Virtual Future
Sleep Dealer
Director: Alex Rivera
Sleep Dealer is a fictional possibility of what could happen in Mexico’s future. The idea of tolls on the water supply as well as plugs that connects to the virtual world just to do your job. The story focuses on Memo, a boy who lives on the outskirts of Tijuana, and his hacker lifestyle. Little did he know this hobby would one day bring danger to his family. Now in need of a job, Memo goes and tries to make a living in Tijuana so he can help his family. The city is such a strange place to him with all of the new technology taking over. After finding a way to get his “connection”, he begins a job where he virtually controls a welding robot. All is well for a while as he’s able to make enough money to live and send some back to his family.
This movie was decent I guess. To me it just seemed like a Matrix rip off that I’d see on the Sci-Fi channel. Some of the ideas they portray in the movie seemed believable such as the cut on water. Other than that it was a little cheesy on most of the parts.
