Blue Vinyl (2002)

I love this movie so much

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

I enjoyed the style of this documentary. It wasn't slick like a lot of docs you tend to see out there. But I don't agree that it was just BS like a lot of the reviews I just read here. I think that it is pretty well known information that PVC is toxic to the people who live around the factories, & who make the stuff. When it is in your home it is fairly safe, but if it catches fire then it sends up a lot of toxic fumes.Ever open a new PVC shower curtain and it stinks up your house for weeks after? That is called out-gassing. A lot of new chemical laden household products out-gas. Like cabinets, furniture, carpets, etc. Google it. Read up.

This is a perfect example of yellow journalism, sensationalizing a non- problem with their very biased,one sided, non-scientific approach to "disseminating information"The only other comment I would make is that the producers forgot to use the camera technique shooting up the face of the opposition to make them look more demonic.I'm glad others saw this tripe to be what it was.

You think vinyl is safe? This film Blue Vinyl make you think about how polyvinyl chloride is made and the products we use everyday for living. The consequences of the manufacture, use and disposal of vinyl, how get rid of the material can be fatal for the workers in the industry plant and people around the plant. It digs deeper that this means to our health in general public. It is light and funny, but straight to the point. After the watching film at the Philadelphia Festival of World Cinema, I saw the directors Daniel B. Gold and Judith Helfand and told them it a film that will open your eyes about the world around us. The directors were glad to hear about the comment of the film. A film not to be missed.

Judith Helfand and Daniel Gold have created a wonderful documentary in Blue Vinyl. Judith's parents have put light blue vinyl siding on her house... but Judith suspects there are serious dangers from vinyl to humans... during its manufacture, if it burns, when its disposed of. Having lost her uterus from DES poisoning, she shares a bond with the cancer victims who work in and live in the shadow of the vinyl and PVC factories. Judith has this gravelly high voice, a quirky sense of humor, and a vulnerability in the face of corporate America that makes her irresistible. Blue Vinyl is also beautifully and imaginatively shot... I saw this at Sundance (2002) and Daniel Gold won the prize for documentary cinematography. There is also wonderful use of music and animation. Highly recommended.
