I didn’t really care to see the movie when it was in theaters, but In the time since then and when the dvd was released, things have changed. My overall outlook on life has changed. I saw Who killed the Electric Car on the internet somewhere. I like this “new” breed of documentary that exposes the truth in a logical and usually visual way. I found it interesting and I enjoy the information I gain from watching them.* While Ill admit that what Al Gore is doing,** is somewhat radical, He was not intent on turning the viewer into a radical environmentalist. If he wanted to do that, he would have blamed specific commercial monopolies, openly insulted the government, and named the move animperiloustruth.
If you are not willing to see this movie simply because Al Gore is in it, I think you should reconsider. I have been wondering if I missed something, because everyone around me seems to resent Al Gore for some reason.*** I don’t see any reason to distrust or despise him. Just because he is passionate about this issue doesn’t make him any less credible, if anything it means that he has taken the time to talk to experts and gather scientific data to backup his points. This results is a presentation that gives the case for global warming in a illustrative and informative manner. Every 10-15 minutes the movie breaks from the presentation and turns into a sort of mini documentary of Al Gores life. Gore has taken this problem of global warming and simply presented it in a format that is easy for anyone to understand, he proves that this problem is a real danger as best he can, and then he tells us how we can work to fix the problem.
*An inconvenient truth, Who killed the Electric Car, Super Size Me, Fahrenheit 9/11, etc…
**traveling the world spreading information about pollution in the environment and its correlation with global warming
***Like sacrificing babies on live television
