Destroyed Be Forever All the Bonds of Nature Trailers

An experimental assemblage of found and original material that explores the role of the moving image in both revealing and shaping human relations with non-human animals. Taking its title from a famous aria in Mozart’s The Magic Flute, which has been performed by countless parrots on YouTube, it probes some of the ways in which the camera is used to reduce real animals to abstract objects for human pleasure and knowledge. Through cinema, animals are at our disposal, yet kept safely at a distance, deepening artificial boundaries between human and non-human, nature and culture, and wilderness and civilization.

Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
