Speciesism: The Movie (2013)

Great Film overall

best movie i've ever seen.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Humans tend to think of themselves as superior for the most part. We are not: our callousness for allowing our society for force itself to think of animals as our 'supply-and-demand' bucket is shown in all its disgusting glory in full-force on this documentary. Supplement this with other videos/blogs/articles/news/etc. detailing the atrocities we subject our counterpart equals (yes, animals - all of them) to.Animals are here with us to teach us compassion, love, and to live life from beginning to end with their families and how they choose. If you don't believe otherwise and still choose to blindly subject yourself to modern-day inexcusable cannibalism (unknowingly, unwillingly or otherwise), this documentary can help you out should you need any guidance for an open heart.This may not me much of a review more than it's a personal view of wanting anyone who needs some clarification to watch this for the sake of animal's lives - they are counting on your decision :)

This documentary was brilliantly pieced together. I absolutely loved how Mark took the side of the sceptic and questioned everything as a meat eater would. He left no question unanswered. I felt the same as another reviewer-I was concerned about the possibility of having to watch another film with a lot of graphic content. This film didn't have that. It explained this social justice movement on an intellectual level and he included a lot of humour. It was a refreshing take on an otherwise very graphic and violent subject. I sincerely hope this gets aired in schools, on TV.. the public needs to see this film. I've seen this documentary twice and I bought copy so I could show it to friends.

NATURE IS AMORAL, BUT HUMANS NEED NOT BEThere is no suffering that humans inflict on nonhuman animals that we do not also inflict on humans. But the vast difference is that the suffering we inflict on humans is seen as wrong by most decent people worldwide -- and it is also against the law. Not so for animals. They are not protected by the law and most of us are not only unaware of their agony in breederies and slaughterhouses and in their destroyed habitats, but we are actively sustaining it as consumers. Most of us believe, for example, (1) that meat is obtained humanely, and (2) that it is necessary for our survival and health. Both of these beliefs are profoundly, tragically and demonstrably wrong. Reducing and eventually abolishing the gratuitous suffering that our species is inflicting on other species is one of the most pressing moral imperatives of our age. This film will help open the eyes and hearts of decent people worldwide to the enormity of the agony of innocent, helpless creatures at the hands of our species, to the fact that their suffering is unnecessary, and to the urgency of adopting laws to protect them.

Fantastic movie that accomplishes what it sets out to do and that is to delve into the question of why we treat some species "special" while we manage to disregard the other billions we are consuming. An engaging film that explores hidden truths in a clever and non- confrontational manner. It's an easy-going ride whose journey unravels like a well plotted mystery. The most surprising answer at the end is what digests in your own mind regarding we human animals vs. the "others" and how it will influence your future choices regarding the foods you eat, the clothes you wear or the type of entertainment you're willing to buy. It's a real mind opener. It challenges preconceived notions about 99% of the world we live in. A must see! Highly recommended!
