The near future of remote manual work globalization
In the US we are inured to dealing with corporate service centers with call takers that speak barely understandable English. This form of remote cross border servicing is one of the characteristics of globalization of work made possible by the internet. What this film does is imagine the next logical step: the similar globalization of manual labor. By means of robotics and the WWW, the film depicts a world where robotic drones in the US do all kind of menial and dangerous work while the brains that control the drones sit or stand in a third world country. It’s the ultimate dreamworld for the US of A: work without the annoyance of immigrants.

While the near-reality sci-fi concept is clever, the film itself screens as an Hollywood B-movie. The acting and plot development styles will be familiar to the popcorn-eating crowd that populates the local shopping mall multiplex. The special effects are not that impressive (not surprising considering a 2.5 million dollar budget). There is a dated Star Wars bit with planes shooting at each other while flying through a canyon. It’s tiresome if you don’t dig this kind of infantile action scenes.

On the positive side, the film is peppered with clever manipulation of language, satirical takes on American impressions of foreigners, jabs at the excesses of capitalism, and inspired blending of present and future. The “coyotes” of today have been replaced by “coyoteks” who will, for a fee, pierce your skin with the appropriate hardware plugs (called nodes) that will enable you to directly connect your body to the internet and to vie for a job at a cyber “maquiladora”. If you get such a job, you will send some of your salary to poor relatives back home in the countryside. Money transfers have been simplified, but there are so many fees and surcharges (think of your cell phone bill) that one third of the principal is pilfered by corporations and the government.

You can read more about this subject of remote work at the faux website www.cybracero.com (read cyber plus “bracero”). Check it.

On the net, users have gone beyond sharing personal data. Now they upload memories (yes, sucked out of one’s brain) to the TruNode central database and sell them to interested readers. While plugged in — literally — TruNode will even sense if you are lying. More interesting or juicy memories, more money. It’s the hyper-commercialization and surrender of the human soul.

The ultimate target is the privatization of water. Alas a sad development currently in progress. In good Hollywood fashion, a successful attack is gathered against that idea. The dream of revolt is not dead. Cyber poor of the world, rise up!

Tremendous Cinematic Power Courses Thru This “Dream Dealer’s”Veins!
From PASTO, COLOMBIA-Via: L. A. CA; CALI, COLOMBIA+ORLANDO, FL The Only TONY KISS CASTILLO on FaceBook!—————————

This Mexican surprise is a real “SLEEPER” in every sense of the word! 9*********, right up front, no ambivalence about this little gem! Lends a totally unexpected new dimension to the phrase “Hook Me Up”!

Before I begin enumerating the list of great things DEALER has going for it, a word about the title: How many of you know some Spanish? Mine is on a par with my English: “Sleep Dealer”. Weird translation! That would be “Traficante de SUENO”(Singular–BTW, can’t render an “enyeh” here, sorry!) “Traficante de SUENOS”(Plural) should be “DREAM Dealer”. That even sounds a lot better, doesn’t it? I’m clueless as to why the misfire on the title, but that’s about DEALER’s only misstep!

A Tremendous cinematic power courses through this DEALER’s veins! During its 85 minutes of on-screen life! First, it’s a genre bender. An interesting fusion of not-too-distant-future Sci-Fi, Suspense, Drama, Political Thriller and Still-Third-World-and-Definitely-NOT-Hollywood Foreign/Mexican!

The storyline delivers some very convincing/ interesting 3rd world perspectives on globalization and exploitation, but devoid of soapbox style preaching. It simply presents events and lets them speak for themselves, in a “You draw your own conclusions” fashion.

One truly surprising element was the AUDIO of DEALER. The quality of the sound and sound mixing was right up there with the very BEST U. S. films. ALL audio elements complimented the film perfectly, adding a very subtle, sophisticated level of highlighting of mood, texture and ambiance enhancement. DEALER also spins language like no other foreign film. Reminiscent of Aldous Huxley’s NEW-SPEAK in Brave New World, which influenced A CLOCKWORK ORANGE some 30 plus years later, the dialog is brimming with the likes of COYOTEC; from Coyote, those who organize illegal border-crossings; and LIVE NODE GIRLS, for that ultimate “Hook Me Up” experience!——————————– 9*********………ENJOY! / DISFRUTELA!!!
