FastFood Nation


FAST FOOD NATION



Hi people, its been awhile since ive blogged. Since i recently caught a movie, might as well share it with you peeps. As the topic suggests, the title of the picture is Fast Food Nation. Its certainly no block busters, and its a film my girl and i caught juz to kill time at the mall. I juz briefly read about it on some movie reviews, and to be honest after we bought the tixs, i asked shuxian "Hmm... you think this movie can watch anot?" haha... and we both had this look, expect nothing~ HA!

Without any expectations and thinking i put in my $$$ for some crappy movie, we sat dwn as the shw began. The movie does not boast superb computer graphics, or Hollywood style pyrotechnics, however its full of conversations, boring you say?

The movie draws out the exploitations of mexicians who tries to cross the U.S border to work there. Of course you might ask, how these mex-hi-cos are related to the title of the movie? In the movie it shows how the beef patties are manufactured in industrious proportions, ranches full of cows, and a slaughter house as bloody it can get. The end result = crappy patties. It seems some research has shown that the beef patties contains bull crap, due to improper gutting of the cows. The manager of the fast food chain is sent down to investigate only to find out how the beef patty house operates throught the exploitations of mexicans who were untrained.

My Faveourite Scene: The slaughtering of Cows...lol....seriously... its good, but honestly, during the last few moments of the cow slaughter i swear that i wouldnt eat any beef frm then... ok well at least for that few minutes. Trust me...although it is said these domestic animals are slaughtered in the most "humane" way possible... it will change ur mind on that~

The movie is rated M18, with some mild sexual content and a few minutes of cow slaughtering~

I would say 3 stars to this film~

Do catch this movie if you guys have the spare time, its reali food for thought, haha. Of cos at the end both me and shuxian agreed its a worth watching film~


Gracias my amigos~ Mel
