The listed reviwer of this film....


Shows what kind of ass-backward thinking, leftist fruits Austin can produce. Of course, I'm referring to the point that the reviewer seems to be driving home: that, because humans slaughter animals, we are therfore disgusting, or whatever pejorative was used. Never mind the fact that there is wholesale slaughter of human beings shown-oh, NO! I suppose, since we're such a dastardly species, anyway, that those people probably deserved it. Yeah, they probably had some insurmountable sin on their heads and deserved what they got.


But the animals.....? God forbid!

yes, that needed to be pointed out!

In all fairness, at least humans are on the same ground as humans. Humans can think, reason, make tools, build fires, create cities, and most importantly- humans are the most capable of any species out there to defend themselves against other humans.

Animals? Most of them do not have a chance. They have no defense against human technology aside from the few predators that have sharp teeth, or the ability to swim faster. Ergo seeing people killing sharks is not that bad, because they are the sea's most lethal predator, and when in the shark's domain, man is the underdog, even with a bang-stick or harpoon gun.

On land man is virtually untouchable by animal defenses, therefore to me it is very disheartening to see animals slaughtered wantonly. They have no defense, except to run, and eventually die, while man reloads or sharpens his man-made weapon and kills again. We don't see animals killing other animals for fun, or for sport, they don't decimate miles and miles of arable land for the almighty dollar, and they generally take only what they need to survive.

Humans? They poison the earth, destroy in the name of industry, and kill for the sake of a trophy. So whatever with your politically charged rant against "leftist fruits". The more people that die, the better off the planet is. Spare us your hi-handed attempt at whiticism, because it is sophomoric at best. Feeling sorry for humans that are killed by humans is simply a waste of emotion given the nature of man.

Man deserves to be killed. You can draw whatever inferences about me that you like for that opinion, but I can guarantee you that I am no leftist, or rightist for that matter. And I stand by that opinion.

Just remember human "industry" has given you this medium in which to voice your opinion.

I agree with you humans is animals. Humans are worse then animals. I cried when i saw how those animals were killed. It is terrible.The part where the cattle's tendons were cut off by blacs with pangas is terrible. I am a south african citizen and things that happened in Africa Addio happened in South Africa as well.Especially the above mentioned sentence about the cattle's tendons being cut by blacks with panga's.

Sexy dancer, no need to be so rude against JM. It's about the movie, not verbs, spelling, punctuation or tenses. In fact, he is not english-speaking, so be more patient please. Thanks.
