Greenlit (2010)

It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

I usually hate Hollywood and everything it stands for so as you can imagine I was a little skeptical when my friend insisted I watch this movie. I was surprised to find that I loved it. It was objective and fair and even funny. Hollywood people usually congratulate themselves on being liberal and green when it's such a wasteful industry. I've been saying this for years and I'm glad they're finally looking to change their ways. Good on you. This documentary really raised awareness about how much waste the movie industry actually creates. Hopefully the old codgers like me who have been fighting for this since the 60s can share this movie with the younger kids and it will open their eyes to how much change we still have left to implement. Good for you, whoever thought of this movie, I think it will really help.

Greenlit is an entertaining and enlightening look into the idea of going green, and the practicality of doing so. With so much focus nowadays on going green and keeping our planet clean, this is an excellent look into the possibilities of what would happen if everyone did their part in going green, and some of the realities and challenges faced when asked to do so. The movie follows the production of a feature film trying to maintain a green set. Through the course of the movie, director Miranda Bailey shows us why it is so important to do things like recycle, use re-usable water bottles, and make traveling as eco-friendly and efficient as possible. On the other hand, she shows us the realities of trying to implement these green goals on a film set, the effects it has on the crew, and the production itself. Presented in an entertaining and unbiased manner, there was never a moment that I felt that I was being preached to, yet made me want to take steps towards being a little greener. This is a movie anyone can enjoy and learn a lot from.

Very funny, original look at a topic that should be at the forefront of the green movement. As one of the largest producers of pollution in the environment, the film and TV industry has an obligation to open the doors to the production process and what effect it has on the environment. 'Greenlit' does just that, allowing the viewer to see the waste that results from a feature film's production (as well as the drama associated with trying to reduce that waste). This isn't the snooze fest that is An Inconvenient Truth. Rather, the problems associated with film production pollution are presented in a humorous yet educational manner. I didn't feel like I was learning something so much as I felt like I was taking in an entertaining movie

Greenlit is an informative and eye-opening documentary. Despite its serious subject matter, the film is fun and entertaining. It points out how easy it is to make small life-style changes that will positively impact the environment, but it also brings attention to how challenging and overwhelming it can be to attempt to implement those changes on a lager scale. It is the first documentary that I have seen that attempts to show how the green movement affects the film industry and vise versa. It definitely made me think about my own recycling habits, and brought to light how much more I can do to help the environment. I would recommend it to a friend.
