I was wondering if anyone has seen this movie and what their opinions of it were. I haven't seen it myself but a buddy of mine is getting stir crazy after being laid off a few weeks ago and needs a night out. Thanks.
I don't consider myself sensitve either; I mean, I've mopped up blood and cleaned a man's leg after a chainsaw injury. And lots of other stuff not for the faint of heart.Originally Posted by snosrap5
I absolutely hated the first 5 minutes of the movie. I had to close my eyes and plug my ears. It really bothered me about the cat and I just couldn't watch and I've never really considered myself all that sensitive.
I still don't understand why it had to be a cat??? Why not a small sheep, goat, deer or anything but a cat.
I did enjoy the movie though.
I understand what you're saying, I didn't consider it animal cruelty or even torture. I just didn't like that it was a cat. I get that he needed to eat and it's the end of the world and all. For me it was all about the cat. If I loved pigs as much as I love cats and they had used a pig instead ofOriginally Posted by esrgirl
There is no cat torture and no animal cruelty, it's the end of the world and he had to eat what was available to him. There were no goats, pigs, or whatever, walking around in an area covered in fall-out ash. No one has complained about what the cat was eating!
Has anyone ever watched "Life After People" on the History Channel? I think the reason a cat was chosen was because a cat would have a better chance of surviving without human help than other domesticated animals like cows, goats, pigs, and "helper" animals like seeing eye dogs.Originally Posted by snosrap5

a cat I would have had the same feelings about them using a pig.
Oh and as far as what the cat was eating, the guy was dead. The cat didn't kill the guy and then proceed to eat it. To me, you can't compare the two.
You're kidding, right? I'm not Christian, but even I knew who Eli (El) was.Originally Posted by ScottF
I was not expecting to have a Christian theme though.
