Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

The film is unique in its impact potential but it lacks in the tempo/storyline fullness. I think that between recruiting Karl and unexpected meeting with father it was too fluffy and/or vaguely hinting. Its 56 votes rating is 9,8 now: I should feel like I have missed something. Without prospect of seeing it for the second time, I rather see my assessment as the most correct, just for the fact that almost all the other reviewers found it flawless. It just was not seen by enough law-abiding, humanocentric, monogamous meateaters who would from the emotional silliness vote it as awful same way as too many others found the poignant topic enough for a great filming achievement. I agree: the topic description is stunning and if I stop eating flesh now (I am ripe:) I will be this movie's heartbreaking witnessing; few movies have any real-change impact potential. Thus this movie should be seen by everybody and it feels only sad that its present cut is not as good as eg. its sibling Edukators (Die fetten Jahre sind vorbei) which lacks Bold's topic urgency yet works on all movie planes. I enjoyed the colourfullness of the characters: they are slightly off the balance as to be good and victims as opposed to a corrupt, terrorist frenzy-unsensitized regime, but not too much. (Is USA after 9/11 manners really mutating into bigbrothership?) Other highlight was the guitar song. I think that Joaquin Pastor is a great singer and should have tons of songs on you-tube...

The film is a brilliant mesh of dramatic stay-on-the-edge-of-your-seat storyline with important documentary footage about the horrors suffered by animals of factory farms. The film is so high quality -- artful direction, skillful acting, compelling plot, beautiful cinematography and critical and pointed delivery of the message on behalf of the deplorable state of farm animals. I hope it reaches wide delivery.The movie is so realistic that for the first several minutes I thought it was a documentary until I recognized the intense actor who plays the father. The dynamic of conflict between the son and the father is at the core of the story. However, the true heart of the movie is the plight of farm animals and the risks that activists take when they fight to improve the lives of those animals. The documentary footage is painful to watch, but it brings home the moral fiber of the message.Highest recommendation!

This movie could have gone really wrong. The subject matter is intense and one that does not have much light on it right now. At the end of the day this was an excellent made film regardless of the subject matter. The characters, the cinematography and the music was all brilliant. It was incredibly witty, it had me rolling' in parts. I can't wait to see this movie again - and I very rarely feel that way about a film. It made me think, it made me cry, it made me laugh. What more can you ask of any film? On top of it's brilliance it presents a bigger story than the film itself. There are movies that should be made mandatory to watch and this is one of them.

Bold Native is not an animal rights documentary. This is a groundbreaking, scripted film that portrays the complicated issues facing today's animal rights activists. The movie is a first of it's kind in the sense that it deals with the many controversial aspects, different strategies and the wide variety of advocacy positions that exist side by side in the modern animal welfare/rights/liberation movement. No other film has engaged itself with these topics using fiction, hypothetical situations, character development and a suspenseful storyline. This movie also exposes an important fact... that we all exist in a time where corporations, in alliance with our government, are cowardly using the fears of the masses regarding terrorism, to silence the free speech of those humans standing up for the non human animal individuals being tortured, mutilated and brutally killed by the same corporations. No other scripted film has dealt with the despicable and little known federal law called the Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act which was set up by the corporations (industries who profit from killing animals) by paying off elected politicians. No other film has concerned itself with the emotional, psychological, compassionate and political motivations of so many human beings who risk their own freedom to fight for and liberate the nearly billions of non humans who are oppressed and killed every day. It's nearly impossible to create anything new in the world of film that hasn't been done before. Hollywood has been going out of its way to make sure that everything that it churns out.... has been made two or three times before and 'focused grouped' to never ending insanity. Yet, Bold Native stands out as original among everything else recently released by the big machine that creates the same movies over and over. This is bold filmmaking to say the least.The films logo of the HOPE piglet is a wonderful metaphor for the future of a possible state of the world. A state of the world where liberating the other animals from oppression and fighting for their rights will one day be seen as rational, sane and just. But the logo might also represent hope for a new more meaningful filmmaking that will hopefully start to include themes about the injustice and prejudices which the other species of the world must endure under human chauvinism. Bold Native is the essence/definition of great revolutionary filmmaking and real HOPE. Come on Hollywood....get on board!
