The Mexican Dream (2003)
Clever.

Short and clever, I thought the film was pretty good. It never led me to the question of: so what's the point? as many other short films have conditioned me to ask, as many either practically serve you a message on a silver platter without expecting you to pick up on subtle humor and nuances that reveal the purpose of the film...while some only hold a special meaning to the creator and make no sense to me. I say that the film was clever because the idea is something I've never heard of before: presenting an account of an immigrant crossing the border as a comedy. The film was well-done and the infusion of Mexican culture through the use the enigma "la llorona" was poignant.
