Super Size Me Review

Super Size Me was written and directed by Morgan Spurlock. It was released through Roadside Attractions in 2004.
Though the film was a documentary, it used humor and mild gross out to keep it interesting. Like some of the statistics and how after two days of the McDiet he throws up. Different audiences would take this in different ways. Some obese and diabetic Americans could have their eyes opened, while others could say he's making fun of fat Americans, though it would make no sense.
The film depicts how an American in perfect health would survive in a lifestyle of a typical American, which consists of eating a LOT of McDonalds, hardly walking, and not exercising, all to see if it could make you sick and even possibly kill you. It was interesting to see how doing that to yourself over time can actually put you in jeopardy. The depression aspect was also quite interesting. Who knew fast food could make you be like that? And all the ways that McDonalds markets to kids and adults alike, its kind of scary. Also, it was really weird how McDonalds would never answer his calls just to have an interview. Probably the scariest was how the kids had no idea who Jesus or the President of the United States were, yet they all knew who Ronald McDonald was, and how the people in D.C. didn't know the Pledge of Allegiance, but they knew the jingle for a Big Mac. Come on America!
This message is being sent because people need to be aware of what they are putting in their bodies. It was amazing what all the food did to him. Depression, weight gain, even the threat of liver failure. And that's the food they are serving to your children and that you're eating yourself.
This film didn't seem to have a big amount to do with God himself, but it did have alot to do with morals and taking care of yourself. For example, McDonalds is producing food that is potentially hazardous, and they're not the only one. And until recently, they would hide or not even have nutritional facts posted anywhere. But its not just the fast food companies. People are taking cabs and driving more, eating crazy amounts of ridiculously unhealthy food, and rarely exercising if at all. If we don't open our eyes, we could become fat slobby people like on Wall-E.
