“A few minutes later, a middle-aged man sits down in front of the steering wheel of the car where Xochimilco and I are waiting. Without saying a word, he starts the motor and we pull off.” (P.14) This is what Ramon “Tianguis” Perez states at the end of “From Diary of an Undocumented Immigrant”. In the reading the main character Martin is on the way to the United States as a wetback under the coyote’s help. At that time his heart is filled with bright hope for this trip. In his mind America is a perfect country. There he will earn a lot of money and get a good new life. After reading this text, I thought of a movie I saw before, which has a similar theme that people should fight for their dreams. Compared to the reading, I think the way that the movie states the theme is more efficiently, because of following reasons. At first they both talk about the illegal immigrants in the United States. However, compared to the reading that describes how the immigrants go to America, the movie focuses how they live and struggle to achieve legal status after coming to America. So I think that the movie can be the continuance of the reading. It gives audience an ending about the immigration. Second the movie chooses a better view to tell the story than the reading. In the reading, the protagonist (author), himself is an immigrant. So he as a first person narrator tells the story from his memory. We as the audience can observe intuitively what he thinks about during the story and what he does for going to the United States. In contrast, the film uses the third person narrator to display immigrants’ life. The protagonist Max Brogan is an immigration officer. He is a spectator for the immigration. The movie just uses his eyes to show the audience what’s happening about the illegal immigration. He looks like a member of the audiences, but the difference is that he is in the story, and the audience just sits in the cinema to watch. So
