"SUPER SIZE ME"

The movie "super size me" is a very moving film directed and written by Morgan Spurlock. It was nominated for Oscar in the category for Best Documentary in 2005 along with five wins and five nominations from various awards. Obesity gradually increased it's percent here in United States and one of the cause was fast food companies. "Super size me" showed the audience to be fully aware of what can fast food do to their own health by making the film as a documentary in able to relate to people how fast food corporations affect the consumers. The movie used real characters, like Spurlock who was also the creator of the film and other real people who plays themselves as real characters. One of my friend told me that after he watched the movie, it made him not eat Mcdonald's food for awhile because he saw the affects of eating unhealthy food. But another friend of mine thought that it gave him the idea to eat more fast food after watching the film just because the movie made him hungry. My two friends understood the movie differently, but from my perspective, it made me realize how dangerous it is to eat fast food every time because it gave malfunctions to body such as mood swings and liver damage. According to the film the experiment of eating only Mcdonald's food as three meals everyday for three months points out how serious the fast food corporations damage consumers health and increase the percent of obesity in the country. "Super size me" sent out a message to everyone who constantly eat at fast food restaurant to be more aware of what it could do to their body, also it was a warning to others as well to be more careful about what to eat. This film is saying that we should take care of our body because it is the temple of God, so we should not abuse our bodies by eating unhealthy food but instead to use a proper diet.
