kristianszalans-29553 Raises awareness, overall slightly lacks analytical perspective. There are only a few, but considerably weird bits with sexual jokes and some gender panic.

Owen Whittaker Has a lot of information that is at once provocative to even the dullest mind.There can be no doubting the importance of this kind of media coverage.Plastic bags = self destruction.The data and imagery, the accuracy, it is all blindingly serious.There is a slight absurdity about it all and this is well suited to the topic which is easily argued as the purest form of absurdity.There is none more insane then our destruction of what we have and are, self sabotage while ignorance is bliss.Its good that it has a global slant despite forcing the U.S condition.I recommend this movie for all people. Hippies and non hippies alike. It should be essential educational material.

evening1 This movie follows up on the famous line from "Mrs. Robinson" by showing just how indispensible, polluting, and even murderous plastics have become. Jeb is a genial guide through the world of entrenched plastic consumption and his message is both compelling and tragic. How sad that our litigious world is set up so you can't use your own packaging -- say, as you go through a McDonald's drive-thru -- even if you'd want to.Parts of the movie are humorous. My eight-year-old son and I had to laugh during the scene where well-meaning Jeb buys more than he plans and struggles to leave the store without a bag.Other parts of the movie were rather chilling, for example, when he talked about toxicity and children. And then of course you have the thousands of sea animals who choke to death.The movie has affected me strongly and I use less plastic now. I hope lots of people can see this.

whiteandblackcheckers This movie drastically changed my life. I was already a reusable bag-user, but it altered my perception on all of the other plastic things in our lives. It was shocking how much of the side effects/destruction plastic is doing we don't all know, and that's what really inspired me to make a change. Plastic is SO detrimental, I wish it just wasn't even invented. I recommend this film to all viewers.It's not just some hippie documentary, but for all people of all races, classes, age, sex, etc.
