you all missed the point - watch the movie again


it is disappointing to see that so many people are not moved by this movie. you have all clearly missed the point.

this movie is about us, the self centred humanity. we have made the third world, the gini pigs of civilization and the scape goat of every possible sin know to man. and all of you are doing it again, turning a blind eye to the message the movie was carrying. no it is not impossible that big drug companies test their new drugs on Africans. the people living in developed countries are not willing to test knew drugs so drug companies got to the third world where the rate of disease is high and people have no other choice but to try the desease for thats all they have (it's a donation). then these drug companies would sell the drugs to these countries hiding any side effect. and people are stll forced to use it because there is no alternative. beside, drug companies were not the main target of the movie. it's the people ignorance that was the goal. we know the facts we have the evidance yet we stand up and say "there are no murders in Africa, only regretable deaths". it sickness me to see that so many people are criticizing the movie when they should be praising it.

what kills me is that there are those people who say, that this film was an entire myth, and africans are not the gini pigs of civilization but merely the less fortunate people of the globe.

if you thought that this movie was bad then think again and perhaps watch it again. if you still think it's bad then you are emotionless

I gave it a 9 yet I can understand why many people didn't like it. As much as the sentiment is nice, the screenplay is too convoluted and long to truly captivate masses. Like someone said, it's a great piece of work but fails to "entertain".
