I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Powerful

A brilliant film that helped define a genre

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

Very seldom is one given the opportunity to watch a documentary like Ilha das Flores. It is less a TV product than an essay not written but filmed, and well filmed indeed. The ideas displayed throughout barely quarter an hour are so many and so profound that you might need more than one view to assimilate them all; but the script is so agile that you will never grow bored. Instead, even if you are not in the mood for documentaries at the beginning, will find yourself deeply interested in this humble production within minutes, if not seconds. But remember, you are not dealing with an entertainment product but with one of the best lessons of ethics you might come across ever. Anyway, that you will realize for sure at the end of the film, when its ideas, lingering in your head, will keep you pensive for long.

Beginning at a tomato ranch explaining every step throughout to the Ilha das Flores in a simple, clear-cut manner that is first Monthy Pythonesque funny, but becomes tragic to no end. It starts explaing what happens to the tomato, how it historically is possible to be bought in a supermarket with money and ends up in Ilha das Flores where its inhabitants must pick up food from the dump after the pigs has gotten theirs, this is because in the capitalist world they have 'freedom' and because they are not owned by someone like the pigs are.The contrast between the funny satire and the serious satire is so extreme because they are treated in the exact same way, but with very different implisions.Definitely one of the very best shorts, telling a lot with very little.

I'm using my personal VHS copy of this excellent short in my environmental awareness classes for high school, and students are always stroked by its accurate and intelligent issues.It always provides very large and useful discussion about environmental issues.With a very well humored screenplay and very well balanced use of fiction, documentary and table top animation, this short gives you an overview of what happens in our affluent society with any natural or produced good, with domestic and industrial waste and discussing some very special social issues.Interesting thing is that this short Ilha days Flores ( Flower Island, in English pronounced Ilya Dass Floresh) it is not outdated, not growing old and unfortunately still shocking when you think of what is happening with all the waste in our society, when people are less important than the profit made.

That's the kind of movie you'll see quite by chance, one evening on television. And you will never forget it."Ilha das flores" is the story of a tomato, from the field where it is cultivated to the dustbin, and beyond. It's fun, and, at the same time, it tells you a lot about the economy and the Brazilian society. What is really unique for a documentary is that the story is as pleasant to follow as in a fiction, and the end is one of the more stunning and moving end I have ever seen in a movie.
