Review of Our Daily Bread (1934) by Hong H — 22 Jan 2008
This movie is *almost* without bias, and I think that is one of its major strengths. By juxtaposing images of workers eating with footage of food production processes, the director certainly wants us to acknowledge and understand where the food we eat is coming from.
Perhaps that is the only direction we can take from the movie. The rest is purely research, the footage is laid out to us in a way that we make the judgements and opinions. The cuts are non-aggressive, showing things simply how they are.
EVERY PERSON WHO EATS FOOD SHOULD WATCH THIS MOVIE. In our society where it is so easy to just purchase and consume, we forget about the other important matters of how our food gets to us as well as what it is before it becomes "food.
".
