Sleep Dealer is ostensibly mexcian production. what elements or themes in the film mark it as "particularly Latino" or particularly mexican? Sleep Dealer have many latino, mexcian traits. In the being you see the area and particularly certain race they are. The area they live in is particularly in the dessert. The area was very dry and lack of water. The lack of water was due to the goverment trying to take over their water supplies in the small desserted town. The family basically lived in the middle of nowhere. The main charcter memo and everyone in the film was spaeking spanish. In the film the directed displayed a lot of struggle and immargration situation as well. like in the movies the different labor jobs they had to do in order to survive was a big struggle. dangerous jobs and dangerous conflicts you can get into just to live. It showed a fierce competition amongst their race for a job as well. No one really spoke english except for the mexcian american solilder who killed the memo's father in the line of duty. Memo also had to work to send money to his family. His job was dangerous even with all of those plugs it still dangerous. He also was talking about moving somwhere else like the city and getting away from his deserted town, moving to the city would be better. the big city was mexico city and to get away from it you would have get plugged in and work in another state vertically. so, they werent really in a different state because legally an immagrant can't. This movie Gave a good example about the real mexcian life and their struggle and I enjoyed it.
