It took a while to come into this movie and his movement and his characters,
but I never got there and was lost for a moment in a very complex history of
many levels and personalities - all in a seemingly simple entry-level U.S.
neighborhood.

suppose that the film was whot in 16mm film and / or digital video, and once again
, a low budget does not mean a bad history. The direction and editing
worked well in a story where the entire cast was homogeneous and
perfect.

Excellent. Excellent. Excellent.


In recent decades, the neighborhood of Washington Heights in upper Manhattan
has changed fundamentally since the German Jewish area I grew up in
one that is now almost exclusively Dominican. The change took place gradually
after thousands of small landowners in the Dominican Republic
1965-1966 nots in the U.S. after the military invasion and occupation
. When I think of the heights of my youth,
I can still smell the freshly baked rye bread bakeries of the Jews in
St. Nicholas Avenue and the flavor of pickles kosher delicatessen in my father 193rd Street.
Now, as reflected by first time director Alfredo de Villa in the film
Washington Heights, the streets are filled with music and salsa and wineries
players dominated on the streets. Shot in digital video into basements, streets, alleys
, ground floor and apartments in 18 days with only a minimal budget,
Washington Heights is about fathers and sons, the conflict of generations, and
sad undercurrent of violence that is part of the assimilation process
.

In the film, two children were hampered in their efforts to realize their dreams
. Carlos Ramirez (Manny Perez) commutes daily to the East Village
work as a comic book inking and longs to have its own house imprint. The
is unwilling to forgive his father Eddie (Tomas Milian) to cheating on his mother
. Eddie, who owns the winery corner, he had to give up his own goal to
become a bolero singer, when she married and had a son and now despises her son
artistic ambitions. In a sub, Charles' friend Mickey, the son of an Irish construction
administrator Sean Kilpatrick (Jude Ciccolella) dreams of winning a tournament
bowling is Las Vegas, but his father was doing everything possible to < br> glued to keep his job as superintendent of a building.

Tragically, Carlos' plans are put on hold after her father was shot and paralyzed during a robbery
. It is a struggle for both men and accept the new
their living conditions and old resentments boil rapidly to the surface but there are moments
bidding as well. When Charles takes over the company,
however, he discovers that his father owes a debt of $ 25000 to Kilpatrick
and is determined to work until they can repay the debt. Carlos'
concern the exploitation of the business and caring for his father
puts strains in her relationship with her dressmaker friend Maggie (Andrea Navedo
) and she tells Charles: "Do You think you're an artist, but is just
a boy whose father owns a winery. "

things are further complicated when her friend's brother, Angel
(Bobby Cannavale) hides the money they are saving to return to the Dominican Republic
in his collection of LP and foolishly tells people it is.
Ultimately, Jack is able to use his experience with his father
to deepen their commitment to the neighborhood and to transform the quality of his art. I found
Washington Heights to be predictable and sometimes fans, but
this is an honest and involving film that augurs a bright future for
director and his cast and I do not hesitate to recommend.
