VHS Movie Reviews of The Burning Season - The Chico Mendes Story
Movie Review: Raul Julia tries to save the rainforest.
Summary: 2 Stars
My only reason for seeing this film is because Luis Guzman is in it.
Raul Julia plays "Chico Mendes" who tried to save his people in the Amazon Rainforest. A story that needed to be told, but this film is overlong and slow-moving.
I do believe the rainforests should be saved and destroying them should be stopped.
Instead of decreasing them the forests should be expanded.
The rainforests are beneficial to our weather. Their is wildlife there and flowers used for medical research and medicine that can not be found anywhere else.
What would happen if land was just roads, concrete, buildings and dessert. I think if a patch of unhistoric dessert is bare, just plant trees there. It would look nicer than a vacant lot. it is trees that tranform our air into what we can breathe. I think trees and water play an inportence in bringing forth rain as well. If you have ever lived in a drought area, you would know what I mean.
I thought Raul Julia looked rather pale and sickly in this film. It was to be one of last.
If you like Raul Julia, see him in THE MORNING AFTER (1986).
