This movie is an excellent example of extreme capitalism. In the same vein as communism and nazism. Monsanto - acquired by Bayer - was a demon seed. Manipulative business model enabling a Franken food threat to humanity for yields and profits. The issue isn't feeding the world. The issue is boundless globalization, waste, and endless growth. What we take out, we must humbly return and adopt circular economy principles. Next time you see a big bully going against a little guy. You support the little guy because it's obvious what's at risk! Their business model and profits as the cost of lives and everything else RIP Percy and thank you. Thank you Louise for pushing to the Supreme Court of Canada!

It's interesting that we have access to more information at our fingertips than ever before in history and yet people choose to select a position and follow a narrative irregardless of the facts, or that there may be different side to an argument. You could call this left media propaganda from hollywood but there are more media production houses in canada than all of southern california. Whatever, it's a pretty mediocre production wasted on a top cast. One cliche after another makes for a very boring time. Big evil corp, check. Poor little 'david' figure, check. Google the real percy. He's not the character portrayed here, and the whole legal argument is misrepresented, regardless of where you stand. If you want to argue against the big evil corp there are plenty of stories but unfortunately the producers picked this one and twisted the h out of it. If you want to tell stories of the advantages of gmo and benefit to farmers, you'll have to finance it yourself because nobody in hollywood or canada will produce it. And maybe rightly so because nobody would probably watch it anyway even if it starred christopher walken. But, the most important aspect of the story was deliberately left out because most people understand where their food comes from and so this is just shameful propaganda. Big seed sellers do not make seeds in some factory somewhere. They pay farmers to grow seed for them, gmo or not. The problem is that if you plant your own seed but it get's contaminated by another gmo seed, who owns the plant and the seed it produces that now has this modification, you're benefiting from something that you didn't develop on your own but now it's impossible to remove. It's an issue for a court to decide but the law isn't made in the courts. The courts interpret law and what happened in this case the supreme court ruled that percy infringed on the patent so it did nothing to change how the courts upheld the patent. So what's the point of this movie then because you don't like the law then elect people to change it. Don't bark up the wrong tree. It's also unclear really if he won the case or not. The supreme court changed the award probably because they felt that he proved that it wasn't his fault that his crops were contaminated and did not intentionally infringe on the patent, but there's nothing mentioned about his legal fees and expenses to defend himself. So you're a farmer and your crop is contaminated and it's not your fault, should you have to pay another company (and farms are big companies, not mom and pop operations anymore), or should they pay you? That's the legal issue which they avoided throughout the movie. But still, in canada and the US, the law is, and has been, farmers can't plant with their own seed if it is one of these genetically modified plants. Don't like it, change the law.

Clark Johnson's 'Percy' offers a significantly simplified from the real story of the struggle of an independent Canadian farmer with corporate bullies and the legal system. Its telling is pretty straight-forward, but it's well-produced and well-told - and that's in large part to the high-quality performances of its cast.

Fitting snugly into the "Erin Brockovich" school of the little-guy-taking-on-the-giant -corporation, this film falls short in a number of ways. The stakes are lower; here, it's control of seeds, not a life and death struggle with cancer caused by PG&E. Here the evil corporation seems less aggressively evil; it's not clear that Monsanto is doing anything illegal. Here, it's fighting against GMO seeds, not deadly polluted drinking water. So, the urgency that made "Erin" so compelling is missing here. In fact, it's not quite clear what the battle is. The film starts as a story of a Canadian farmer (Walken) defending the integrity of his seeds. He argues that he did not knowingly use the Monsanto patented seeds. But the Canadian Supreme Court ultimately reads the law differently. The issue then changes to the battle against genetically modified seeds. Percy seems less engaged in this problem. And, as viewers, we are not told much about this issue or why it's so bad. Walken gives a finely etched portrait of Percy. He eschews his normal mannerisms and captures the hesitation of this reluctant farmer as he is drawn into battle. The direction and cinematography are nicely done and capture the toil that farmers go through. Unfortunately, this story never becomes a compelling film.

Yep whole point of the movie is good against evil....rich against the hard working family and when you stand up against A Holes then you know you're in for the long haul.
