Jim Jefferies: This Is Me Now (2018)
He's better than us, He's a story teller
Jim is funny as always, but the stories are so long, funny and well connected that it's just unbeleivable. Can't really understand why there's so many bad reviews.
Cannibal Holocaust (1980)
I wonder who the real cannibals are?
At the beginning sorry for bad English. I liked this movie a lot, and since his rating here is 6, I needed to find out why it is so low, so I read many user's comments. Non of them didn't mentioned that this movie is about capitalistic society. When professor talks to the lady from TV network he says something like: "Would you like people to make money of your misery?" that reminded me of a quote from Carl Marks "Capital" in which he says: "Capital is a vampire that sucks out the life from the worker." And that is exactly how capitalist society works. Workers are forced to work much for small wage cause they have family to feed, they get only the small piece of what they earn, and the rest goes to capitalist who gets richer and richer every day. The other thing that made me to think this way is that at the end when professor say the last line: "I wonder who the real cannibals are?", camera focuses on the skyscrapers that somehow reminded me of the pyramids that were build on the suffering of the slaves. The 3rd thing is that Alan and his documentary crew is literally eaten by their desire for money, success and fame,cause modern society force you to wish for these thing and don't leave alternative for happiness and self-satisfaction.
So we must ask ourselves who are the real savages. Are they the jungle people who will kill a man for food or the ones who byes 50 million $ yacht while millions of people starve to death?
When this movie was made this wasn't such a big problem but today we must think how to force the big companies to cut their profits in order to save environment or we all might soon be eaten by desire for progress and profit. To do that we must change the foundation of society as we know it now.
