|
Dir.Morgan Spurlock US 2003 Everything's bigger in America: our cars, our arsenals, and our butts. Director Spurlock's concern is not shape and size but health. Obesity is a major health problem and soon it will likely surpass smoking as the leading cause of preventable death in America. In Super Size Me, Spurlock sets out to prove that fast food and the corporate power that peddles it are killing us. To make his point, Spurlock vows to live on nothing but McDonald's food for 30 days, trying everything on the menu at least once and agreeing to 'super size' his meal if asked. Three doctors and a nutritionist monitored the results. By the end of the experiment, Spurlock had McBarf-ed up a super sized meal, gained significant McWeight, and suffered serious McMood swings. His girlfriend, a professional vegan cook, reported that their sex life wasn't so good, and one of his doctors worries that he'll succumb to liver failure. More shocking are the facts and figures: McDonald's spends over a billion dollars a year on advertising, and much of that is spent on luring children into a lifetime addiction to fast food. The arguments in Super Size Me will be familiar to readers of the best seller Fast Food Nation, and like that book, it is as much about corporate power as it is about what we put into our bodies. This film redefines the term Big Mac Attack. (98m) |
