Movie Reviews of Fast Food Nation
Movie Review: Disturbing and Eye-Opening Film
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie scared the beef out of me. While the entire movie was extremely disturbing -- and eye-opening -- the ending had me unable to sleep, and reved my brain up way to waaaay past scary.
I strongly recommend this movie to anyone that has ever eaten at a fast food restaurant -- I have enjoyed many of them over the years -- and see if you don't look at that greasy hamburger patty with a new and enlightened viewpoint. Is this movie fiction? I don't think so. The teens working behind the scenes, the illegals struggling to make a their place in "our" Promised Land, the family "just like mine" struggling with awareness and dysfunction, the massive holding pens that contain tomorrow's Big Burger ... the disgusting and inhumane way in which the animals are slaughtered ...
I urge you to watch this movie, and see if you feel the same way about that 99 cent "bargain burger".
Movie Review: Organics, or bust!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been on the "Organic Trail" since reading this book, and have never felt better. The movie could have been a very effective documentory, and may still be covered that way if it can avoid the lobbying force that would stop it.
This show is a must see for everyone, whether they eat fast food or not. The horrors covered in here are very real (I've worked in fast food and have known meatpackers) and very avoidable. The actors did a fine job with their roles, and were believable and enjoyable enough without competing for academy awards.
If you're going to insist on opposing the message this show promotes, you may do well to ask yourself why our beef, and now even our grains, are being banned around the world.
Movie Review: Very good film - enlightning
Summary: 5 Stars
I really liked this movie because it showed the inhumane treatment and slaughter of cattle, sexual harassment faced in United States by the Americans to the illegals in the workplace, the privileged lifestyle of the whites versus the cold realities of reality for the mexicans, and a society hell bent on looking the other way for profits, all so Americans can enjoy their happy meals. Yeah, read the book as others have noted, but can't you say that about every film? They say that because they don't want you to watch this movie, and instead they would rather see you live in your fantasyland and rent Shrek 3. Now I am off to Outback Steakhouse to enjoy a bottle of cabernet with my filet mignon. Cheers.Movie Review: Veggie burgers for me from now on
Summary: 5 Stars
I didn't know what to expect before watching the movie; hadn't read the book. But shortly into this film, I was captivated and at times, grossed out. But I had to watch. The movie is thought provoking and unfortunately, you know there is a lot of truth in it. I can honestly say that not only have I sworn off fast food (wasn't a big attraction for me in the first place, just an occasional thing) but I don't see myself eating meat for a long time, if ever. I am sure that what is depicted in this film goes on in the meat industry all over, not just in the fast food places. Disgusting, but you can't turn away, like watching a train wreck.Movie Review: Great Adaptation
Summary: 5 Stars
I read the book last year and was amazed to see how the book was adapted into this engaging, thought provoking movie. At times the book is heavy on policy and statistics but the movie brought it all to life with just as much power. I highly recommend this movie to anyone who is on the verge of converting to a vegetarian type lifestyle. I have been practicing vegetarianism for the last 6 months and a movie like this helps me to stick to my vegetarian convictions both from an environmental perspective and a animal cruelty perspective. I highly recommend every American watch this film.
