Modern Times: The Way of All Flesh Trailers

In 1951, a woman died in Baltimore, U.S.A. She was called Henrietta Lacks. These are cells from her body. They were taken from her just before she died. They have been growing and multiplying ever since. There are now billions of these cells in laboratories around the world. If massed together, they would weigh 400 times her original weight. These cells have transformed modern medicine, but they also became caught up in the politics of our age.

Reviews
Inclubabu Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.
Tacticalin An absolute waste of money
Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.
Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
Ersbel Oraph Adam Curtis seems to cater to conservatives. Anything that has to do with scare is good. And technology is usually even better. I have no idea if Curtis is carefully building up the myth of the white lab coat mad man with thick glasses ready to blow up the world or if Curtis really believes and actually tries real hard to uncover the conspiracy of the imaginary crazy scientist.Anyway, his ability and effort to drive the fairy tale as far as possible to serve his purpose is impressive. Here, in less than three minutes he can tell the story of the "plantation owner" just missing the insignificant detail of slavery. And the plantation owner is just taking a woman as mistress. Oh, can you imagine the easy black girl ready to sleep with anybody just for a career advancement? Only there is no career. And there is no consent. The girl/woman is owned and can't give consent. But why bother with all this? A girl falls in love with a rich and much older entrepreneur, right?Contact me with Questions, Comments or Suggestions ryitfork @ bitmail.ch
