Fast Food Movie Reviews Samples For Students

One of the most widespread epidemics in the United States is childhood obesity. More and more kids are turning to fast food chains for their lunches and dinners because of ease and taste. One documentary went out to prove that going this route is not only unhealthy for you, but it is also detrimental to the society as a whole. Morgan Spurlock states “40 percent of Americans eat out” (Spurlock 2004) which adds to the ever growing epidemic. People are choosing to eat out rather than cook a meal at home. Morgan Spurlock’s Super Size Me set out to prove ...

In the past years, movies marked as “based on real events” appear more often. Moreover, some of the researchers, as well as ordinary viewers claim that almost every movie is based on real events. The point is that sometimes directors as well as screen play writers tend to exaggerate the importance and cruelty of some events. In the most cases, it happens in horror movies or some documentaries. The point is that the main idea of every documentary is to convince people in something. This essay is devoted to the issue of veracity of the events in three movies: ...

1. What is the title of the film, what (brief summary) is it about (subject, topic)?

The title of the film is “Super Size Me”. This film is a documentary by Morgan Spurlock in which he wants to investigate the way that McDonald’s food affects the body. He does so by eating only McDonald’s food for 30 days and documenting the negative effects that it has on his body. The film is called “Super Size Me” because, as part of the experiment, Spurlock was required to “Super Size” his meal whenever he was asked by a McDonald’s ...

Abstract
In the documentary film, “Fed Up,” there is a frightening look inside America’s health crisis involving obesity. The lack of real food in American diets is to blame. The entities behind creating this problem are the big corporations in America that manufacture these foods. These “foods” are processed foods, with high sugar content that can lead to numerous health problems including heart disease and diabetes. Advertisers are marketing processed foods made of high sugar content to young children and putting sugar into the formulas to get them while they’re young. They have people hooked on sugar, ...

Introduction

Super Size Me, the 2004 documentary directed by and starring Morgan Spurlock, explored Spurlock’s own experimentation with going on a McDonald’s-only diet for a consecutive thirty days. Being a vegetarian and generally active person, this transformation became incredibly dramatic, with dramatic changes in weight, mood, chemical makeup, sex drive and more. The documentary poses the question of how culpable McDonald’s customers are in their own health habits, or whether or not McDonald’s themselves are responsible for the increasing obesity and health problems found in America. Looking at these questions, and the documentary itself, through the ethical perspectives of ...

Documentary Food Inc., directed by Robert Kenner, is telling a story about food industry that is in control by huge corporations. Documentary itself is divided in several smaller portions that are connected. Every topic is well covered and explained, with appropriate witnesses and facts. Sometimes documentary is shocking and hard to believe. Shocking to see enormous fields full of cows that are waiting to be slaughtered and transformed to products. Fields full of corn, so long and wide that seems as there is no end to it. Hard to imagine how is possible to keep human population in dark and ...

Morgan Spurlock wanted to answer the question of “What would happen if someone ate McDonald’s food for every meal of every day for a month?” in light of criminal suits leveled against the fast food giant. Throughout the documentary, he highlights the philosophic dilemma at the center of the litigation: Where does the responsibility of the obesity epidemic fall? On one hand, you could ask, “Shouldn’t a person know not to eat fast food too often and that it’s harmful for them? If they eat too much, then that’s their fault.” And, on the ...

With every new scene in the movie, we come up with a perception that Linklater simply covers his genuine message with an allegory of fast food nation. While watching it, we understand that it is unbelievably hard to get away from vicious circle. We are going to see how the companies decide what we eat, how people lose the parts of their bodies working on an assembly line, how the circumstances affect ordinary people in the plant, how they try to find the purpose of their life and to maintain their existence with relatively normal income.

The documentary which I chose for this analysis is Super Size Me. This documentary film uses the mega-fast-food corporation, McDonalds, as its subject matter. The entire documentary is an experiment conducted by Morgan Spurlock on himself where he spends an entire month eating nothing but McDonald’s meals. He had several rules as to how he would go about the experiment so that it would be a solid, scientific research effort which would be usable and reproducible. His rules were: (1) Eat McDonald’s meals 3 times a day, (2) Consume all the items on the menu once over the one ...
