Chicken Real

About This Movie

So, 'Chicken Real' is this intriguing little documentary by Les Blank that peeks behind the curtain of the poultry industry. It’s not just about chickens; it’s also about the oddities of mass production. The pacing is almost hypnotic, moving from the sterile environment of a chicken hatchery to the chaotic vibe of a county fair barbecue. You get a real sense of the scale here—156 million chickens! The music is quirky, with these catchy chicken-themed tunes that somehow lighten the mood amidst all the surreal visuals. And those practical effects? You can really feel the weight of the chicken culture. It’s a blend of humor and discomfort that leaves you thinking long after it’s over. Not your average doc, for sure.
