I saw this a year or two ago, excellent movie.  Very good choice.

Anyone out there not seeing this should.

It's a French Movie.

Thank you for the entire movie link, I now have the entire movie vs it in parts.   :)

One of not so famous and IMHO very underrated movies is a 1996 French film "La belle Verte" directed by Coline Serreau (she also plays the lead character of the movie). The movie was supposedly banned by EU.

Review from IMDB:
Quote
Did you ever wonder why the floors under your feet , in the place where you live are covered with a gray material, & you can't see the soil? Why this floor is full of poo? Why there are boxes of metal emitting gases that you must breathe? Why you live in high cages, forced to hear the noise of these metal boxes? Why you're driving them, & not using your feet, causing you to eventually have heart attack, if you won't die earlier from cancer from the gases, or an accident with the fast moving boxes? Why you eat corpses of animals? Why you use pieces of paper entitling you to any value, without which you won't have nothing, not even food? Why you eat unhealthy food? Why you're sitting every evening watching a box showing people telling lies, & dirtying your mind? Why do you let yourself be led by fat selfish people caring only about themselves, their money & power, why don't we really listen to each other, talk to each other, why do we have these hierarchies, in which the most stupid, incapable ones rule, control & exploit the goodness & capable weaker ones? Why we go about doing wrong immoral things just because we're being told, why are we constantly mad, worried & frustrated with such small trivial things, like a scratch on the mirror of our cars, & never see, appreciate & thank the beautiful wonderful life, nature & world that surrounds & supports us? Why we ruin the world, poison ourselves, live in ugliness, support the rich selfish people exploiting us, selling us lies, tobbacco, weapons & arms, killing people with the money that we're forced to pay them as taxes?

If you haven't wondered on all this, its because you're like an ant, small cell in the super-organism, & can't see beyond your cell's vision. What you need is to be disconnected, shocked by artists such as Coline Serreau, that have a vision that you don't have, consciousness, different from that of the ants. Such artists, like Jesus & Johann Sebastian Bach, cause the world to change, the super-organism to evolve into something more intelligent, more good for its cells, that are given life.

Oh, I apologize... Here's a brief description (synopsis) of the movie: As part of an intergalactic coalition, a well-meaning space alien volunteers to bring a message of self-actualization and harmony with nature to the one planet rejected by all her peers as incorrigible--Earth.

This family-oriented French sci-fi comedy chronicles her adventures on the chaotic planet. Mila is 150 years old and has five children; encoded in her brain are two telepathic programs designed to restructure the thinking of destructive humans. The first is a fairly mild program designed to inspire the humans to rethink their world and begin asking some difficult questions. The other is far stronger and rapidly indoctrinates subjects with lofty utopian ideals and makes them deeply aware of themselves.

Mila lands in Paris and is unnoticed but for the sudden, inexplicable power surges and outages that occur whenever she sends a telepathic message to her alien cohorts. Instead of eating, Mila draws energy from holding newborn babies.

It is while holding an orphan infant in an obstetrics ward that her Earthly troubles begin. Feeling deeply for the baby's plight, she confronts the ward's head doctor and when logic fails, looses her programs upon him. Instantly the unsympathetic brute sees the light and begins helping her save the babe from wicked welfare workers.

Strange... When I used the search engine to find this movie it didn't appear at all, so this somewhat confused me now to see that it has already been posted and brought to attention here. Thanks mods, for merging the threads.

I saw the movie the day before yesterday, and was able to watch it again yesterday with a friend.

It makes me feel realy good, and then I can get out of my habits very easily.

The only bad point of the movie may be the vegetarian aspect.

For those who don't know there is a prohibited scene : Téléarc > _http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yjy6eIYDL18

I didn't find any english subtitle version of it.

Here is a Russian ? language version of it > _http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=55SJJMnp6Hc

Here is a spanish language version of it (starting at 4:35) > _http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WgzHYypqrtA


Good night, forgiveness, thank you

Yes, it's sounds logical that humans living on a planet in advance of thousands of years could be adapt to vegetarianism.  But then wouldn't they understand that we are not ?

Well, it is not sure.

After all Krishnamurti was a vegetarian all his life. It seems he didn't talk about it so mush thought.

And I heard that Albert Einstein was also a vegetarian and did recommand it.

I personnaly don't think that it's a good think to recommand vegetarianism nowadays. And this movie is certainly doing that.
