Every weekend, seventeen year old Chris and his family hunt rabbits during sugarcane field burning and harvesting in the Florida Everglades.
The banality of violence and the mundanity of the harshness of reality. Pretty powerful and succinct stuff.
Violent and not for people who don’t want to witness the killing of animals but I thought it was really well done. Short and to the point. Interesting little snapshot into a generally unrepresented side of life in America.
It definitely feels like the first act to what could've been a longer film, but overall, it's a pretty interesting glimpse into a way of life that never even once crossed my mind. The story featured no narration or interviews and simply just followed the subjects throughout their day which really allowed the film to nail that slice-of-life feeling that it was clearly going for.
Also trigger warning if you're sensitive to violence towards animals. I watched this in class and one person covered their eyes while the other just straight left the room for ten minutes.
Well, that made me pretty fuckin miserable. I don't even know how to feel after that. On one hand, i can't believe people still live like this in a first world country, on the other those poor fuckin rabbits. But then again this is probably pretty humane compared to how other animals are slaughtered. AND THEN IT LOOKED NICE. I GOT HUNGRY AFTER WATCHING THIS. fuck me dead, im sad now.
The most shocking thing in this boring, overlong documentary is the amount of sugar the guy put on his cereal.
I'm pretty sure this was shot in my hometown. No idea this was going on, that's pretty cool?
