Thank You For Smoking
Well, I finally watched Thank You for Smoking late last night, and it was among the good films I have watched lately. After so much delay I finally managed to finished it.
Synopsis
The satire-driven movie is a story of a man named Nick Naylor who works as the chief lobbyist of the tobacco and cigarettes manufacturers. As the chief lobbyist and spokesman for them, he constantly spins the truth about the real effects of smoking at the same time trying to be a role model dad to his son. It centered upon how a man redeemed himself from a seemingly disgusting job thanks in part of his closeness with his only son.

Opinion
After watching this movie you will get a realization just how much truth and lies are being thrown at you. The hard part is not about choosing the wrong one but the process of choosing which one.
One basic subtle message of the film is that of God being fair. He gives everyone the right to choose what’s wrong and bad, unlike some other powers in our society that thinks they are the guardians of truth, that what they say is the right one and resistance is futile.
Don’t settle for thruthiness!
Definitely a very good movie. 4.5/5 stars
