Such a frustrating disappointment
Must See Movie...
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
View MoreWatching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.
View MoreI still give this 10/10 as it is a must see movie for the practices of Australia. However, when compared to Joaquin's compassionate and moving narration of Earthlings, the narration of Lucent is not compassionate and moving but sensationalised and excited, like an arrogant 60 minutes news reporter.The movie could have been reduced by about 1/3 of the length at least. It dragged on, and the clips of the activists woven in was not fitting of the progression of the story - they could have been left out, or shown during the credit sequence as a call to action perhaps.I just wish they did this with the editing and compassion that Earthlings followed, instead it is just like a long 60 minutes piece with more graphic footage and true events.Despite this, it's still worth putting on for doubters of Australia's practices, as well as for informing yourself.
View MoreMakes me realize how important it is to be vegan. Animals can feel pain just like us and to eat them when we don't have to is just crazy to me. A great watch and a great tool to use to show people why I am vegan. Very happy to see films like this shining light on where our food comes from. I like how the film doesn't sugar coat what it is like to live as an animal in Australia. It was well panned and well executed. It is done without bias and is a must see for anyone who consumes Australian animals. People need to know how the animals they eat are treated and how this treatment impacts on the animals day to day wellbeing. I will definitely recommend this film to anyone and everyone. It is a must see!
View MoreThe single most powerful film I have ever seen. Australians have a catch cry 'but it doesn't happen in Australia' when confronted with images of animal abuse. This film is here to tell you it does happen in Australia. When confronted with animal abuse footage we also have another saying 'it's a rogue operator'. This film also shows that it is common practice throughout Australia to allow animals to suffer unimaginably in factory farms. This is a must watch if you consume animals. You have to know where your food came from & how it came to be on your plate. You cannot have your head in the sand anymore. Come to the light.
View MoreA deeply moving and highly informative expose of the Australian pig industry. Lucent tells the story you need to hear and shows the images you need to see. Factually presented with irrefutable video evidence from 50 different pig farms,you will not be able to question nor deny the truth ever again. You will, however, question why these things are allowed to continue. The light has been shone on an horrific industry. Lucent also reveals similar issues with all animal agriculture, including cattle and dairy, sheep, chickens, ducks and turkeys. The narration successfully educates the viewer with informative and emotive content. Superbly directed, Lucent is a film that will remain in your thoughts long after the credits have rolled.
