guatemala along with ,many other latin American countries have changed. In Fact its so different that now or days Mexico is newly industrialized and Guatemala is a flawed democracy, meaning it scored higher then most regime and half of all thrid world countries together put together, its one really different now and also human rights have inproved greatly.

[inlight4evr]

I really appreciate you putting this movie for all to see what the illegals suffer. I feel for them.

[LVMYHOOD408]

Damn...homie props for putting up this movie....saludos to my family in San Jose Cali.....Salinas Ca...Hollister Ca, Santa Ana Ca.....

[laintrusssa]

[ILustFor84]

[MamiYare]

[spacemambu5]

THANK YOU SO MUCH

[montichanchulo]

You are welcome.

[hanitama]

Thank you so much for uploading this video, my precious person recommended it to me. Now I live safely in some place... I could know what he wanted to tell me.

[montichanchulo]

Your comment is cryptic...

[rbenns2]

This is a highly acclaimed film that, nontheless, is still completely unavailable on DVD (or even VHS).

[montichan]

It is out there. I think it isn't being made any more but it is out there on DVD if you can find a copy with someone.

[JasoniumGH]

It is available, maybe there is a recall on the discs. (it skips in the same spot on all of them)

[director23j]

The Criterion Collection just added this film to their DVD series. It's out now.

[chepenudo]

I rented it from Netflix

[bostown03]

Esta pelicula me trae muchos recuerdos e inclusive despierta sentimientos de mi bella Guatemala. Dios bendiga a todos aquellos que cruzan la frontera en busca de oportunidades y mejor vida para ellos y sus familias.

This movie brings back such memories and awakens sentiments of Guatemala. May God bless all those crossing the border in search of a better life for themselves and those left behind.

THANK YOU FOR UPLOADING THIS MOVIE! I'VE BEEN SEARCHING FOREVER!!!!!!

[xgirlfiendx]

My God...wow I've been looking for this for EVER...I remember having to watch it in my Spanish class last year. It really changed how I saw immigration at large. such a powerful film. 10/10

[sfsf10]

Thank you so much for uploading this video!

I started watching it in my Spanish Lit class and we never finished it. I was surprised to find it here!

It's so sad that people can't just be themselves in society - that they have to conform to height standards, weight standards, race standards to be recognized as "people." Segregation in the U.S, ethnic clensing in all parts of the world...Why can't people just RESPECT each other?
