Wassup Rockers
Larry Clark's 'Wassup Rockers' is about of salvadoreño and guatamalan kids from South Central LA, who end up going up to Beverly Hills for a day.
The first part of the film is very realist and revealing. I think it's probably a pretty accurate (tho stereotypical) picture of immigrant culture. The second half of the film, is the what would happen of if these immigrant kids ended up in a place like Beverly Hills. Clark does a great job of making you would if the poor immigrant kids aren't really cooler than all that money buys.
One highlight was the conversation the salvador boy has with the rich girl on her bed. Their conversation shows that really it's all the same.
Another nice touch was the boy was always asked where he was from. For the entire movie, he says that he's from the ghetto, until the end. As the boys arrive back in south central, some gangsta asks where he's from, and the latino answers, 'no where'... :D nice touch.
7/10
