Statin: Movie Analysis

415 Words2 Pages

This movie was very interesting to me. I learned a lot about cholesterol and the unethical distribution of the drug called Statin. I learned that over 40 million people in the United States take prescription drugs to lower high cholesterol. I was shocked to know that even if you do lower your cholesterol, it does not lower your risk of developing a heart attack. One interesting thing I learned is that the disease hypercholesterolemia was created purposely so that the pharmaceutical manufacturers would have to create a drug to neutralize it. The drug Statin is advertized on television and often prescribed by doctors to patients with the intention of lowering that person’s likelihood of getting a heart attack. This, however, is not true because

    Overall, the film could not get any better. I love how the film takes viewers on a journey of a simple minded, small town, Alabama boy. The fact that this simple minded man did everything, that an average minded person wishes they could, is so fascinating. Another thing about the movie that was so interesting is the way they captivated every historical event from the late 1950’s to late 80’s. Everything about the film was amazing; from the way each line was said with precision, to the made up city of Alabama.

    It brought in great interviews, whether they were that of townspeople or official representatives, the interviews were solid and differed enough to make each one stand on it's own. The filmmakers found a way to follow the narrative with it's statistics and interviews blending in a way to keep my attention without me wanting to shoot myself in the face due to boredom, which is great. The way ethos, pathos, and logos weaved together for the end product was certainly admirable. I wasn't concerned with the issue at all when going into the interview, but if I'm going to be honest, I still don’t really care. I understand the issues and what they're doing to both the world and it's inhabitants, but I think bottled anything has become so integrated into society.

    It baffles me to see how these men, women, and children were treated as animals. I ask the question, how could these owner treat the slaves like this and not have any regrets or fears as to what would happen to them when they die. It also made me think on the slaves who were not born slaves that came from Africa who did know the language, customs, and how they were up rooted from their lives. I always thought that slaves were separated from their families because one of the family members did wrong. This film taught me that that was not always the reason some slave owners sold members of the slave families just because they could.
