The Last Tourist – 3

You could make a movie about the problems caused by the cruise industry, or the evil of raising and training wild animals for human amusement, or the lack of qualifications required to volunteer teach in the developing world, or the self-absorption promoted by social media, or the difficulty of experiencing art masterpieces, or overpopulation in general, but to address them all superficially, lay the blame on “tourism” and call your film The Last Tourist is not insightful, instructive or helpful. You might as well make a movie called Money and list all the bad things people do to get rich. Moreover,  the film reeked of moral superiority over the masses depicted who, because of lack of funds or education, weren’t taking the kinds of culturally rich vacations that you and I sign up for. I am told that the film got better toward the end, but I could only take an hour.
