This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 34.227.0.0/16 has been blocked by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 11:46, 23 November 2025. Your current IP address is 34.227.114.28.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''''Under the Same Moon''''' (((lang-es|'''La misma luna'''))) is a 2007 [[drama film]] directed by [[Patricia Riggen]] (in her [[List of directorial debuts|feature film directorial debut]]) and starring [[Kate del Castillo]], [[Adrián Alonso]], and [[Eugenio Derbez]].

== Plot ==
The film tells the story of Rosario, a single mother who [[Immigration to the United States|crossed the US/Mexican border]], leaving behind her son, Carlitos. As a part of their weekly calls, Rosario describes the area around the payphone to Carlitos in detail. Meanwhile, Carlitos lives in his hometown with his ill grandmother. On the day of his ninth birthday party, his aunt and uncle try to take custody of him to take the money Rosario sends to him every month. His Grandmother turns down their offer and assures Carlitos that she will keep him with her. Later the same night, she dies in her sleep.

Soon after his grandmother dies, Carlitos finds the coyotes and pays them to get him across the border, using money he had saved over the years from both his mother's payments and his part-time job.  After crossing the border, the coyotes are stopped for other offenses (several hundred dollars in unpaid parking tickets and expired tags), and their car is towed away with Carlitos still inside. At night, Carlitos escapes the vehicle and runs off but unwittingly drops his money.

Carlitos reaches a bus station but can't buy a ticket because he is too young. Carlitos asks a man if he could buy him a ticket. Carlitos then realizes that he has lost his money. He offers the man $100 to drive him to the impound lot, but when they arrive at the impound lot, Carlitos can't find the money. The man, upset, tries to sell Carlitos to a [[Procuring (prostitution)|pimp]]. A local woman, Reyna witnesses the exchange and takes Carlitos to live and work with other [[Illegal immigration to the United States|undocumented immigrants]], but not before scolding the men and throwing money at the man who had attempted to sell Carlitos. The next day, while working, immigration police raid the building and arrest most of the workers. Carlitos and another worker named Enrique, who does not like Carlitos, escape.

Carlitos begins to follow Enrique as he leaves the farm. Enrique tells him to leave him alone and that he doesn't want to watch over him and not to follow him. Carlitos follows him anyway, and the two eventually end up hitchhiking to the city limits of [[Tucson, Arizona|Tucson]]. When they get out of the van, Enrique yells at Carlitos again for following him and tells the boy to go, so Carlitos begins to walk off in anger on his own. Enrique sees that some men are about to jump Carlitos to try and steal his backpack, and decides to save Carlitos.

Carlitos manages to gain employment for both Enrique and himself at the restaurant. While at the restaurant, Carlitos looks up his absent father, Oscar Aguilar Pons, and they meet. Oscar agrees to take Carlitos to Rosario, but later doesn't show, apparently having changed his mind, angering Carlitos. Enrique decides to take Carlitos to [[Los Angeles]]. The two take a bus ride and reach LA.

Carlitos and Enrique arrive in East LA at the address, only to find a PO box. Carlitos and Enrique decide to search the city for the payphone her mother calls from. After a day of unsuccessful searching, the two rest on a bench.

Then, Doña Carmen calls Rosario, letting her know that Carlitos crossed the border and that her mother is dead. Rosario decides to go back to Mexico to search for Carlitos, believing him to be deported, as she thinks Carlitos has no idea where to find her. When boarding the bus she sees a little boy at a payphone out the window of the bus at the bus station, and she realizes that Carlitos does know where to find her.

In the morning, Enrique and Carlitos get surprised by a pair of police officers, and Enrique, noticing that Carlitos is about to be apprehended, throws his coffee at the cops to distract them. Enrique shouts to Carlitos to run away, which he is able to do, but Enrique is arrested, sacrificing his freedom.

Carlitos finally finds the payphone. They see each other across the street. Rosario yells to her son not to cross yet. The crosswalk light turns from the "red hand" light to the “white figure walking" light, indicating that Carlitos and his mom will finally reunite.

== Themes ==
((unsourced|section|date=January 2024))
=== Determination ===
In ''Under the Same Moon'', Riggen helps to show the power of determination. The character of Rosario displays many underlying feminist themes, since she is fighting for success for her family almost completely by herself. In Los Angeles, she experiences difficulties with finding work but keeps persevering so that she can see Carlos again. Additionally, the theme of determination can be seen in the way that Rosario is determined to find true love. When Paco proposes, she initially does not comply because she is determined to save her marriage for someone she is truly in love with.

Carlos also is determined to reunite with his mother again, which essentially drives the entire plot of the film. He faces many challenges on his journey, yet continues the journey because his sight is set on Los Angeles and his mother.

=== Love ===
The theme of love is a central theme of the film as well. There is a sense of universal love in the sense that complete strangers, such as Enrique, sacrifice themselves for the love of others. Additionally, the closing scene of the reunion shows how the power of love is what led to the reunion of Rosario and Carlos. Riggen shows the challenges that immigration brings about, yet how love can overcome borders. In the end, love makes people move mountains.

== Reception ==
The film received generally favorable reviews from critics, getting a 73% fresh rating on [[Rotten Tomatoes]] with an average rating of 6.5/10. The website's consensus reads, "If ''Under the Same Moon'' is often manipulative, it is also heartfelt, and features strong performances from its leads."<ref>((cite web |url=https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/same_moon |title=Under the Same Moon (2008) |work=[[Rotten Tomatoes]] |access-date=20 March 2018))</ref> On [[Metacritic]], 24 critics gave the film 59/100, meaning "mixed or average" reviews.<ref>((cite web |title=Under the Same Moon (La misma luna) |url=https://www.metacritic.com/movie/under-the-same-moon-la-misma-luna |website=Metacritic |access-date=20 March 2018))</ref>

Critics have called it a “warm drama that humanizes America's current illegal immigration debate even as it sentimentally stacks the deck in favor of the undocumented”.<ref name=":2">((Citation |title=Under the Same Moon |url=https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/under_the_same_moon_2008 |access-date=2016-12-01))</ref> Some critics have said the film relies heavily on sentiment, and therefore it “blunts the hard edges of immigration with a thick coating of preciousness”.<ref>((Cite news |last=Catsoulis |first=Jeannette |date=2008-03-19 |title=Under the Same Moon - Movie - Review |newspaper=The New York Times |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/19/movies/19moon.html |access-date=2016-12-01 |issn=0362-4331))</ref> Notably, the film received a standing ovation at [[Sundance Film Festival|Sundance]].<ref name=":2" />
