Manufactured Landscapes

[ParadiseBlue369]

Fantastic clip.. we have ruined this wonderful planet. (2 people didn't like what they saw)

[owenswiderski]

Brilliant perspective on the environmental and health effects from this age of consumption.

[PuppyLawsuit]

this movie was unbelievably eye-opening!

[michellemusic22]

I like how this documentary isn't biased or put out there to make you feel horrible and live in fear. He is showing us that it is what it is. Any negative feelings you have during this documentary is your own moral dilemma.

[dmc3]

aren't all the opinions spouted in this film bloody obvious enough already? God most of these big art photographers do talk a lot of bollocks don't they. Wish they'd stick to just the visual commentary which is what they're famous for after all. No denying the images look good. Maybe I'll watch this film with no sound.

It is to the advantage of those that profit from the destruction of our world that woud convince you that you can do nothing.

Remember the old adage: If you believe one person alone can have no effect, Remember the effect a single mosquito can have in a room at night.

Those of you who plan on seeing this movie should also check out KOYAANISQATSI. Different style, but similar message

voluntary human extinction and anticonservationism

we saw this in our Eng. class and were made to do a group discussion on this topic...quite interesting actually..

[tristanlp]

People living in rich countries and enjoying their "with born" wealth, how many of them know the world they are standing on or care about what kind of life their grandsons and granddaughters are going to have.

It is one simple perspective from one country and there are a lot that we know and we should know. Let's awake from vanity fairs and face our only place to live in. Together we can make a difference.

[cw505]

seriously, dude.

people do not/ are not able to comprehend what the true effect of their consuption has on the earth, society, etc...

[tristanlp]

I suggest every individual who possesses the senses of responsibility and morality watch this film, especially those "esteemed" business students like us. We proudly believe that we are the most talented ones who are playing around with green papers and rock the corporate systems. We don't give a shit to where our happy lives come from or who made the keyboard you are typing on. What do you know about CSR and how do you understand your current living standard how do you think about the truth.

[Volgin93]

That's right. But even if we'd give a shit, would it change our live? I don't think so. 'Cause you can't control where from your things are. I mean, almost all companys produce their things in coubntries like China, Korea and so in. It's much cheaper for them and for us. So all in all we can't change anything.

It may appear to be a hopeless cause, but we CAN CHANGE. The process may take a long time; anywhere from a 1 year to a couple decades, but it is possible. Just study your history and you'll know that there is always hope. So stop being so pessimistic. If you still don't believe, then check out how much of an impact The Cove has made and continues to make.

@ RadioactiveChris:

Excellent points. People often forget how much of an impact one person can have on the future (or even the present.)

There's an old Chinese proverb, something to the affect of "the beating of a butterfly's wings will cause a hurricane on the other side of the world".

Everything is interconnected, and even if a small pebble is dropped in the pond, the ripples will always spread outward.

Thank you for posting this. I linked to it to give someone a reference when I told them about this film. I was definitely impressed by the movie and would highly recommend it.

[amylynnmiltown]

the single most hauntingly beautiful opening shot to a film i have ever witnessed. ed burtynsky is who i aspire to be as a photographer. :)

[occultdestroyer]

A very nice documentary! The world is totally fucked up

[TravelerFilms]

Have you heard of the United Nations Documentary Film Festival? Drop me a line, I'll give you the details. This will definitely address one of the 8 millennium goals set out by all 191-member nations to be addressed by 2015.

[NirreFirre]

Seems balanced and sober, will it get good coverage or distribution? Probably not..

[youthinasia1979]
