DVD Reviews of EARTHLINGS

DVD Review: Who are the barbarians?
Summary: 5 Stars

When I saw this film, I can only question our humanity. Who are the barbarians? Everyone should see this. Its not easy. I howled and trembled, but I thought.....so what? The animals are the ones EXPERIENCING the pain....NOT ME!!!!I wish every single human would watch this documentary. Maybe.....MAYBE things will change and our beautiful co-beings on this planet will be able to live and breath as they were born to do. Please watch this film and don't look away. Its a must for the survival of life. Their life as well as ours.

AMAZING! Everyone who eats or dosn't eat meat should watch this film, it is made for Earthlings...those creatures who share the earth.

DVD Review: i agree this movie is life changing!
Summary: 5 Stars

I recently watched this movie and having been a vegetarian for over 20 years i had a good idea what i was about to see..boy was i wrong. This movie did infact change my life, even though i had been a vegetarian for 20 plus years i still wore leather eat dairy ect. After watching 10 minutes of this movie i found myself crying out loud say alone in my apartment. I felt like i had been ignorant to the suffering of animals even though i was a vegetarian for many many years, i became Vegan over night always thinking that being Vegan was to hard or to extreme i know realize its the very least we can do for animals. I find it interesting that a lot of the reviews for this movie after watching it people are changed by it.. that is the power of the images that although hard to watch are the least we can do to understand how we as individuals can help aniamls, i beg everyone who has yet to see this movie borrow, rent or buy it ... it will change you and for the better.

DVD Review: No words can describe it
Summary: 5 Stars

Several haunting images will not leave me... maybe for a long time. I watched an animal being skinned alive and stared into the eyes of its living, breathing carcass of inside out skin, its raw flesh surely on fire... I wished upon all that is holy that it wasn't true. How could you, how could anyone be that cruel?

I am not a rabid animal rights activist, and I am a supporter of hunting as long as meat is eaten hy humans in this world, as I believe at least animals killed in the wild were given the opportunity to live their own life...

With that being said... I am on the verge (grappling with myself and my personal love for good tasting meat) of giving up meat products because of the treatment standards being practiced. I have studied some of this at my university before, but I suppose until now it has not really hit home. Bravo for printing these images in my mind, as it is true a picture speaks a thousand words. Maybe it took this long to realize what my personal impact really is.

Would I recommend this movie? Without question! I would show my children, my friends, my enemies and my pets this movie. I have been encouraging any and all to see the movie. If not to change their lives, at least to show them where their meat really comes from, and that there are other ways to end torture.

DVD Review: Abysmal, heartbreaking TRUTH.
Summary: 5 Stars

This film isn't a conspiracy theory. It's not some weird, skewed perspective on how animals are treated on a daily and hourly basis. It's a harsh, open-eyed presentation of facts, and the facts are horrifying. Phoenix narrates a broad array of footage detailing homo sapiens appalling mistreatment, torture, and slaughter of animals. The footage is often difficult to watch, and some images will stay with you for a long, long time. This is the first time, for instance, that I have seen footage of a live skinning of a dog in China. Words can't describe my visceral and emotional reaction to this, but it should be seen. As Phoenix says, quoting Ralph Waldo Emerson: "You have just dined, and however scrupulously the slaughterhouse is concealed in the graceful distance of miles, there is complicity."

This film offers footage that most people would rather not see, and rather not contemplate. But, as the saying goes, "we must not refuse to see with our eyes what they must endure with their bodies." _Earthings_ presents a straightforward record of our daily, appalling mistreatment, murder, and exploitation of animals--for food, for entertainment, for so-called science, most importantly for MONEY. Everyone who benefits, perhaps unknowingly, from this cruelty should watch it, and judge for themselves.

This should be essential viewing.

Description of EARTHLINGS

Narrated by Academy Award nominee Joaquin Phoenix (WALK THE LINE, GLADIATOR), EARTHLINGS is a feature-length documentary about humankind's absolute economic dependence on animals raised as pets, food, clothing, entertainment and for scientific research. Using hidden cameras and never-before-seen footage, EARTHLINGS chronicles the day-to-day practices at some of the largest industries in the world, all of which rely entirely on animals for profit. Powerful, informative and thought-provoking, EARTHLINGS is by far the most comprehensive documentary ever produced on the correlation between nature, animals and human economic interests.
