The Power of the Dog (2021)
Shame on all of the people involved for the animal abuse
I don't care how brilliant the acting or writing is or how many awards this movie might be nominated for. There is never an excuse for animal abuse. I also stopped watching this when Cumberbatch started whipping the horse. That poor animal (a sentient being) was clearly terrified. There's never a need to abuse animals for the simple sake of film making. Shame on Campion, Cumberbatch, and Netflix, and the entire cast and crew who stood by and watched, thinking this was okay for the sake of making a film. I read there are other cases of animal abuse in this movie so I'm glad I stopped watching it. Campion should be held accountable. I will never watch another Campion film or another film with Cumberbatch. This movie was boring to boot.
I Am Not a Witch (2017)
Tragic and excellent film
I felt the need to post a review about this film. It was a moving and tragic film. It was far from comic and I found no part of this movie to be funny to any degree. I lived in Sub-Saharan Africa for several years. This film is nothing but tragic. There's no mention if it's a true story but I'd be willing to bet that it is. I very much look forward to seeing more movies from this talented producer.
Smash the Kitty (2003)
Tasteless and Offensive
Since when is it funny or comical or even entertaining to drop a living thing into a well from which there is no escape and it will die?
What kind of person would consider this funny or any sort of entertainment? Would it be just as funny if it were a dog? Would the title be considered funny if it was called 'Smash the Puppy'? How is this funny and what kind of person would watch this? Just another example of the prejudicial feelings people have against cats. Would it be as hilarious if she dropped a puppy down the well instead? Shame on the people who wrote this and the actors and actresses who did this. What if someone made a short movie about dropping their pets down a well? Shame on all of you.
Casuistry: The Art of Killing a Cat (2004)
Disgusting, repulsive , morally reprehensible
Anyone who makes a documentary about such a horrific, inhumane, repulsive, morally reprehensible act is condoning it and might as well have done it themselves. There SHOULD BE a lot of fuss made about this film and the footage which inspired it because it's horrific! That this wasn't immediately seen as a horrific crime is a sad statement on the world we live in and humanity itself. Does no one see that these three men, lead by Jesse Power, are deranged and a serious threat to society at large? It's a matter of time before they do it again to another animal or a person. They are seriously mentally disturbed and should be locked away where they can't do this again.
Where is the human decency and compassion for an innocent, helpless, defenseless, trusting animal which was probably someone's pet?! Does no one see that these three men are potential psychopaths? For the judge to say that 'there are worse ways for a cat to die', and for the gallery owners to say 'who are they to say what is or isn't art', what kind of world do we live in? And for a fellow reviewer to say that the act itself was a 'tad bit much', that's a smug, arrogant SOB. Anyone who's actually interested in viewing this documentary or the original footage is probably harboring sick, demented, twisted tendencies and is dangerous. That includes the people who made this documentary. The inhumanity is astounding! May Jesse Powers and his two accomplices perish in the same horrifying, brutal way they killed that poor defenseless, helpless cat - skinned alive, disemboweled with dental tools and eyes gauged out - because that's exactly what they deserve. Shame on you, Toronto!!!
