Eye Opening and Fair Movie
Added 7/12/2009
This was an entertaining movie but with a message. I had already read the book some years ago and had stopped eating at McDonalds and eating red meat right then. The images from the book were about how I imagined them when I saw the movie. I thought the acting was great - even though it clearly had a point of view, I think there was an attempt to show other points of view. I bought 3 copies so I could give it to appropriate friends.

Doesn't convey the facts.
Added 5/26/2009
This film was okay. While portraying the hideousness of the disturbing meat industry, it revolved more around the hardships of the employees and people involved. It failed miserably to convey the facts that the book details. They're quite bellowing too, so not to include them is unforgivable. It didn't seem like anyone even read the book. While the film disappointed me immensely, at least it may provoke uninformed people to become informed. Though I'd recommend just not to be lazy and read the book first. You'll be floored.

Another homerun for Richard Linklater
Added 4/20/2009
A documentary turned Hollywood big production. Even if you don't like the story you have to give Richard Linklater his props, the man has not made a bad movie to date (going way back to "Slackers" and while working with complicated scripts, such as this one which he was largely responsible for). Yes the movie is slanted to the left. But perhaps for the reason that it opens up the question and dialogue of who is exactly happier/better-off in this relationship? Yes people may be happy in the short run in our ever reaching goal of and for efficient conveniences, but such a situation only degrades social and environmental conditions in the long run. Live short and prosper, eh?
The movie examines the ranchers who raise the cattle, the suppliers who slaughter and ship the meats, the (illegal) workers who work for the suppliers, the company who buys the meat to sale it to the end users, and the end users. And then there are the idealistic youth who don't like the game and talk/plan of change.
Many people will not like this movie due to its highly political nature but judge it as a movie and not an ideal and you probably enjoy it.
