Review of Thank You for Smoking (2005) by Hawaiian-Shirt — 07 Dec 2016

This movie is satire done right. It manages to pull all the strings to break conventions on how we see corporations and activists to add a nuance we (intentionally or not) erase from other human. Most people expect the movie to demonize the tabacco company and humanize the people fighting it, while it does the complete opposite. Maybe selling cigarettes is just a job and fighting its consumption just a cheap political trick? This movie will make uncomfortable all people who have a strict, black and white vision of the world, and will explain that it's 'wrong' to humanize human you disagree with.

If you have a more nuanced vision of the world, it's an hilarious movie.
