Maybe there is no other way to make the people wake up. But it is still the wrong way. "The connection" is destroyed by shame.
Despite an abundance of affecting animal abuse footage,"Earthlings" cannot transcend its crude and didactic style.

Nous sommes au 21eme siecle, il est grand temps de mettre un peu de noblesse dans nos attitudes, de prendre conscience de nos responsabilites et donner un reel sens a ce que nous appelons "faire preuve d'humanite".
Very very excited movie, very impressive and really hard to watch.
a real horror show.
just shows that human being is the most detestable & dangerous animal and also nature's biggest mistake.

Mostly based on hidden camera footage (of various qualities) and narrated by Phoenix this film is not for those with aweak stomach. It's pretty hard to justify hamburgers or leather jackets after seeing the unnecessary brutality those unfortunate animals go through to satisfy our needs.
One of those movies that has to make you get emotionally down and "out for the count" for a while.

Great movie. Once again a movie that has to be brutally honest to get it's point across.. But... You have to do that at times.
And this time was definately one fo them.
Good job to the cast and directors.
Excellent documentary illustrating how human earthlings treat animal earthlings. Extremely informative and occasionally gory (think slaughterhouses). Everyone should watch this at least once.
Extremely gory documentary which shows the truth about how humans treaty animals for food, medical research, products and entertainment. Still failed to convert me to vegetarianism - meat FTW!
The most important documentary you'll every see. Very well-researched and very very very powerful. Can turn you vegetarian overnight. In fact, over 50 persons (54 to be exact) have told me personally that this movie was the reason they became Veggies... (read more) The most important documentary you'll every see.

Although not a bad film, there are too many contradictions with what the original thesis of the film is. Basically, its a sensationalization and few hard facts.
