Live and Die in East LA is a crime-thriller directed by Attila Korosi, who also acts in one of the central roles. There is a fair amount of ambition in this one, despite its small-scale finances and I do have to say that it was considerably better than most movies of such low budget origins. It has some cartoon sequences (which are quite shakily drawn it has to be said) of a caterpillar and its journey through a forest, with various predators and pitfalls along the way. The choices this creature makes is reflected in the main story involving various characters in East L. A. This story is made less straightforward with it reversing every so often and replaying, to show different outcomes to scenarios which hinge on different decisions made by characters in the story. It's a good idea, as it makes what would have been a fairly routine story about people caught up in circumstances into something quite a bit more engaging and interesting; instead, it examines the effect of our choices in life and how they can have a profound impact. Acting performances were good all round with several performers not professional actors at all and more people from the street playing versions of themselves. There are a few visceral moments of violence, with a particularly grim arm chopping sequence and there was some good tension generated in a few key moments as well. It's a very honourable effort overall, and certainly worth checking out for sure.

The narrative is deeply rooted in the concept of choices and their consequences, which cleverly parallels the journey of a caterpillar navigating through a forest-symbolizing the varying options and crossing paths of life.

At its core, the film delivers a powerful message about family, survival, and the blurred lines between right and wrong.

A Poignant Meditation on Destiny and Identity

"Live and Die in East LA" is a thought-provoking and emotionally resonant film that asks one of the oldest philosophical questions: Is our fate written in stone, or do our choices truly shape our lives? The film centers around an immigrant nurse and a young dreamer from a Chicano neighborhood who aspires to become an astronaut. Their stories interweave across three alternate timelines, each showing how small moments-and powerful, unseen forces-can lead to vastly different outcomes.

The narrative structure is ambitious but handled with care. Each timeline feels unique yet connected, exploring themes of systemic barriers, cultural identity, resilience, and hope. The performances are heartfelt and grounded, especially from the two leads, who bring depth and vulnerability to their roles. The cinematography captures the soul of East LA with authenticity, and the score subtly enhances the emotional undertones without overpowering them.

Though at times the pacing can feel uneven and some plot points could have used more development, the film's core message shines through: the delicate interplay between destiny and choice is more complex than we imagine. "Live and Die in East LA" is a bold, moving story that lingers long after the credits roll.
