I'm loving it!!

I love movies! I really do! So much of what we watch resembles our day to day lives. The best type of movie, isn't the blockbuster that makes 300 million nationally and 600 million worldwide; it's the picture that is meant to wake your ass up. Fast Food Nation depicts the the epidemic that plagues this country we live in. Say good bye to the good old days where the majority of life had a personal touch and embrace an age of automated systems and yes, fastfood. This film preaches how we as a nation have grown so impatient, that we rather eat a processed shit infested burger from a cow who suffers madly from all types of diseases. This speaks volumes in describing human nature. Rarely do we care what happens to the person to the left of us, so should we really care whether or not some multi-billion dollar corporation will flood our bodies with some taste, increasingly expensive quisne that has been processed to turn as much profit as possible. The film is more about a processed life than it food. The processed way people say "I love you." The many pictures depicting the very same weekend you had a week earlier. The beautiful captions telling us how much fun you had. I am just sick of you beautiful processed people.is another example of how life is like the movies or the movies being like life.
