That it's important to truly appreciate the sacrificed so that we can live on. We probably have all seen this coming, it's just the responsible thing to do, to see through it to the end and fulfill the promise of eating the pig. The result of the student vote (which should be vetoed anyway in favor of the teacher's opinion, according to the principal in the film) was a tie, and the teacher cast the last vote to send the pig to the slaughterhouse. What really disappointed me though, was how this film ended. I guess if they developed the teacher's character and motive a little better, it wouldn't have seemed to be so far-fetched since it is based on a real story. The kids faced various challenges, and parents made many complaints you would expect from real life. The debates this teacher allowed the students to have was interesting, and I think it was very educational, making us (and the kids) think about the value of life and appreciation for our food.Īlthough a teacher telling mere elementary school kids to raise a pig is a bit absurd, the story development was very realistic. As you would expect, the students become emotionally attached by the end of the film, and the class is divided between eating it and passing it down to a class in the 3rd grade. We take our food for granted, often ignoring the fact that they are living beings just like us. It may sound a little cruel, but I liked the concept.
