Fast Food Nation, Part II
May 20
2006
Okay, I'm a little clearer on this Fast Food Nation movie. Here's the description from Salon.com:
Ohhhhhhhhkay. A few things about this movie: A) it stars Greg Kinnear (as much as it stars anybody), not Ethan Hawke, B) the final scenes were apparently filmed inside a real Mexican slaughterhouse, and were so gruesome that none of the cast has eaten a burger since, and C) it is CONFIRMED that there is no chance (EVER!!!) of me going to see it.
"Linklater's film (co-written with Schlosser) is an episodic docudrama about a large group of fictional characters connected to the corporate beef industry in a single Colorado town -- from a fast-food chain executive to burger-flipping high school students to ranchers and undocumented immigrant workers -- and concludes with horrific real-life scenes of cattle being slaughtered and rendered into hamburger in a meat-packing plant."
