Movie Reviews of EARTHLINGS
Movie Review: Changed my world
Summary: 5 Stars
It took me 2 weeks after receiving it to actually watch this....I kind of knew what I was in for. I bought this after watching the documentary on Ingrid Newkirk, I had decided after viewing that to go vegetarian, but did not think I could manage being vegan...but after Earthlings I am proudly a vegan.
The one thing that brings home the message is the juxtaposition of happy animals in their natural habitat and the horrid, hellish lives animals live at the hands of humans. I cried the whole movie, to see these animals abused, confined, ripped from their families, confused, scared, and in agony was heart wrenching. I've lived on this planet for 32 years, and until now that is 32 years that I have been complicit and this torture, and thankfully I have now changed my ways.
One can argue that there is much human suffering in the world, and that is true, but suffering is suffering and animal suffering is no more or less important than human suffering. I know this is kind of rambling, but I'm still a bit shaken up since wathing this yesterday. All I can say is if you watched this, and did not even contemplate changing the role animals play in your life, then you are a monster.
Movie Review: Very sad to watch, but it opens your eyes to the truth.
Summary: 5 Stars
Earthlings is a documentary about the pain humans inflict on animals for fur, skin, food and sports, plus the science involved in animal experiments, which are very cruel indeed.
Please do not watch if you have a children as this video is very distressing, but will open anyones eyes to cruelity to anmials.
The point is that these horrifying actions are taking place in the world and I suppose everyone has the right to know, so that maybe someday all these cruel actions to animals will adventually stop.
All I can say is that I hope God is looking down on these cruel actions and those people doing these horrifying things to animals will someday be judged and punished.
I have stopped eating meat or any meat products for the pass 3 months now and Im so happy I have done so, as its not only cruel to kill animals, but its also healthier for me, as now I am eating more Vegetables and fruits.
Lets take action and I do hope governments get together and try to stop these things from happening.

Movie Review: Everyone should see this film
Summary: 5 Stars
There's not much to say about this film that hasn't already been said. I still, however, felt the need to chime in. I won't lie, I've attempted this film several times and have yet to make it the whole way through. It's brutal... and it's real. I was already aware of the atrocities we commit daily to our fellow 'earthlings', but many people aren't. I don't think they truly understand the suffering these animals endure; this film does a great job showing this.
This is a film that people need to see. Now when someone asks why I don't eat meat, I just lend them my copy of Earthlings. It gets the point across better than I ever could. I also strongly recommend you actually buy a copy or even a few if you haven't. I've witnessed first hand the power this movie can have over people. I'm not so naive to think everyone will change their habits, views and/or lifestyle after seeing this film, but many will.
Movie Review: This movie had a big impact on me
Summary: 5 Stars
I cut out 99% of the meat in my diet 1.5 years ago. Shortly after deciding to do so, I watched this movie. I am glad that I did. I had read books about similar subjects, but nothings stays with you as much as the images in this movie. I wish I could give this movie to everyone that I meet and they could at least watch a portion of it. I understand that it is very graphic, but it is not anymore graphic than some of the violence in movies. You don't have to be a vegan, but I think everyone should educate themselves on the practices of factory farms. It saddens me every time I think about innocent animals and how many of them have to suffer so that we can enjoy a bite of steak, a hotdog, or bacon. Meat subsitutes and vegetables are delicious and much cleaner, safer, and healthier. I love my cat and every time I look into his eyes, I am reminded how I don't want to eat another animal again.Movie Review: Moving and poignant
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie blew me away. It shows how man uses his will and force over animals in many different arenas such as the food industry, entertainment, science, domestic animal breeding, and clothing industry. The movie is serious, factual and non-sensational with a total dead pan delivery from the narrator, which packs a mean punch at times but in all honesty its what we all need. Watch this movie, show it to your friends. Its on youtube in sections for free. As a long time vegetarian (10 years and counting), I went into watching this expecting to reconfirm my beliefs but I learned so much more and it made my convictions so much stronger. I finally went vegan and it was thanks to this movie. I'll never be looking back!
If you have any compassion for other species beyond the human race - watch this movie!
