My opinion about the trailer „Nos enfants nous accuseront”
(Our children will accuse us)
(Our children will accuse us)
The trailer of „Nos
enfants nous accuseront” (Our children will accuse us) shows the ecological
problem that affects treatment with pesticides. I think this issue is worth
being discussed, however, it is essential to show the different views. But
unfortunately this is not the case in this trailer.
At first, when I seen it, I was really scared because I
thought that the risks of pesticide use are too serious for farmers and
consumers. But after seeing some reviews, I realized that we can see some
shortcomings. In particular, the scientist who appears in this document, presents a thesis based only on unverified assumptions. This thesis assumes
that pesticides cause huge numbers of cancer. However, critics present the
scientific sources which tell that the dangers of pesticides on the consumer are probable
but not confirmed.
Secondly, we can realize that in this trailer the stage-manager
used the emotional and intellectual manipulation. Music is a perfect example.
It's sad, dark, appalling, that is to say, it is an instrument to convince us, to
terrify us. Another example is the scene where scientific ask the public if
they know the presonnes who are sick, and then he attributes this illness to
environemental problems. It does not consider that many things may impact on this disease,
for example genes or drugs.
Finally, this way of presenting the subject of pesticides
gives the impression that the viewer is seen as someone unable to think and to
draw the correct conclusions.
