If you see animals just as food, not worthy your time or empathy, you might as well skip the movie. Also there is no narration or any other form of description that will guide you through the movie. But it also is not necessary. There are movies who could have done with someone talking, telling us things. I have even critisized one "movie" that was only showing us houses (from an architect) - because I mean we could as well have just seen those houses in a book. We didn't need a film without narration for that - we have a completely different case (and "beast") here.
Actually it is more than one beast, if you even want to call the Pig in the main poster that. It is also about the offspring(s), chicken and cows. But our main priority and our main focus lies on the pig. And there are so many beautiful moments here. There is so much tranquility and solace and peace ... nature in its purest form one might say. And in black and white. As someone who could watch a bunny for hours just being a bunny, I appreaciate the movie/documentary a lot. No sarcasm or irony or whatever here. I really dug it and my rating is displaying that too. If you are aware of what you are about to watch, you can have that experience too, if you are open to and for it. And to be clear, just because there is no narration and no added music, the movie is not silent. You'll hear a lot of noises. Mostly and mainly from the animals of course.
