Initial feeling about supersize me where very simple and any average person would have had the same thoughts too. It’s crazy that he is actually going through with this. Can he actually hold out and finish out the experiment? Some other initial thoughts were, this guy is crazy!
Like a little kid getting a new toy, Morgan jumped on the experiment with great excitement and enthusiasm, which made me laugh and I enjoyed the documentary. Morgan was very funny and he made the documentary very enjoyable, like it wasn’t a boring documentary at all. He has a very good sense of humor when it comes to his movies. He is a very good actor who takes his work seriously but also gets the job done with ease and with the most fun possible. He is obviously completely unaware of the seriousness of the experiment even though the doctors wouldn’t recommend it.
During the documenter y, I develop a sense of friendship for this stranger. When he starts feeling sick I feel bad for him and I want him to stop before he gets hurt. Even his mother and girlfriend call him with the same feelings and ask him to stop before he gets hurt. It gets worse when all his test results come back with bad numbers indicating different functions and parts of his body are rapidly getting destroyed by all of the fast-food. I feel the need to tell him to stop because some of these results can be irreversible. His health or his body might never be the same.
His girlfriend at the time, which is now currently his fiancé, was supporting him no matter what. She is a vegan chef who likes to eat healthy. Basically, this experiment that Morgan is conducting is the worst possible decision on his part; that is when it comes to their relationship. When it comes down to it, Alex was supportive throughout the entire movie, even though she was mad at him for doing it and told him that he needed to stop. She handled the news of the experiment fairly well. What blows my mind is the fact that Morgan is so set on this experiment that when Alex basically begs him not to do it and that he’s absurd, and he still goes through with it.
When Morgan actually starts to get sick, I think he starts to understand the seriousness of it. He also stresses this seriousness to the audience which obviously creates a good message about fast food. The whole time I am hoping he gets really sick so that he can prove that McDonalds’ is actually really bad for you. I also find myself hoping that everything that happens to him is irreversible. It would be very unfortunate to use your nonrenewable health to prove a point or fight for a cause. I guess you could consider him slightly patriotic, because soldiers are deployed to risk their lives to fight for a cause or to gain justice.
