What did the movie la bamba do wrong?

"La Bamba" faced criticism for its historical inaccuracies and oversimplification of Ritchie Valens' life and career. Some felt that the portrayal of his family dynamics and cultural background lacked depth, leading to a somewhat stereotypical representation of Mexican-American experiences. Additionally, the film's focus on drama sometimes overshadowed the musical elements, which could have provided a richer context for Valens' impact on Rock Music.
