Super Size Me - Movie



Saw Super Size Me at the Academy Twin, Oxford St, Paddington earlier (ie last night)- Cyclic Defrost promotion. It was a great doco. It had heaps of humour in it but the message runs deep. Morgan Spurlock is one v.talented director, writer etc...

The film should be compulsory viewing to every school-kid, parent, everyone really! I was feeling a bit whoosy/unsettled during the movie watching him eat McDonalds every meal for a month. Regardless of whether or not you eat 'fast foods' a lot or not, you leave the film feeling inspired to do some more exercise and to take the time to buy fresh fruit and vegies, and to cook healthy meals.

Super Size Me won the Best Director Award at the 2004 Sundance Film Festival.
