Reader Reviews
This film is a satiric attempt at letting the viewer know the impact that Hispanics have had in this country, specifically in California. It is a well-intentioned film, but, unfortunately, it misses the mark, as it tries too hard to be too many things. It is unclear whether it wishes to be a satiric mockumentary or a straightforward film. Moreover, it is often confusing, plagued by unclear metaphors, as well as the use of the word "Mexican" as a euphemism for all Hispanics. In the film, all Hispanics disappear from California, upon the arrival of a strange, pinkish fog that surrounds that state, cutting off its communication with the outside world. Before long, thirteen million of them have disappeared, leaving California in dire straits, a virtual ghost town. Politicians, professors, newscasters, domestics, musicians, day laborers, landscapers, and restaurant workers are some that are among the missing. Virtually no profession is left unscathed, as millions of Hispanics simply disappear from the face of the earth. The premise of the film is viewed through a series of vignettes that focus on certain families who have been personally affected by the disappearance of the Hispanic population. Although some of its points are of interest and portions of the film are funny, as well as informative, the message of the film is lost on the viewer, as it is done in by bad acting, poor editing, inept writing, too many subplots, and scatter shot direction. Overall, the film retains a surprisingly amateurish quality. I really wanted to like this film, but while the premise of the film is intriguing, it simply fails in its execution.
