Dom, 25, XVX.
I run a vegan lifestyle/record store called V Revolution in Manchester, UK with my housemate Chris. I occasionally put out tapes for bands under the name Suburban Miasma, and I sing in a band called Esoteric Youth.
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
So I just watched this.
It was interesting but definitely lawed in places; it seemed that characters would abandon the narrative to talk about animal rights/the meat & dairy industry in a way that almost broke the fourth wall. Maybe this was a weakness in the script/acting/directing, or perhaps it was an intentional technique to reinforce the idea that although this events of the film were fictional, the horrendous treatment of animals was entirely true. I don’t know.
I generally prefer documentaries about movements to dramatisations of them, but this is probably more immediately accessible, and if someone watches this and decides to educate themselves about veganism or the entirely ludicrous Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act, then that rules.
This was going to be a proper review, but whatever. Fuck you, go vegan.
