This is a well done documentary, if you are concerned about the state of the environment, check this out.Movie Review: The Next Lesson After "An Inconvenient Truth."
Summary: 5 Stars
At first, the idea of Leonardo DiCaprio producing a documentary on global warming made me wonder. Yet Leo certainly did a great job, both with the production and with his narration. It took the concept a step beyond AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH, which concentrated mainly on the facts. Leo brought in accomplished scientists and engineers to outline solutions - which most people, I'm sure, don't even know exist. These experts emphasized something that I don't think many people are aware of: We have the solutions. We have the technology to get back on track and begin to restore the Earth. There are methods that have already been tested and perfected, and if the Powers That Be were willing, we could get the ball rolling NOW. Yet it is that very power structure that is holding us back for the sake of lining its own pockets. In one sense, DiCaprio might be preaching to the choir - but on the other, his film is shouting loud enough to reach beyond the church walls. The film has all the impact of Michael Moore's SICKO. Congratulations, Leo. You've done your part.
Now: Who is going to take the next step? Who is going to stick his or her neck out and emphasize that if we don't start to heal the planet NOW, the rich and powerful won't have much time to enjoy their wealth and power. What good is having control over thousands of people when those thousands are too weak and sick to work? What good are fancy cars when there's no place to go anymore? Contrary to what some people think, we can't wait for that generation to retire or die off. Now that we know what the problem is and how to correct it, what next? Al, Michael, Leo - which of you (or perhaps all of you working together?) can convince those who hold us back that it's in their best interests to heal the planet as well?
Movie Review: Wake Up!
Summary: 5 Stars
The world & corporations MUST collaborate to develop plug-in hybrids (Honda, Toyota, BMW, GM, Ford, etc). The world MUST collaborate to develop, build, and deploy all forms of alternative renewable energy, like solar, wind, geothermal technologies. We must create international laws for all poluters, including ships that toss their garbage into the seas, and people who do not recycle trash. No subsidies for the oil, coal & corn ethanol industries either!
Movie Review: What a movie
Summary: 5 Stars
Amazing movie that shows our inevitable destruction of ourselves and other species on the planet, yet Earth will continue as will life. Also an uplifting movie that illustrates we are certainly capable of saving ourselves if we choose to do so. The great message of this movie is it shows our need for leadership and cooperation all across the world. Movie Review: some new insights for me
Summary: 4 Stars
I thought I knew what to expect from this film when I bought it but it was the little insights and bits I hadn't heard before that made it worth while for me--the concept of ancient sunlight, native American viewpoints on what we've done to the planet, and attempts to bring technology back to natural ideals.
I would recommend it as a supplement to some of the other films on the subject of global warming.
