danajoulani In the documentary "Food, Inc," filmmaker Robert Kenner take the audience out from the dark they live in by revealing many but all of the facts concerning food industry in the USA. For instance, the documentary starts with mentioning modified food and how food industry's companies don't want us to know the truth behind what we eat, because if we try to follow our food chain we will know how this small group of people are taking the control of our food system, which often empowers them to abuse animals, American farmers, workers, the environment, and us. The documentary focuses on how such companies even got to the point where they may produce contaminated food just to achieve their major concern; making big profits. Moreover, Kenner does not satisfy with only lifting the veil on those surprising facts, however, he addresses some solutions to the consumers.On one hand, I think "Food, Inc" plays a good role in many parts that resemble its strengths. Such parts are relied in the given brief description about the mentioned companies that make it easy for the film watcher to keep up and track the documentary. In addition, "Food, many facts and shows all the related facts in details, which makes the audience feel like they are not anymore sitting in their seats. Moreover, "Food, Inc" does not satisfy with only addressing food crisis, however, it suggests steps for the audience to take. A good powerful point to add is that all the mentioned points are facts and are addressed to the audience without any bias. A major weakness I find is that the film fully focuses on American food manufacture and gives no space for any food manufacture worldwide. Not only this, however in my point of view, it doesn't even discuss all the food manufacture in the USA. Form here, we can judge that this film concentrates on some parts and does not even mention other ones which makes the film not well demonstrated. Moreover, I find that the name of the documentary does not satisfy its components. Indeed, this film gives over attention to food companies as companies and administration, and to the farmers who work in this field Such as Tyson. Moreover, I find that the film stresses too much on some material such as the death of a kid from E.coli. Furthermore, one of the major weaknesses that "Food, Inc" has is the lack of real solutions. Solutions in this film are given but are not on a deep level to make the audience take important decisions. Besides, those solutions fail to be used by numerous people that this film is addressed to.All in all, "Food, Inc" tries to draw an image about the food US. I see the film important and I encourage everyone who lives in the USA to watch this must-see documentary.
bodiu_madalina Finally, 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.
karizma-williams So how i felt about the movie was that is was very good informal movie and that it is a very good movie to learn about food processing and it's ingredients . The movie showed peoples story about how people had got sick from food poisoning and etc . What really shocked me was the food company who was caught with salmonella invasion in there food , they didn't even like make awareness so that other people will not get . The mother of the son who died from a disease from food they didn't really do anything about it . They continued to process there food the same way and the mother was very upset about . I personally feel for the mother in the movies . The movie is really informally good about food.
Jorge Angel movie was good and now I know how animals are being abused. I now know how companies are making billions are dollars. Cows, chickens, and pigs are being killed for food. I understand that we need food in order to live but leaving chickens so they can suffer and die on their own. And cows are being killed brutally. Pigs are being hit and killed to death.now i know how companies process the food into packages. this movie is very educational.There were illegal workers that were making good money, they got arrested and they did it to take care of their families. And there were some problems with animals because a little boy died from eating a hamburger because of the disease.
