Our Daily Bread Reviews
They could not even get the basic science correct.
Nik Geyrhalter pays homage to Kubrick and Wiseman. One of the best post-millenium movies going, it's made with a sure hand and that Kubrickian symmetrical eye, which lends a sense of space between the images & sound, and the viewer. The result? Room to think. That much is needed as what we take for granted is very seldom reflected upon. Here, we have reflection with a surgeon's gaze, and like a good doctor, Geyrhalter tells the truth, minus the didacticism. It's not for everyone; only the ascetic and those with a sense of design need apply.
It may have been one of the worst documentaries I have ever sat through. Our Daily bread brings you through the food industry but only shows you the part of killing animals, cutting their body parts off and what the machines do. We don't see after the fact when things are packaged but just the brutal side of things. In the first 15 minutes you see many long shots showing animals being forced into lines to be killed, even though I know this happens every day. I don't need to watch a movie about it. Through those 15 minutes you see so much that already you want to turn it off. I was expecting someone to start talking but no, for all 90 minutes there is absolutely no talking whatsoever. This is filled with long shots that show what goes on in these plants and just shows how life less the people working there are. This film was hard to watch and was just boring, I was expecting another Food Inc but this is nothing close to that.
Raw, graphic, and impactful; there is no need for narration for this documentary to leave a lasting impression.
Finally got the courage to look at this much talked-of documentary about the food industry. It is a bit of a cliché, but really, it is so thought-provoking everyone should see it. It shows a reality most of us do not want to see.
O austriaco Nikolaus Geyrhalter andou durante dois anos a recolher imagens em explorações alimentares industriais para dar a ver como é recolhida e processada a comida que consumimos diáriamente. Sem voz off nem diálogos, o filme deixa as imagens falarem por si e é capaz de fazer os espectadores sairem perturbados da sala ou jurarem que a partir de agora se tornam vegetarianos. Legumes, carne, peixe, fruta: pouco interesam as diferenças, tudo está automatizado de modo a poupar o esforço humano e a maximizar a rendibilidade de cada alimento, mas com o efeito irónico de desumanizar a mão-de-obra, reduzida ao mero estatuto de "máquina" que repete incessantemente os mesmos gestos para manter a linha de montagem a funcionar"Portanto já sabe, a partir daqui não tem desculpa, de cada vez que entrar nas grandes superficies dos Hipermercados já sabe do que é que a casa gasta."Nikolaus Geyrhalter propõe ver-nos a nós, os humanos que inventámos a linha de montagem, como mais uma rodinha na engrenagem do "pão nosso de cada dia" - mas, entrando numa perturbante dimensão (quase paredes meias com o voyeurismo) fá-lo com um distanciamento glacial, ele próprio "quase desumano", sem julgar nem tomar partido, mostrando-nos o que já sabemos mas preferimos ignorar, à laia de segredo de polichinelo. Our Daily Bread é uma espécie de apocalipse da natureza domesticada filmado em câmara lenta, enquanto os homens vão mastigando a sua sanduiche e bebendo o café na pausa para o almoço, como se não fosse nada com eles". Ainda por cima, sempre de olho na omnipresente 온라인카지노추천.
This excellent film has no narration to distract you from the visuals. It showcases or food as a commodity rather than a relationship with and stewards of the earth.
A pretty much silent film with no subtitles about the Big Food Industry. Thought-provoking. Worrisome. Good pick, Gerry.
a stunning example of how good art can find the relationship between beauty and reality with mesmerising and sometimes devastating effect - the images are unsensationalised and without any further comment - perhaps we all should know how we get our daily bread... next line: "forgive our trespasses"
Truth is louder than words. Within the scope of the content presented, space is left for viewers to decide and interpret on their own. All it comes down to is how do we live as the species holding the power to destroy and create? Can we take only what is needed and eat with respect? This is definitely one of the movies that will resonate at the bottom of my heart for a long long time.
Se la recomiendo a cualquiera, es increÃble y da para reflexionar mucho sobre la producción industrial, bastante chocante algunas veces
Is this from Germany? This was quite disgusting especially in the scene that cows + pigs are killed by a machine, and couldn't bear its quietness over approx 90 minutes.
OMG i watched 30mins of this movie and had to shut it off. i thought i was going to vomit.....completely disgusted
este documental me recordó mucho a La Guerra de los Mundos y a The Matrix, nada mas que aquà con los roles invertidos... supongo que eso lo deja bastante claro. A quiensea que me cuestione porqué vegetariano, esto resume muy bien una de las dos grandes razones.
