It does seem unfair when attempting to compare a masterpiece, (as this most definitely is), against 'popular', well-executed fiction 'blockbusters'. (A look at IMBD's most highly-rated films shows public discerning proof of this). As indicated, four years in the making, editing many thousand of hours footage, would render a 90+ minute slice of popular entertainment rather inconsequential by comparison. It is more a reflection of our world and its precious diversity that is magnificently portrayed here. Yes,it is 'political' exhibiting how we, (as a supposedly superior race ), are systematically annihilating creatures that do not have our capacity to protect and preserve this beautiful planet that we are so privileged to inhabit. But we do have an obligation to tell future generations why their ancestors did what they did to reduce diversity. Place yourself 100 years from now - would 'The Shawshank Redemption' resonate over how our present generation disregarded, exploited and left the planet they were left with ? The choice is yours. I'm not an activist in any form - have never been on marches, signed petitions, called for changes, to my shame. I'm like the majority of the people who read this - benignly concerned, yet apathetic. I'm an old failure. And I'm truly, truly sorry for my lack of action. SHAME ON ME.
