"La Bamba" - More Than Just a Feel-Good Biopic?

Okay horror peeps, hear me out. I know, I know, "La Bamba" (1987) isn't exactly dripping in blood or jump scares (though that dang recurring nightmare scene with the plane bits was kinda unsettling!). But I recently re-watched it and I'm wondering if anyone else saw a kinda…tragic, almost horror-adjacent vibe bubbling under the surface? Specifically, I'm thinking about how Ritchie (Lou Diamond Phillips, amazing btw!) is constantly battling this intense fear of flying. It's clearly connected to some deeply buried trauma linked to his past and the plane crash. The movie plays it off as bad luck or superstition at first, but as his fame grows, it feels more like a slow-burn curse. Like, his success is inextricably linked to this looming sense of dread and we, the audience, know how things end. Did anyone else get that feeling of impending doom, even knowing the historical outcome? And then there's Bob, Ritchie's half-brother. He's complex and flawed but also seems jealous of Ritchie's success, even though he loves him. That dynamic, plus Bob's self-destructive tendencies, just added another layer of unease for me. Its like they were all caught in a tragedy. I wonder if that's how the directors wanted it? Anyway, I'm curious if anyone else picked up on these darker themes, or if I'm just seeing horror movie shadows everywhere I go. Let me know your thoughts!
