An inside look at the unspeakable and horrifying ways humans and large corporations treat animals.
The most shocking, brutal, and soul-crashing horror you have ever witnessed. Earthlings has no match. It is not for the faint of heart and is one of the most challenging things to watch for the most hardcore audiences. Inarguably, it is one of the biggest challenges you will ever have to face on the screen. There are no words to describe this experience, and hats off to writer/director Shaun Monson for bringing it to life and Joaquin Phoenix for narrating it. It is unthinkable how Monson managed to do it. You will watch to avert or close your eyes while wishing for the atrocities to stop. But they will not stop. They will keep on pounding and pounding until your eyes dry up and until you are disgusted to be called “human.” You will find it unthinkable that these “people” and you are the same species, and you will reevaluate the term “animal” next time someone calls another person that.
It is by far the harshest thing I have ever watched. I tried watching it in 2005, but I couldn’t finish it. Finally, in 2013, I gained the strength to watch it and managed to quit meat. It is not pedantic, and it is not asking the audience to quit meat. It seeks to raise awareness and prompt you to consider what is sacrificed and how it is sacrificed and disgraced, before it reaches your table or is used for your everyday pleasures and luxuries.
As I pointed out, though, in Food, Inc. (2008): https://kaygazpro.com/food-inc-2008/, the change is not the desirable one. Although we are aware, we continue to turn a blind eye to a large extent. I have faith, though. Things are slowly changing, and one day, we’ll get to treat each other and animals as equals.
