Carnage

It has the facade of comedy, but it soon becomes clear that it's a propaganda film for the vegan lobby (Amstell is a vegan himself). Without respecting the scientific method the movie implies that vegan diet is healthy.

In a Solar-Punk future, the whole world has seen and fixed the problems of animal agriculture from both ethical and ecological perspective, yet a realistic problem, forgiving the ones who once were performing cruel acts arose. The story is about teaching the next generation the norms of the past and how the society overcame it through time.

In the movie, judgement of the young generation upon the old one provides a good parallel with non-vegans who think that the vegans think that they are better than them. It is inspiring and shows it is okay to change opinion when you had a chance to think more deeply and / or encountered with new information.

The info they used until the year the movie was relased is true, so that it starts like a real documentary, which gives it a smooth flow and a good framework for the viewers who never questioned the global food system appropriately.

The rest is fiction of course but it ties the story neatly to the past. It mentions not just the constant positive development but also the struggles the movement encountered in time.

Also, I personally liked the word "carnist" since it normalizes veganism and non-violence and alienates the system based on cruelty and inefficiency. It is not just about changing a word used in daily life. It is about changing the perspective. Imagine ordering a pizza and they asked you "normal or carnist?" instead of "normal or vegan?". So, I appreciate this idea so much.

Overall, I found it as an oasis where we are surrounded by depressive cyber-punk movies.

I suggest this movie for both vegans (to be hopeful) and non-vegans to maybe question their prejudice.

I had the lowest expectations, maybe because the poor distribution I thought it was a joke, low budget, amateur, probably just a strechted short film. Nothing to be taken seriously.

I was wrong, realized it was something serious in the first minutes and I enjoyed every line it It's fun, brilliant, and very well crafted, totally recommend it.

"Like a monk you'd like #x22; was rather uncharacteristic and vulgar. So was assuming everyone wants certain celebrities regardless of whether they are vegan.

A lot of the film was rather redundant, and also flamboyant, painting vegans a little crazy.

Didn't like the lack of responses to certain fallacies, or the scene where the old woman doesn't remember anything, and keeps getting upset over her food being called "It." I thought it would make a lot more sense for someone in her state to simply respond to the absurdity of the free-range argument rather than get stuck on semantics and disbelief that free-range exists. It's obvious that killing an animal is wrong regardless of whether the animal is free-range or not.

All in all I'd prefer to see a sober black comedy concerning veganism, not really this, but it was still quite amusing and had its moments.

It's funny enough in certain moments to make it overall enjoyable but it will only really entertain vegans.

Points made are made for people to more easily digest the reality behind eating meat which is quite good.

And I do think everyone needs to be a vegan for at least 5 years of their lives to rebalanced their diet.

But as entertainment I wasn't all that entertained. I will say the chocolate egg in a museum did make me laugh out loud.

Throughout most of it I was checking how much longer it would last which is obviously not a good thing.

I hope it helps create new vegans and vegetarians and rebalance the animal suffering currently taking place.
