    In both works an essential theme is that of family and the ability of love to bring people together. The film is a story of a father and his son who do not quite see eye to eye. Yet they are family and as their relationship is tested over and over again, their love for each other prevails. It is this love between father and son that keeps them together through the good and the bad. As Carlos is about to be deported, Luis comes to his senses and sees that his father is more important than his friends and what is considered socially acceptable. Family ties pull him away from what he knows to be with his father during this difficult time. Similarly, the families in Rain of Gold are kept together by their love for each other. Even though Dona Margarita’s sons have been taken from her, they eventually reunite with those still alive. Don Victor also experiences the force of family which brings him to leave the United States and return to Mexico for his family. Though he never realized that his family was endangered, his love for his family leads him to return for them. It is the pull of family that brings people together, away from their jobs and places they have grown to call home towards their true home, the people who make up their family.…

    The movie starts with Carlos working and trying to grind out enough money to help him and Carlos, his somewhat troubled but still sensible high school aged son. Luis seems to be a victim of circumstance. He is very selfish and takes his fathers hard work for granted. He is bitter and doesn’t appreciate the sacrifices his father makes for him to keep food on the table and a roof over their head. He skips school regularly and gets into fights. To make things worse he hangs out with a poor crowd, his girlfriend has family ties with El Barrio (the Mexican Gangs) and his best friend wants to be involved with the gangs. We see a tremendous shift in his character throughout the movie though. When his fathers truck gets stolen he is right beside his dad looking to find the man who stole it. He wants nothing more than to help his father regain what he rightfully paid for. He gains some knowledge of his heritage at the Nacional Charro and gains a deeper respect for his people and heritage. When his father gets sent to jail he is deeply hurt and heads home to a message to find out he is being deported. He desperately reaches his aunt to take him to see his father one last time and they get to talk one last time before he goes back. It is a touching conversation and it ends with Luis telling his father that he must come back because he can’t live here on his own. He goes on to live with his aunt and it is…
