Review of Dark Waters (2019) by Standuptoclimat — 05 Dec 2019
Dark Waters is one of the most important films I have seen this year. "Dark Waters" had my attention wrapped from beginning to end. Most respected critics agree with me. The impossibly courageous and steadfast REAL life hero Rob Billet forces us to face the truth without distraction, glamour or pretense.
His humility, humanity, and heart are astonishing. He is a rare and genuine hero in this age of Narcissism and climate crisis. In our age of superficial "looking away" from the truth, anxiety and despair this film busts down all the inclinations to hide.
I am also surprised by the reviewer missing the artistry of the film. The blue grey coldness that seeps into the shots reflects the insidious corporate crimes making their way into the flesh and bones of the victims.
Haynes brilliantly represents the tragedy of bodies and the earth ravaged by industry and corporate greed. This film shows how the consumer and the victims of environmental pollution (mainly farmers and the poor) are abused and hurt by corporate greed.
It is an astonishing portrait of courage and perseverance. Showing us that we can indeed overcome evil if we care enough to wake up and try. I give dark waters an "A". The reviewer missed it completely.
