An honest assessment,
By A Customer
This review is from: Un cri dans le silence (Paperback)
Bardot's book has caused quite a major controversy since it was published...many people were allegedly offended by the former sex symbol's honest and truthful evaluation of our society today. Yet she did speak her mind and why should she be condemned for this? So many of us, perhaps inundated and drowned by the current wave of being politically correct just refuse to open our minds to the issues that she brought up...the exploitation of the social welfare system, the gagging of freedom of speech by bringing incitement to hatred as an excuse and the convenience of pretending that our modern society is OK through a shroud of self-denial.Furthermore, many quotes were taken out of the book in little snippets thus taking things out of context. Yes, Bardot did say a few not too complimentary things about some aspects of homosexuality but if you read that chapter in its entirety you cannot call her a homophobe. What she was doing was simply expressing her own opinion about a small proportion of the gay community....not condemning homosexuals as a whole. The same goes for calling her a racist, did she denounce any particular group just for being of a certain race/creed and by that virtue alone? NO she did not. Her evaluation simply invited us to think and mull over how society has evolved and caved in under the auspices of this world gone mad with its desire to maintain political correctness. Brigitte Bardot has been a formidable woman whose devotion to animal rights has shown us her sincere combat for the protection of other species on the planet. Whether you are a fan or not she has done a lot for the good of animals and this selfless devotion and sacrifice as well as her honesty in this book deserves a standing ovation. Bardot...you are an asset and may you keep up your good work. BRAVO!!!

thank you for sharing your honest thoughts with the world, brigitte! it is insane that france has decided to fine you yet again for your comments of truth about the infidel muslims. you have been a beacon all your life: your beauty on screen, your stance and actions protecting animals, and now as a defender and champion of the west in it's greatest time of need and danger (from the islamic terrorist wackos).

Chere Brigitte, cela ne faite rien.,

This review is from: Un cri dans le silence (Paperback)
The French legal system has treated Bardot horribly. She is allowed to say what she wants. I didn't agree with every word but I understand how she feels the way she does. I loved the chapter where she complains how people dress now. I loved another chapter where she talks about how much she enjoys her pretty, long hair. I was not so fond of all she said but I still adore Brigitte Bardot. Any chance I get I like to visit her fondation or send a donation although the economy now is too bad to travel or make donations, at least, for me it is. Anyway G-d bless Brigitte Bardot for being so beautiful and for her work with animals.

ORDER MORE COPIES AMAZON!,
By Denine Heinemann "Dennie" (Portland, OR) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Un cri dans le silence (Paperback)
I say good for Ms.Bardot and let's hear it for the right to express one's opinion. And for Amazon for having a backbone and sticking to their guns! What, Rush Limbaugh is allowed to have a say but she can't? Amazon can sell Ann Coulter's book but not Brigitte's? And Amazon is supposed to ban this from their website because it offends people?? OH NO NO NO NO NO NO. We don't move backwards, thank you. I have been highly offended by some of Amazon's things, they sell real fur and while I truly wish they wouldn't, there's nothing I can do except, well, not buy their fur!
I'm going to order copies of this book {from Amazon} for me AND my friends. I'm hoping to put her on the best seller list!

Should be released in English!,
By
This review is from: Un cri dans le silence (Paperback)
Veuillez excuser ma tentative faible a l'inscription en francais.
Je souhaite que ceci soit libere en anglais. La semaine derniere juste, Bardot est allee sur l'épreuve pour "la haine raciale d'incitation contre des musulmans". Elle fait face au jailtime et a $24000 dans les fines si condamnee! En ce livre, Bardot parle son esprit au sujet de combien la France a change au cours des annees. Ceci inclut l'immigration et quelques autres issues-- le plus notamment comment les gens se plient plus de vers l'arriere pour adapter a l'exactitude politique-- meme lorsque cette crainte d''offense 'sera la ruine de tous. Bardot a ecrit une lettre a Sarkozy dans 2006 qui ont decrit son revirement de la pratique musulmane d'abattre des moutons pendant le festival musulman d'Al-Adha d'Eid. Brigitte Bardot a ete un long activiste d'animal-droits de temps. Pour cette raison elle a ete maintenant trouvee coupable d'inciter la haine raciale, puisque les musulmans radicaux font tout dans leur puissance de supprimer tout le commentaire negatif de l'Islam. Qu'est arrive au discours libre en France (et, tant d'autres pays que sont les revetements les memes dangers)? Ce cas entier semble comme si c'est une plaisanterie, jusqu'a ce que vous realisez le gouvernement francais prend ceci extremement serieusement. Bardot Libre!

Formidable!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Un cri dans le silence (Paperback)
Ce bouquin nous offrir la verite.....la verite que peut-etre beaucoup entre nous ne voulait pas admettre. Oui, c'est vrai que Bardot exprime sa point de vue parfois polemique...mais elle a dit la verite comme elle vois, pour moi c'est pas un crime. Notre societe est trop obsede avec les mots "politiquement correcte" ne peut pas exprimer l'etat d'une epoque nous habitons maintenant...bravo Brigitte pour votre courage et sincerite.
