Carnage: Swallowing the Past

I've never seen a use of humor in this way to promote veganism, but i sure like it. This film is absurd, but also hilarious! Too bad it's only on BBC iplayer on the UK cause i would spread it in theaters. Simon Amstell is one hell of a guy. So show it to your friends. C'mon, I dare you.

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.

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.

"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.

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.
