In Sleep Dealers the movie Memo, a Mexican very interested in technology, dreams of living the American Dream. According to Elliot “his brother thought of this the American dream as being funny.” In the movie Memo's father has a very carefree feeling towards the American dream and seems very content doing what he is doing. On TV in Mexico, the dream is breathtaking. The war was broadcasted on TV and the fighter pilots had crowds cheering for them. According to Elliot Rudy's role as a drone “pilot” is “to kill off any threats of single that were pick up”. At the end of the film, as Jorge says, “Rudy’s role is to destroy the river dam and restore the river water to the villagers.”
