Carnage: Swallowing the Past

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.

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.

Simon Amstell did a brilliant job with this mockumentary. It shows, in a nutshell, everything that is wrong with today's food trends and eating habits. And I am even not vegan. Yet. This will make me reconsider.

I'd recommend this film to every person.

People feel judged before a vegan even opens their mouth's. Guilt and annoyance are very common associations with the vegan movement. Here, Simon Amstell, wipes that slate clean. We are all equally mocked and the absurdity creates equality so that we can all relax and watch a simultaneously informative, moving and utterly hilarious film. Whatever you eat you are, without a doubt, in for a treat. It's truly remarkable.

"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.
