The Big Fix (2012) Reviews
A well-made, timely film about a continuing problem.
Dan Rather asked filmmaker Josh Tickell why documentaries are so popular in an interview at the Sundance Film Festival. The answer is that the media is letting us down. While Fox, MSNBC, and everyone in between have forgotten about the BP spill, the oil continues to leak, and Corexit continues to be sprayed, pumped and dumped into the waters of the Gulf. Americans are demanding that offshore oil permits be renewed to create jobs, while thousands of fishing jobs are being snuffed out by the worst spill in history, followed by the worst solution in history. Josh and Rebecca Tickell interview the locals who are most directly affected by the spill, and sneak behind the scenes to catch the criminals in the act. This film should put its creators on stage at the 2012 Oscars.
This film enlightens and challenges our society
The heartfelt connection I have to the undeniable facts, victims of the spill, and stories in the film enlighten me to a new perspective on our (lack of) democratic society. I am blown away by the beautiful production of the film and the challenge it brings to our country to wake up. The emotions I felt viewing TBF surpassed any reactions I've had watching any thriller, horror-film, or drama because it's all three tied into one and it's our reality. This film will change you and is an amazing beacon to the future of our economic and environmental health...and is truly compelling to watch!
Totally exposed, Josh and Rebecca Tickell expose the tragedy and cover up by Corporations and the US Government of the real impact of the BP Gulf Oil Spill...
This is one awesome and important film. If you are concerned about the state of our planet and the future of our democracy then this film should be on your bucket list... Don't wait till your bucket is empty to see Josh and Rebecca Tickell expose this tragic man made disaster and cover up... Josh and Rebecca Tickell along with Peter Fonda take us with them on their journey to the Gulf of Mexico for a first hand view the devastation of the BP Oil spill and the whitewashing of the facts... This film is so timely to the events unfolding in America today that is very important that this film get the distribution it deserves, go see it and recommend it to all your friends and family.
Excellent, and eye opener.
Saw the movie last night and it was excellent. Provocative, well research, emotional and powerful. It is really shocking to see the level of deceit and corruption still going on in the gulf. We got to invest in alternative energies and let go of our destructive addiction to oil. Even though I consider myself generally well informed, I was shocked to see pieces of information that have been kept secret to the public at large. And the film provides irrefutable proof. Sometimes the truth hurts. We got to face the truth otherwise the alternative will be even more disastrous.
Better than "Inside Job"
Louisiana is not a state, it's an oil colony. That was one of the core messages of this film, and it's impossible to argue that it's not true after seeing and hearing the evidence. The history lesson is gripping, the interviews with policy experts and politicians are amazingly informative. The interviews with Gulf residents are touching. The interviewees are all people I'd love to have as friends, and I felt saddened for what has happened to them and continues to happen to them. The birds, fish and shrimp? They're dead, so their suffering is over, but the people who counted on the Gulf for their survival continue to watch in horror as the damage being done to the Gulf gets worse and the President has approved the issue of more deep water drilling permits. I'd highly recommend this film to anyone, especially if they think they know what has happened, and continues to happen, in the Gulf.
