| The final image would have been great if it had been left at the kids carrying off the body, and Valentina arm and arm with Chino having picked up the gun. But that isn't the final image, the final image is the police car pulling up with lights on and Valentina standing there in the street with Chino as they await the police getting out of the car as the others go into the drug store. Baffled that the way the want this to end is Valentina assisting one of the Puerto Rican kids, one of many responsible for all this, to be arrested while they others go inside. If she had walked him inside with the gun and then the police arrive, fine. Everyone protecting each other against the police even after such violence. But for her of all people to be willfully presenting Chino to the police, with the murder weapon for one of the murders (not all). I just don't get the message they are sending about these characters or the movie's message. A very odd image and note to go out on. Not very "there's a place for us" of her. |
