Guest guest Posted August 13, 2004 Report Share Posted August 13, 2004 Please enlighten me... Is there something in these movies that advocates vegetarianism?? I'd love to know! << I am compiling a list of movies that have vegetarianism in them (such as About A Boy and My Big Fat Greek Wedding). Or supports a vegetarian message (like Babe and Chicken Run). >> Mail is new and improved - Check it out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 13, 2004 Report Share Posted August 13, 2004 The only one I can comment about is Chicken Run. Which is story of a chicken (Ginger) who lives on a farm with a bunch of other chickens. If a chicken stop laying eggs the chicken gets its head chopped off an eaten for dinner. Some of the chickens who lay more eggs will give eggs to some of the older chickens who don't lay so much anymore. The main character Ginger dreams/ plans/ schemes of ways to get out of the chicken house. One day a rooster lands in their their chicken coup. They believe the rooster can fly and he begins to teach them. I'll stop here not to ruin the ending of the movie. But it is a good movie to talk to your kids about issues. Like do the chickens like to be couped up? Do you think its right to take the chickens' eggs? Do you think the chickens are afraid when they see one of their friends leave and not come back? etc. Having just watched this a few weeks ago with my daughter it is fresh in my head. I saw Babe when it came out and I believe it has similar issues that you can talk to your child about only with a pig instead of a chicken. The other 2 movies I didn't see.

It's not the focus of the movie, not even close, but it is a memorable scene. I haven't seen About A Boy, so I don't know how vegetarianism relates to that one. I particularly liked the veg content in MBFGW because it's one of the few depictions of a *male* vegetarian I can think of in the popular media, and he's quite a hottie too, not a weirdo like you sometimes see in movies or on tv. It's definitely a positive incidence of veg visibility. ---- Patricia Bullington-McGuire <patricia The brilliant Cerebron, attacking the problem analytically, discovered three distinct kinds of dragon: the mythical, the chimerical, and the purely hypothetical.
