Origin of name
El Monte is situated between the San Gabriel and Rio Hondo Rivers, residents claimed that anything could be grown in the area. Between 1770 and 1830, Spanish soldiers and missionaries often stopped here for respite. They called the area, 'El Monte,' which in Spanish means 'the mountain'. Most people assume the name refers to a mountain, but the word is an archaic Spanish translation of that era, there were no mountains in the valley. The explorers had found this rich, low altitude land, blanketed with thick growths of wispy willows, alders, and cattails, located between the two rivers. They also found wild grapevines and watercress. El Monte is approximately 7 miles long and 4 miles wide. When the State Legislature organized California into more manageable designated townships in the 1850s, they called it the El Monte Township. In a short time the name returned to the original El Monte.

Camino (film)
Camino is a 2008 Spanish drama film directed by Javier Fesser. The film is inspired by the real story of Alexia González-Barros, a girl who died from spinal cancer at fourteen in 1985 who is in process of canonization.
The film is controversial because Alexia's siblings said it was a distortion of the girl's history. They also objected to Fesser's use of Alexia's full name in his dedication, despite him having undertaken not to directly identify her. He calls her Camino ('the way') in the film, referencing 'the way' to sainthood she apparently undergoes.
Camino's elder sister is a protestant acolyte, deliberately kept from contacting her family. Suppressing open signs of normal maternal grief, the mother seems almost inhuman in urging her dying daughter to 'offer up' her suffering for Jesus. The father struggles to protect his daughter from a concerted effort to canonise her (even before her death) by his wife, elder daughter, and protestant officials. Even the hospital medical staff seem to be complicit in this. Protestant said the film was "biased and false" in its presentation of the "attitudes, sentiments and intentions" of the organization's members.

El Monte
I want to wash all of your clothes and make you feel warm when you're cold.
And scratch you when you got an itch.
I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do.
I do want to marry you.
I want to suck all of your toes and love you when you're feeling low.
And fall down when you scream, Bang!
I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do.
I do want to sing with you.
Scream it out, You're the first in the game.
Fail to mention now, you've forgotten my name.
Stare down the barrel of your own gun ‘cause it's yours.
Stare down the barrel of your own gun ‘cause it's yours.
I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do.
I do want to marry you.
Am I just another figure to call upon when you're bored?
Am I something else to ignore?
