invisibleunicornninja My grandma loves this movie and made me watch it. The movie is poorly put together, and the main guys are annoying. It's not very informative and uninteresting. I will say though that it is indeed inspirational and helped my grandma lose weight.
Alex Vojacek First of all, I am a vegetarian, I was from the moment I first saw "earthlings", one of the most sad and terrible documentaries about the way animals are treated in a day to day basis for us to be able to consume them.. from that point forward I just watched each and every documentary about healthy diets, vegetarianism, vegan-ism and the likes.I just watched this new film with no expectations whatsoever, thinking I've seen it all, what else could impress me. My knowledge about the subject is wide, I already did fasting, detox diets and all you can imagine, I weight 59kg and I am 38 and I didn't think I could learn something more about it, and I was right! I did not learned anything new, but, oh boy how wrong I was about the whole thing.I did make a huge mistake in over-thinking my position as vegetarian following logic steps when in fact, that was not the thing that lead me to where I am in the first place, instead, it was experience, seeing other people much better than me, my girlfriend feeling great, me, not so much.THIS is the core of this film, experience.The movie does away with all scientific explanations (except for a few doctors in between) and put all of it's effort on showing us real people, real experiences and some really disturbing transformations (for the better!).Suffice to say the movie struck me as beautiful, excellent, super inspiring and right to the point. It's so good that I want to watch it again and again with all the people I know so they too can see for themselves the importance of diet.They say an imagine worth a thousand words, well, this movie is all about experience, images, transformation, virtue, will and most of all, inspiration to others.Explanations, I know them, probably a lot of people don't but now I see this is not so much important anymore, this movie nailed it.Please go watch it you won't regret it, even if you're not interested in all this green stuff.8 out of 10 for sure!
Jessica Hill At first when I saw the cover of this DVD, I thought it was just another informational movie about the obesity epidemic in America. I myself have a BMI of 24, which is just barely within my normal range. So, I didn't think this film would apply to me, but was still interested. While I am generally a sympathetic person, I won't lie that I can't stand to see morbidly obese people stuffing their faces with junk food. It's gross and makes me feel that they have no respect for their bodies. But, wait... I suddenly realized that only months ago I had an addiction to prescription meds and cocaine. I din't eat much at all. People complemented me on my curvy slim figure. It is only now that I realize addiction is addiction. And the food is a drug to these people I've judged. This movie brought me to tears and made me realize my ignorance. There are a lot of skinny people who eat the same way and aren't ridiculed because of how they look. It's sad how misguided our society is. The food we eat today is like poison. This film brought into perspective why cancer, heart disease, diabetes, etc, are killing us younger and younger. This film isn't just about losing weight, it's about changing your life completely and healing your mind, body, and should with the fruits of the earth that have always been here. It's nice to know that making such drastic positive changes in my health and living is something I have the power to control. I just have to CHOOSE to make the decision to change. I believe everyone should watch this documentary at least once. Very informative, very inspiring.
essensual911 For over 2 years, my dad has been drinking vegetable "smoothie" daily for breakfast with recipes recommended by Dr. Tom Wu from Taiwan. As a result he is healthier and looks younger. After watching this documentary, he was inspired and did 3 weeks purely on the smoothie (skin and all fiber included, not just the juice). Surprisingly, he now looks even younger and healthier. His psoriasis condition improves dramatically. So much that I am now trying this out for 10 days. I'm on day 5 now and my skin is glowing I barely need make-up in the morning. I also don't have the migraine which I usually have during my period. I like this documentary very much I am buying the DVD for others who want some inspirational boost to start their health journey.
