In the passage written by Jason Silverman, he explains that the Sleep Dealer movie introduces us to the future were technology is taken over the system, and it is affecting overseas countries where the United States get all of its labor, and natural resources. In my opinion, this statement is already happening since the United State’s corporation is extracting the natural resources, exploiting people labor, and destroying their land.
Nowadays, it is so usual that the United State’s corporation extract natural resources from others countries to produce its own goods. Even though those natural resources were in another country, they did not belong to the population in that country. As it was shown in the film, Mexican villagers are forced to buy water for their crops from an armed robot. A similarity can be drawn from the crude extracted in Colombia. The major part of the crude, which is used to produce gasoline, is being sold to the United State Corporation at a low price, and the remaining is resold to Colombia at a high price.
Another topic that is discussed in the movie is that United States is exploiting people’s force of labor by paying very low salaries. In the movie, it was shown that the system uses an overseas labor to do general works in the country. In the present time, corporations send their workload overseas to reduce their expenses. Companies as; General Motors, Nike, Ford, and so on, have been sending their factories to several countries outside of their main offices to minimize the cost of labor. Someone who could be paid here in the country for the same type of work in Mexico is not working at the present time, and this cost our society to struggle.
The government is playing a high role in the corporation rush of making profit by destroying entire communities. In the movie, we saw an evil scene were the village of Memo was destroyed. In reality, those scenes are currently occurring in Iraq, and Afghanistan. The video that are being revealed by Wiki leaks in the past few months, it shows us a Jet from the Army, killing suspects that later on were only civilians. If they were not sure about of those people were terrorists, how could they killed them all, as if they were animals.
In my conclusion, movie as the Sleep Dealer are a great form of criticizing the system of corruption that our country is heading to. Therefore, we need to take action to change our reality and enhance our future.
