      Audience Member Esta película es un buen ejemplo de los problemas que hay en el México actual; la trama es buena, los actores son excelentes y hay un buen uso de la sátira; es bueno ver que se realiza buen cine en México. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member It reminded me of the corrupt tv station relationship with the socialist governments from 2003-2014 in my birth country of Brazil. Any similarity is not a coincidence. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a great movie that analyzes the political corruptness in Mexico and its ties to the media. Although most of the events seem like they are a dramatic fictional film, most of these events happened in Mexico. The film also explores how media has become a mechanism to keep viewers entertained, rather than informed. Each of the aspects the film explores brings the viewer closer to understanding how much of an influence your selected news sources and the monopoly taken in media have an impact on your views of the world. No matter where you are from, this movie should be important to watch to understand the world you are part of. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member For some reason, I was under the pretext that this would be a comedy, but it was actually a very dark movie about political and media corruption. From what I've been told, this story actually happened as well, which makes it that much more sinister and real. Nonetheless, A++ in keeping it very very real. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member The perfect dictatorship is a cruel reality of the situation of Mï¿ 1/2 1/2 1/2 (C)xico with their government. It's amazing how a TV company with just one commercial or spotlight can turn things into bad and goods therms. They have a really interesting way of managing everyone, starting with the president to a citizen. The perfect Dictatorship shows that not even the local president has knowledge of the responsibility that he has for being president, it can tell that they only look for power and money. It's surprising how you get to know that they have contact with drug dealers and the types of business they have with them. It's A tough film where we can appreciate and have the knowledge that Mï¿ 1/2 1/2 1/2 (C)xico in the last decade has been ruled by "qualified" government and its nothing but BS, but VIVA MEXICO. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Filme mostra como a mídia é capaz de eleger os políticos por pior que eles sejam e como se abafam escândalos com outros escândalos e a forma suja que a televisão manipula as pessoas...
