Pseudo-intellectuals ATTENTION!!!


*beep* the turtle!! ONE scene! ONE scne! Happened 35 years ago!! Who gives a *beep*??? Yes, animal cruelty is wrong but that was 35 years ago!! Back then morals and attitudes (especially for an Italian fellow) were totally different!!!

The beautiful photography, the BEAUTIFUL score and the raw, in-your-face story is what made this film!!! A masterpiece! A work of ART!!!

Much appreciated! Thank you and good luck, SIR!

And I can't even begin to count how many cows, pigs, chickens, etc. have been killed just so my family can eat dinner. The number of animals killed in this film is nothing by comparison.

Killing animals to eat is part of nature. Killing them for a movie and then not eating them is wrong.

If I remember correctly, the animals were given as food to the tribes that were involved. Someone can fact check that for me to be certain.

The turtle *was* eaten.

Not content with glorifying the torture (Yes, if we we're talking about the same movie...) of animals for the pleasure of a paying public - You just had to go and insult the Italian director too.

Wow. I'm glad that I'm only a pseudo-intellectual... Who knows what I might conclude if I had your brilliant mighty mind.

This movie should not be banned. Although, I'm not entirely sure that every person should be permitted to watch it...

For example - Kids... Those of a sensitive disposition...You...?

Then why was the director arrested?

reply

I think it was the government of Italy which is situated in the north that took offense. Northern and Southern Italy are very different when it comes to culture.

Because they thought he actually killed people for the film. Nobody gave a flying f_ck about the turtle. He actually had to prove in a court of law that his performers were not murdered.
