Fast Food Nation


I’m confident that Richard Linklater's latest film ‘Fast Food Nation’ will be described in all sorts of ways. It is difficult, eye-opening, challenging yet still obvious, loose, sluggish and lacks character development. It is based on the novel by Eric Schlosser, ‘Fast Food Nation’ and even with it’s flaws is does an excellent job at exploring the social, nutritional and environmental realities of the fast food industry.
The audience weaves together the stories of three employees of 'Mickeys' - a fast food chain who is doing the normal capitalistic things big business do…The messages this film gives shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone, however for some it serves as a timely reminder and hopefully challenges some common consumer actions…(dreaming)
