Movie Reviews of An Inconvenient Truth
Movie Review: Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds
Summary: 5 Stars
Seldom somebody has pulled off such a magnificent integrated marketing stunt as Mr. Al Gore with this "movie" (actually, it is a VERY long commercial for his associated business trading in CO2 "credits". Only rarely the true marketing character of this venture comes through, when snippets of 400 Million $ ad campaigns "to make people aware of global warming" flash trough the networks. The Gores always were savvy businessmen, be it father Gore with his Armand Hammer / Oxy ventures (oil business for those that are not aware), exploiting links to the communist block dating back to Uncle Joe days, or be it the son who has discovered that dealing in the ultimate derivative is the easiest way to make money (did he learn this from the federal reserve?). That the politicians like it is only natural: Al needs a lot of regulation to succeed in his venture, and he graciously has given a new life to ideas of even higher taxes, thought dead for some decades now..... So the entire elite wins.
Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds
Summary of An Inconvenient Truth
Director Davis Guggenheim eloquently weaves the science of global warming with Al Gore's personal history and lifelong commitment to reversing the effects of global climate change in the most talked-about documentary of the year. An audience and critical favorite An Inconvenient Truth makes the compelling case that global warming is real man-made and its effects will be cataclysmic if we don't act now. Gore presents a wide array of facts and information in a thoughtful and compelling way: often humorous frequently emotional always fascinating. In the end An Inconvenient Truth accomplishes what all great films should: it leaves the viewer shaken involved and inspired.System Requirements:Run Time: 96 mins Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: DOCUMENTARIES/MISC. Rating: PG UPC: 097363480846 Manufacturer No: 348084With the fate of our planet arguably hanging in the balance, An Inconvenient Truth may prove to be one of the most important and prescient documentaries of all time. As he jokingly refers to himself, "former President-elect" Al Gore felt an urgent personal calling to draw attention--as he had been doing throughout his political career--to the increasingly desperate crisis of global warming, and this riveting documentary is basically a filmed version (by respected TV director Davis Guggenheim) of the PowerPoint lecture that Gore has presented (by his own estimate, well over 1,000 times) to attentive audiences all over the world. Considering Gore's amiable, low-key approach to charts, graphs, statistics, and photographs that leave no room for doubt regarding the reality (not "theory") of global warming as Earth's ultimate environmental crisis, many viewers will be surprised by just how fascinating and convincing this no-frills film really is.
As we learn about the milestone events that shaped his character (including his sister's death and young son's near-fatal injuries after being struck by a car), Gore sheds the stiff demeanor of his 2000 presidential campaign and impresses us as a man with a mission, transcending partisan politics with an impassioned plea for common sense, ethical forthrightness, and passionate purpose in reversing the harmful effects of global warming through personal and political responsibility. Some may accuse Gore of exploiting global warming as a Democratic platform, but his honest conviction regarding this "inconvenient truth" (i.e. overwhelming evidence of global warming that's troublesome to those whose interests are threatened by Gore's irrefutable message) is likely to silence all but the most obtusely stubborn detractors. By taking the high road and discreetly avoiding a full-on assault against the George W. Bush administration (which has steadfastly avoided "the inconvenient truth" with obfuscating spin control and policies favoring the oil industry), Gore effectively rises above political differences with a stern but hopeful eye toward a better future for our children.--Jeff Shannon
