The Hungarian Film WHITE GOD-Is God Awful
This Hungarian import by dir/screenwriter/actor Kornel Mundruczo is so malicious it was impossible to sit through until the end. Despite the disclaimer at the start that no animal were hurt making the film, heaven forbid this should not be the case it was too uncomfortable to watch. Anyone who is an animal lover will find this film offensive. The animal cruelty depicted and cold heartedness of the film is utterly dismal. The only semblence of humanity comes from the young heroine, Lili, who cares deeply for her dog Hagen. Lili is being left with in her father's care while her mother (the couple are split) will be traveling for 3 months. Her austere father shows little compassion for his daughter & even none for her "mutt." He abandons Hagen on the side of the road despite Lili's tearful pleas. Left to fend for himself, the movie follows the harrowing, harsh treatment Hagen receives from various vile neanderthals. The gentle, loving Hagen is coerced into becoming a vicious, fight to the death dog for betting purposes. Michael Vick served time in prison for this abhorrent practice. Sitting through this movie was too grueling and I left (along with several others) before the movie ended. For God's sake - don't go see this painful picture. Instead, get yourself a hagen daz.
