The Silence is Deafening

Rating: 3/10 (12 June 2018)

This film is full of tropes about the immigrants, suffering egregiously, and so angry because they work so hard, or cannot find jobs, or are so desperately poor. The writers deliver us the perfect liberal dupe who feels so guilty he goes out into the fields with them to find out how terrible it is to suffer under their working conditions. But where I truly felt nauseous was the deafening silence as to why they came to America in the first place, and what benefits they received for free and what opportunity the free education and healthcare will mean to them. Never once in this entire film is there anything that would represent an honest opinion by even one migrant. They all came because they hate the USA but it was still better than where they came from. Just not enough to offset the horrible conditions here or give them pause to praise their good fortune. I found it utterly disgusting that no reviews I read were aware of this deafening silence. As I was raised in a neighborhood full of Mexican migrants, I can attest that there was not a single one ungrateful for this country and really trying hard to be a part of it. In this film, the liberal, guilty white coach assimilates into THEIR culture and never even mentions USA pride. The truth is, most of South and Central America and Mexico, like Cuba were completely taken over by socialists and communists LONG AGO, and have remained in poverty, with rampant crime and corruption for many decades. That is why so many want to get away and move here. The countries they live in have schools that ONLY teach socialism, guilty socialism, so everyone remains poor except for the elites, who live like kings and queens. That is except where the collapse of the country has occurred like in Venezuela. Want to know why Chile is so modern and thriving with infrastructure and wealth? Because they are one of the few that fought communism and would not let it take over. It is just a shame no one questions this illiterate Hollywood tripe or knows what they are being fed under the guise of good, wholesome entertainment. HA.
