Sugar. Dir. Anna Boden, Ryan Fleck Feat. Algenis Perez Soto (Sugar), Jose Rijo (Alvarez), Walki Cuevas (Alfonso) made in 2008.

What really stood out to me was the message it gives people. Miguel Also known as sugar had a tough life, he was a kid that had big dreams and aspirations trying to make something of himself, soon he realized that taking the famous and unstable route ( Professional league) isn't for him. He ended up running away from his team before they threw him out like a broken toy. It's clear that Sugar wanted more in life and he was determined to get it one way or another. He took an okay job at a restaurant and worked his way up, he stabilized himself, made new allies like the man at the carpenter store. I learned that sometimes we don't always get what we dreamed of but sometimes what we're blessed with comes out far greater than what we yearned for. He found a great life in America he works and sends money to the family, found a new girlfriend and joined a league with all ex-professional baseball player just like him. He got the best of both worlds which not many people can say.
I would recommend this movie to an audience that is fond of a heartfelt story. Overcoming obstacles, adapting to a new life, and making sacrifices. This film can be interpreted in different ways, it can help open the eyes of people and give good life lessons when you look beyond just what the movie is about.
