Product description

The brief but incandescent life of rock-and-roll trailblazer Ritchie Valens is immortalized in this enthralling biopic from another Mexican American icon, Luis Valdez, the father of Chicano cinema. With sweetness and swagger, Lou Diamond Phillips embodies the 1950s California teenager who, forged by his fiercely supportive mother (Rosanna DeSoto) and rebellious brother (Esai Morales), rises from his farm-working roots to chart-topping fame in the early days of rock¡ªuntil one fateful night that haunts music history. Propelled by a hip-shaking soundtrack featuring Los Lobos and Carlos Santana, La Bamba captures the electric vitality of an artist who bridged cultures to create his own American dream. DIRECTOR-APPROVED BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES ? New 4K digital restoration, approved by director Luis Valdez, with 5.1 surround DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack ? Audio commentaries featuring Valdez, actors Lou Diamond Phillips and Esai Morales, and producers Stuart Benjamin, Taylor Hackford, and Daniel Valdez ? New interview with Luis Valdez ? Conversation between Valdez and filmmaker Robert Rodriguez from El Rey Network¡¯s The Director¡¯s Chair ? Making-of program featuring cast and crew ? Audition footage ? Trailer ?

    For pure enjoyment of my youth. Taking Mexican folk song, tweaking it here & there and "Ritchie Valens" makes Rock'n Roll history. Lou Diamond Philips gave an energetic, enthusiastic performance. Well worth time & money to take a trip back to innocence & just enjoying some of the music that provided such good memories. Also great introduction for youber members of the family. Never met a kid who didn't like to & gyrate around to the rhythmic "La Bamba"!

    This was one of those movies that, like TITANIC, you know full-well what the ending's all about, but you want to watch it for: A) the music, and B) the storyline of how everyone involved participated in the eventual end of it all.
    (Fun fact: I've read that the guy who plays Ritchie's brother in the movie was apparently originally tagged to play Ritchie Valens in the movie. Then things got switched around and Lou Diamond Phillips got the role.)

    I purchased the DVD La Bamba (Widescreen) from Âé¶¹Çø.ca in Feb 2021 for about $10 CAD. It arrived factory wrapped and in good shape. No scratches that I could see. I am uncertain if it's also on there in widescreen, by default it played in full screen, in English, on my Canadian DVD player. DVD case says NTSC and is stamped "disc made in Mexico". Case says movie is digitally remastered, but I am a bit disappointed in the quality. Glad I only paid $10 CAD for it. But also glad I finally was able to get myself a copy. I would have given 4 stars but due to the quality being less than I expect from a digitally remastered DVD and uncertainty whether the widescreen version is also on the disc I can only give 3. Will update this review in future if needed.

    my generation. Richie Vanens was a wonderful singer. shows how people lived and struggled to have very little which is so very true. and with family support a talented young man made it to the top with his singing and entertaining.
