Diana i'll watch the movie when i can, i can tell you what happens! i doubt it has suffering animals but i'll let you know. i defo wanna see it. she's working within the system to change the way animals are treated. she's like the patron saint of cows.
i think the pressure helps cuz... it just does. i know it helps me. whenever i've had a sensation of being flattened and squeezed i've felt better.
Thanks, and do let me know when you see it. I know you will understand what I am trying to avoid.
Okay, I just finished watching the movie. Cried a lot on this one! There were several moments that would be too disturbing for a sensitive, in my opinion. So put on your thick armor before you watch it.
A great movie about an autistic person excelling against the odds, and treating animals more humanely although they still have no problem with killing them. It is a step in the right direction, but it is far from promoting vegetarianism; more of a humane treatment of animals kind of film.
Having seen this, I am now even more against the killing of animals for food when ample veggies are available. A very well done movie. Thanks to this thread for bringing it to my attention.
Thank you fr33d0m. I have had friends say that it was okay to watch, but my intuition told me otherwise. I have no thick armor :/.
Every little step counts. That's how we evolve.
Information must be the first step in awareness generally. I remember seeing the movie The Horse Whisperer. The whole movie is engaged in identifying with the trauma a horse went through, being sensitive to the horse, and loving the horse. Then, in the middle of the movie like some macabre interlude, was a happy cowboy scene complete with happy cowboy music, of branding cows with a hot iron after throwing them on the ground. I was horrified. This is the level of disconnect humans have regarding animals. The horse was seen as a being who needed healing, but the cows were just disregarded.
