Apparently this film was crucial in establishing Animal Rights practices in Hollywood. Yet another icky little angle in a movie that is pretty much loaded with them. I'm not saying that this is a great movie, I'm just saying that everyone who is seriously into film and doesn't flinch away from intense subject matter really needs to see it. I'm glad I did.
