It's a 13 minute documentary, and you can see the whole thing online for free at the link I provided above.

It ranks as the #2 documentary at IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/Sections/Genres/Documentary/


While it is in Portuguese, I think the point is made very clear, and by the end it's hard not to have gotten the message.

l think youre wrong.

heres what l got out of it:

tomatoes are the most eaten food in the world (?)
all the chickens (eaten? daily? existing?) weigh less than one whale (?)
tomatoes, while eaten by billions, are absolutely terrible for you (?)
etc etc...

somehow, l think at the end, l missed the message. :oops: :( :wink:

therefore, l checked imdb, looking for a plot synopsis or somethin, and l found this (and only this):

Quote:
Funny at first, demolishing in the end. When I saw this movie for the first time I spend the first minutes laughing: the editing is fast paced and the voice over explains one after another different concepts that apparently are barely connected. But in the end all grows into a perfectly mounted description of the economical and political aberrations of our times, all in less than 30 minutes.


um...no, youre wrong; by the end we know that we eat alotta tomatoes. :(

Really?

I thought it meant that the economic system as it is provides some with the resources and products that they need but at the expense of ignoring many others.


I thought it was an indigment of the current economic system, no?


:shock: :? :?:

Lol, does anyone know??????

well, it could be that l'm just really slow...:wink: :oops:
and, they seemed to be pushing tomatoe consumption to me...however, what you say does make sense, l guess, looking back...and that sounds like a "description of the economical and political aberrations"...(l'm assuming the person who wrote that (although l think german) understood Portuguese and knows what he's typin bout...:oops: )

so, l'll agree8)


either way, it's very interesting...

btw, l watched it like 45 seconds after waking up, so maybe l was just not concentrating on the message as much as the visuals...

0h well...:oops:
