Motivating, Jun 30 2005

For a fat carnivore like myself, I found this exremely motivating. It isn't preachy. It isn't super political. It's just some basic truths and ideas presented. I've always been pretty ignorant about environmental things and didn't have the will power to want to change my eating habits. I loved the way this was presented. The musical presentations were great too. You should check out the website if the movie did anything for you.

Don't Understand other Reviews, Aug 22 2005

After reading reviews on Amazon about this movie I was prepared to be disappointed. This is hands down the best movie I have seen that tries to put an entire organic way of living into a holistic framework. I have been disappointed in the past where people implement sustainable living in one area of their life but not others. For example I see raw foodists travel all over using fossil fuels and live in large houses. Also there are many good one issue movies such as the movie Blue Vinyl which I loved but the director was overweight and I don't know if she got the rest of the sustainable picture with regard to eating right, being close to nature, and using Yoga and meditation. There are many single issue movies and books out there looking at Biodiesel, sustainable agriculture, raw foods,green building and Yoga, but there is not one that puts them all together as well as this film.
What I really love about this movie is that it is upbeat, positive, and the poem at the end by Woody is worth the price alone. Also, don't miss the extras where there is a speech by Julia Hill Butterfly that is awesome.

This is a fantastic and inspiring movie. The people in it are relateable, the music is great, and the message is timeless. It is funny, but not cheesy, the message is vocalized but not preachy. Ron Mann is a great director who made a motivating and inspirational movie. And in response to one reviewer calling it a spoof, it is not. I am a member of the Ruckus Society and they are a %100 legitimate organization with real activist training camps. In short, everyone needs to see Go Further.
