    Is it our future ?!

    Plastic Planet is a documentary, directed by Werner Boote. This is the « story » of a man who tries to gather studies about plastic effects (on human health) for industries take the dangerous substances out of it. This movie is interesting; we realize that plastic is everywhere and unsafe for human health, but some thing are said several times and some scenes are not very attractive, for example the one with parts of human corpses conserved to do some art. Then, there are some boring parts, for instance when he (Werner Boote) walks and he's looking for the manager of plastic industry. Actually, this movie is interesting but a little bit boring. In my opinion, if you want to appreciate the film : watch it in several times when you're calm and when you want to learn about plastic. Finally, my opinion is mixed. As far I'm concerned, I've found it attractive despite the long and boring parts. My advice is to watch it and judge by yourself ... so, watch it and try to enjoy !

    to see once .

    Plastic Planet is Werner Boote's documentary about the dangers of plastic . In this Documentary , Werner Boote , the grand son of an ex boss of plastic industry, seeks some answer about the dangers of plastic on human health .He goes in factory areas ,but the majority of companies refuse his camera . To illustrate the plastic invasion , he choose three families everywhere in the world , and these families show all plastic objects . It's an interesting documentary , just a bit too long ant repetitive ant it made to scare persons looking this movie . It's a universal public documentary , just need to understand all things . In conclusion , I think all people have to see this film , but with other persons to have a discussion later .

    PLASTIC PLANET ( 2011 )

    Plastic Planet is a documentary exits cinema since 2008. The documentary speaks the environment and pollution. The grandfather was industry employee in plastic. We use the plastic since we were small and it's we things not dangerous. And yet, the grandfather is death...

    Plastic Planet is very interesting documentary because it speaks Plastic material and it shows that the plastic material is dangerous for health. It's a very string point the documentary. However, there are many boring moments... Plastic Planet is repetitive.

    If I should rename the documentary it : « a dangerous material without known it »to prevent the habitants but plastic material is used daily. STOP pollution ! I don't like the documentary in general because it's too long. And yet, I like Plastic Planet although it's too long but Plastic planet very interesting informations.

    As a conclusion : It's very interesting documentary and you learn things.

    Director : Werner BOOTE. Genre : Documentary. Country : Austria. Cinema : September 2011.

    "Plasticonspiracy"

    Do you really want to know about Plastic? Do you? You know that those who are oblivious are most likely to be better off. So are you sure you want to watch this? I guess so. But then again, it's not like big secrets will get revealed. It's just that things get spoken out, that you might have thought about and forget ever since. Or are just trying to ignore. So will this help remember?

    Isn't it ironic me writing this on my plastic keyboard and you reading this on your monitor, that has all kinds of plastic too. Not as ironic as watching it on (plastic) Disc. But then again, how else would you be able to get (that little) information they are giving out.

    A movie that quite possibly might change your perspective on a few things, but don't expect it too boost you or make you happy-go-lucky.

    A little summary of ''Plastic Planet''

    Werner Boote is the director of documentary '' Plastic Planet''. He traveled around the world to answer a simple question : plastic are dangerous for planet and human health ? Werner Boote is Austrian. His grand-father worked in big plastic company in Europe. At the start of his journey, a big boss of a big plastic industry met Werner Boote and said '' We are in The Plastic Age ''. I agree with him because all objects around us made with plastic. Then, we know that pollution is global problem, let's take an example: Oceans, with with documentary, we learn that lots of fishes die every day because of pollution. In this documentary, we travel in lots of countries in the world to discover why plastic is dangerous for human health. Let's take an example; we learn that plastic gives cancers.

    Anyway, I totally agree with Werner Boote; I'm convinced that Plastic is a global problem for the pollution and for human health. So, if you want to learn a bit more your world, watch this documentary. Then, it is very pleasant, musics are attractive and it is easy to understand. It is an essential documentary for all the family.

    • Quotes

      Fred vom Saal: So it's not just that you're infertile. You are unfortunately fertile enough to produce an abnormal baby. Anything stored in a polycarbonate container will contain Bisphenol A, 100%. It is certain. It is an indirect food additive. Anything stored in Bisphenol A should have Bisphenol A listed as a component of the food you are eating. What's the difference between what is put in by the food processor or what is put in as a result of the food packager? If you can legally create a situation where the food processor must tell you, why can't you create a situation where the food packager must tell you? The food packager in the United States happens to be the biggest chemical companies in the world: General Electric, Dow Chemical, uh, Shell Oil for many years, uh, you know, Bayer, Mitsubishi, these are very, very powerful corporations, and they have tremendous power over politicians.
