XoWizIama Excellent adaptation.
ChicRawIdol A brilliant film that helped define a genre
Megamind To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
kashimbi This visionary movie was ahead of its time. Too few people saw it or recognized the importance of simple organic living. Today with concern about global warming and peak oil, people are more primed for the ideas promoted by Ron & Woody.Bike4Peace would like to re-release Go Further in the style that Robert Greenwold releases his documentaries, encouraging home viewings with discussions to build our movement toward a continental critical mass cycle experience. What steps would we take to get the rights to do this? Vernon Huffman 425-438-8985 http://www.bike4peace.org
Neal Ekengren I watched this one for 30 minutes trying to figure out if it was a spoof or an honest attempt at some message. It wasn't funny. The message was chaotic. I'm still not sure.The green message was destroyed by the inane comments from drug addicts, imbeciles, etc.I really thought Woody was acting out some bizarre green character but no, it seems these were his honest feelings. An attempt at parody really wouldn't enroll the support of sheepish college crowds would it??? What a mess. I suddenly feel like nice steak raised by those evil farmers financed by the evil rich people.
canadaeri I'm all for the promotion of healthy organic living and seeking out sustainable alternatives, however I found this flick to be totally clichéd.Woody gathers together a band of merry makers including a raw food chef, yoga teacher and a lawyer for activists and embarks on a bike riding/biofuelled bus trip down the coast. None of his team was really introduced properly, or seemed to have anything relevant to say, and I found myself cringing at the "hippie" stereotypes -- sensationalist fear mongering and pot smoking in the back seat of the bus (I mean, I'm no doctor, but occasionally enjoying baked food isn't going to do something horrid to your pancreas, as suggested by the raw food chef - and not all diary contains blood and pus - the USA is one of a few countries that has approved the use of bovine growth hormone)There are a myriad of intelligent and scientific arguments for switching to an organic lifestyle, none of which were presented in this film, which instead focused on the "vibe" with shots of the gang holding hands, dancing naked on the beach, completing a yogic sun salutation and the odd piece of footage of a clear cut forest or extinct animal.Included in the party is some random guy that seems to be shocked by the revelation that twinkies are not a health food, and makes pathetic attempts at humour (say no to corn dogs... etc).If you're after something that has something political to say, is intelligent, well researched AND entertaining - GO TO ANOTHER DOCO.I suggest The Fog of War, The Corporation or Supersize Me instead :)
jbels Caught this at the Chicago film festival and loved it so much that I saw it twice. This journal about an enlightening road trip has so many wonderful moments that even if you don't agree with its principles, you will still have a good time. I discovered some life-changing tips, which hardly even happens at the movies. But don't go for the message, go for the good time. Great musical interludes too!
