the movie . . . and the earth do not swallow him and base on the book by tomas rivera and be an eye opening movie for most people . it talk about the exploitation that migrant farmworkers go through in order to survive . sergio perez us impressionistic technique to depict rivera story . he use sienna and gray scale effect to depict some of the scene and and he use specific photographic technique to make the scene look like they take place in the 1950s . perez also give life to the film by use time appropriate music and include balladeering and guitar playing . i feel that it be a good film to view because it show in detail how migrant farmworkers live and what they do for entertainment and and their belief .
