Good concept, poorly executed.
An action-packed slog
Absolutely Fantastic
Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
View MoreThis Oscar nominated documentary probes into the contemporary American food industry in which high profits are valued over producing safe and healthy products. The film treads some very familiar territory as it looks at the inhumane ways animals are farmed in bulk and the way certain seeds are genetically modified, but more often than not, the film is insightful, even utterly fascinating on occasion as it gets into the debate over transparent food labeling. The film does, however, frequently feel unfocused as it rather randomly jumps between food poisoning, the high cost of vegetables compared to fast food, the gradually fattening of chickens over the years and the list goes on. It is a bit of maudlin affair at times too with over-the-top melodramatic background music for such moments as a diabetic father sighing over how expensive broccoli is to buy for his kids (who would really want to eat it!?). The choice to conclude the documentary with a whole lot of inspirational slogans thrown on screen additionally comes off as a little awkward. For all its drawbacks, 'Food Inc.' nevertheless remains rather riveting to view. All of the interview subjects are clearly passionate about their causes. Complacent as the majority of us may well be regarding what we consume, the film provides a worthwhile look at those who care a lot and their very valid reasons why.
View MoreFinally, the ugly thruth behind the perfect appearance and pretty wrapper is being revealed.This documentary really opened my eyes and answered my questions.The faster , the bigger and most importantly the cheaper we produce food the better.The dumber,poorer our one-task workers are, the better.This is the motto of the American food industry.I was astonished to find out facts like"in your hamburger you can find meat from over 1000 cows" or "most chickens never see the sunlight".While I was watching this well-done documentary, I became aware of the corruption behind a cheap, yet tasty burger.It awakened me from my sweet ignorance and reminded me that the world truly is spinning around money. None the less,"Food inc" had the right people , the right stories and the right facts to keep me interested.
View Morethe current method of raw food productions is largely a response to the growth of the fast food industry since long time ago. The production of foods overall has more drastically changed since that time than the several thousand year prior.This movie show us the process of health and safety of the animals producing themselves, of the workers on the assembly lines,and of the consumers actually eating the food are often overlooked by government in an effort to provide cheap food regardless of these negative consequences.Many of the changes are based o advancements in science and technology, but often have negative sides effects.The vie has many fact on our life because it gave many opportunity to see how the food that we eat has been cook and made.
View Moreit was a good movie but sad at the same time because, the way they kill the pigs and animals are nasty and sad to see them go like that ,but also in a good way by the way they show us the pros and cons on food and the different things they tell us . i enjoyed the movie. when they talked about the meat and showed us how they got the bacon from the slaughterer house , i believe they should stop letting them run those type of houses like that but, also they need the pigs for certain food , i say that can use and process different ways to get the food. The movie overall gave a lot of information we need to know about the different process that they need to do about the way they get food
