Talk:Darwin's Nightmare

message: This movie seems influenced by the work of Tijs Goldschmidt, author of Darwin's Dreampond. Though I haven't seen the documentary yet, I just thought I'd pass the word along. I read the book about four years ago and it was really enjoyable. There was a great mix of science and his personal experiences in Africa that I recall really enjoying.  --4.235.147.198 07:20, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

message: The article claims that the Russian pilot says:
"The children of Europe receive fresh fish, the children of Angola receive guns for Christmas."
I won't correct it since I'm not a native speaker, but actually the pilot said something like:
"The children of Europe receive grapes, the children of Angola receive guns for Christmas." When saying this he doesn't talk about the Tansanian fish, but earlier, somehow similar, transports he made.
This is one of the last scenes in this film.

message: This movie is biased and attracted alot of criticism not only from the actual fisheries in the country but also from the Tanzanian president. Atleast mention that.
The film maker tries to make the viewer think that the fish importers come empty handed and take the fish for free.
This is untrue. They pay for it.
The film tries to convince us that fish exported from lake Victoria is used to fund fighting in Angola and Congo but this countries are no where near the great lakes.

thread_title:  Criticism 

message: I removed the part about Garçon having business interests in the food industry because an information like that needs to be supported. It was placed in the article in a way that suggests Garçon is attacking the film to defend his own interests. I did a little research and found that, besides teaching, he also used to work for Havas, a French marketing group, which had some ties with some food companies, but if someone wants to assert Garçon's past involvement is behind his critique of the film he'll have to show some evidence first. --74.56.40.181 13:15, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: And there would be better places to discuss that than this article, especially as long as it is just an allegation or suspicion. I have made a link out of Garçon so that those who would like to discuss him can start a stub and discuss him there ;) Dysmorodrepanis 13:52, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

message: This movie (available here) seems a far superior treatment than the sensationalistic "Darwin's Nightmare", as it is based on scientific research conducted since the 1970s. It may be useful as a lead for more information. The problem with Darwin's Nightmare is that it focuses on events occurring decades too late for its hypothesis, and hence has to turn to POV-pushing... Dysmorodrepanis 14:14, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

message: Generally, criticism sections are undesirable here on Wikipedia. The entire section lacks any kind of references or citations, and is written like a high school news article. For example, one paragraph begins with the sentence, "Basically, the Nile perch is the animal equivalent of a cash crop." Well... yeah, like totally dude. But, like, let's explain it in ummm... academic terms?
For those of you who find that this information is really pertinent to this article, please support your claims by finding information from credible sources. Create new sections which describe the controversy(ies) surrounding the film. Otherwise, this information should be deleted. SweetNightmares (talk) 00:55, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
