The movie Sleep Dealer by its director Alex Rivera is an excellent cinematic example of a particularly “Latino” film in which we can identify the different aspects that contributes to the regular way of living of the “Latino”, especially Mexican society.
This movie, which I defined as a great film due to its special effects during explosions and its originally background setting such as the terrain at Santa Ana or the luxurious views of different US cities such as California and New York.
This great film illustrates in a futuristic style the present reality that Mexico and even some third world countries such as Latin American nations are experiencing, militarized world marked by closed borders, poverty and the very common social class hierarchy in which the rich and powerful controls, uses and takes advantage of the poor, not educated and hard working people with needs, that will do anything to help their families emphasizing in a more financially manner.
To support this, lets review the scene in which Memo and his father goes to the dam to look for water and are welcome by a militarized robotic gate in which they have to insert money in order to get a essential element for living such as water, and according to what his father says to him, the dim wasn’t there years ago, so this is a great example of how Sleep Dealer reflects a reality in a futuristic way.
