Sleep dealer: Blog 12

Sleep Dealer is a mexican production, themes that make the movie mexican is that the whole area where everything is taking place is in Tijauana, Mexico. Also because the actors are latino, they all spoke spanish....well just cause they spoke spanish does not signify that there mexican, but their way of speaking spanish is diffrent. Im hispanic, im dominican, and the when we speak to our parents we dont call them "jefe". "jefe" means boss or like the head chief, in the sleep dealer memo said "Los veremos mastarde jefe" -- "ill see you soon dad". We would not use jefe in that way we would only use it if we were working and talking to our bosses.


Sleep Dealer is obviuosly a hispanic matrix, with the nodes on their arms and neck and they would "plug in" like in the matrix to escape reality. In the Matrix they wopuld plug in to do thier jobs as either save some one or kill some one. in the Sleep Dealer people would plug in to escape reality to also work lets say in California. They seem like they are there but they have never seen it with thier owns, just electrical impluses sent to the brian to make them think that they are somehwere else. Diffrences that ive noticed is that Neo was Born already plugged in, Memo in the Sleep Dealer was not born in the program he had to go to the city to get his nodes put in. Another diffrence is that in The Matrix there was not distinct race, but in the Sleep Dealer there was a distinct race the mexican race and their culture. There was a diffrence between them a big diffrence in the matrix everybody were from urban areas, like friom NY. Whild the people in the Sleep dealer alot of them were from both rural and urban areas. Memo was from the rural part of Mexico planting crops and gather water for his family while others were plugged in , in the city.
