The domestication of cattle is the second greatest human achievement to date, second only to the taming of fire. Getting the humble ox on our side allowed for agriculture, the cow for having more children, and the bull for disposing of a large source of protein. There is a reason why the first letter of the alphabet is alpha, aleph, apis, the ox. Beth is the house, gimel the camel. To the Phoenicians, the ox was more valuable than the house or the camel.
I was lucky enough to get this movie w/ english Subtitles, it was an absolutely eye-opening, beautiful, sad, emotional documentary... You get a peek into the farmers lives as they continue to struggle in their daily lives with their "old world" farming, and the relationship they have with their 40 year old Ox, it moved me to tears because you can see how much they rely on the Ox, how much they love him, the Farmer even handed picks the Oxes food every day for fear the old ox would eat pesticides
cont... And the farmer’s wife keeps telling him, sell the ox, sell the ox.. because she is worried that as long as the ox is alive he will keep going to the fields and working with his ill health, so he brings the Ox the market and refuses to sell it for such a low price, and brings the Ox back home...The old Ox does finally pass away, but not before he has carried all of his beloved owners firewood to the house for the winter, he did is for so many years and knew when he was done.....I cried
The best film I've seen this year. My parents used to live this lifestyle back in their respective countries and it's bittersweet to see them have a similar relationship like these folks.
DVD will release in Spring(3/31/10), 2010. You can visit any store Best Buy, Circuit City, Borders, Barn & Noble, etc in US. You can ask us directly if you need.
