And what I find kind of compelling about it is.
podcast-host
You know, I think it's sort of going above and beyond to explain the hardship that would make people move to America in the first place and the idealism that they're chasing after it.
podcast-host
And the sense that even as a little kid, if you're watching this film in America, you know that they're not aware of the entire truth because of.
podcast-host
specifically the idea that there are no cats in america that when like the dad is sort of listing off everything that you could do in this country even as a child i remember kind of having my heart broken a little bit like oh man they're really hoping this country will be something that it's not actually because i have a cat on my lap right now
podcast-host
Yeah.
podcast-host
I mean, the predatory nature of America right when you get here.
podcast-host
I really love how this film just kind of goes straight for it.
podcast-host
It's like the mice show up and there's scammers everywhere trying to sell them the Brooklyn Bridge, trying to sell them like tickets that have already been sold.
podcast-host
Like to be aware of that hardship of just because I mean, when you live in America, you know that at some level your family to be here has faced a kind of hardship.
podcast-host
Right.
podcast-host
And like.
podcast-host
I don't know, that university, I love it.
podcast-host
Like, it really makes me think of, like, my family who came over, you know, my mom's side came over as Dutch people, my dad's side came over as Irish people in the 1800s, like, around this time.
podcast-host
And to kind of respect how...
podcast-host
difficult it was and that this country didn't make it easy in the slightest?
podcast-host
One interesting fact about it is this was the first major studio film that was released simultaneously in English and Spanish.
podcast-host
Yeah.
podcast-host
I mean, kind of to that point of like the universality of it.
podcast-host
Well, yeah.
podcast-host
I mean, one of the things I think is kind of funny is when this movie came out at the time, one of the major attacks it got for most film critics is that it was too sweet.
