Something he said resonated with me. I read a book about how farm animals are social beings with emotions and feel physical pain. Humans are cruel towards them without thinking about it. Keeping them in small cage where they can't move, hooking them up to machines to force milk out of their bodies for hours each day, slaughtering them.

Phoenix was saying cows feel emotion when you take their newborn. Then, we take the milk meant for their newborn and put it in our coffee. It does sound bizarre.

This is who he is. Have you seen Earthlings, 2005? It's a very disturbing documentary about human abuse and consumption of animals for profit. He's a very serious person and this is one of his passions.
Anyway, he is the narrator of the film. See it. It will make you change some things in your life. Maybe.

reply

i've seen earthlings, & also dominion from 2018, which he narrated along with rooney mara & was also on that topic.

i haven't watched phoenix's speech yet, but i've read a bit about it. i know he can come across as a bit kooky or cringey or self-serious at times, but whatever you might want to say about him, he appears to live by the principles he talks about, & i think he deserves credit for that. by all appearances, his actions are consistent with his words.

It is wrong. We wouldn’t allow this treatment for our beloved dogs or cats. The terror they face on slaughter day is sickening. “Lambs to the slaughter” indeed.

HE IS QUICKLY TURNING INTO HIS CHARACTER FROM IM STILL HERE.

reply

he is just weird.

reply

I ASSUMED THE HYPER WEIRD VERSION OF HIMSELF THAT HE PLAYED IN "IM STILL HERE" WAS A COMEDIC INVENTION...IM STARTING TO REALIZE THATS JUST HIM.

reply

cults will do that.

reply

He's been off lately. Normally he is strange, but quiet. Now he's just going off on social justice issues.

reply

Honestly I don't think he'll win another Oscar anytime soon because the Academy is like that. They're like okay you've gotten your honor so go off and make some more movies or not, you won't get any nominations for a while after that speech.

reply

Worst acceptance speech of the night! He must have taken his cue from DeNiro and just had to turn a simple thank you into a socio/political statement.

reply

He's getting crazy. Like Joker.

reply

Probably getting ready for Joker 2 lol

reply

I thought he doesn't do sequels?

reply

He will now since he has an Oscar AND the film did so well at the Box Office. Pay someone enough money they'll do a sequel, trust me.

reply

Probably he will insist so that the title won't be Joker 2... maybe The Clown Prince of Crime or Mr.J, and pretend that it's not really a sequel.

reply

LOL that's true. Hopefully they bring Batman in to make it a bit more DC-ish

reply

He probably got dosed with something as payback for disrespecting Royalty. It wouldn't be the first time...

reply

Very preachy speech and Renee's one wasn't far behind for rambling, after the fun speeches from Bong Joon Ho. They are his beliefs and good on him but how many times does he need to say eating meat is bad.

reply

I thought it was a moo-ving speech 🐄
