| I'm not sure I understand the question you're asking... but I think the answer is a resounding yes. "Let him go" isn't really the point, but they should both have gone inside her drug store. She shouldn't be walking him to his arrest, and arrest which, unless I'm forgetting something, is not inevitable. The cops don't know who killed Tony. It just happened. They don't even know what happened right? And also this is of such little consequence to the police. I don't think in this moment Valentina's thought is to turn in a struggling Puerto Rican kid to the racist cops for a mistake that was revenge for a mistake Tony made himself first. And as the only adult in the situation, perhaps she could take a little of the blame on her shoulders and save this kid from what is surely life in prison, this kid who barely had a chance anyway. But regardless of what she'd do, I don't get why the filmmakers chose to have the last image be her standing there to present Chino to the police. Especially in a WSS made specifically for today. Seems oddly lacking in perspective. |
