1) What would be your overall review/rating of the documentary?
The documentary was sort of eye-opening. It was very pleasing to the eye; all those animations that were shown during his presentation kept the documentary entertaining. I wasn't bored at all, which is amazing! I don't usually like documentaries, the fact that I stayed awake for this one must prove that it was fascinating.
2) Did you learn something new by watching An Inconvenient Truth?
This documentary answered many of my unasked questions; for one: What the hell is Global Warming anyway?? I mean, you hear the phrase Global Warming thrown around frequently, but if you're like me, you never fully understand what it is. The documentary helped me grasp the concept a little better; who knew that polar bear and disease were affect by the climate change that's happening??? Seriously, the West Nile Virus spread rapidly inpart because of the rising temperature of the earth. That's crazy!
3) Based on the brief commentary we watched, what is your repsonse to the personal impact/role of Al Gore in the project/presentation??
It seems to me that Al Gore is deeply invested in this project. The fact that he went all over the world to present the same presentation about Global Warming for a slight chance that someone will be impacted shows more than just investment, it shows outright dedication. The scene where the director was talking about the plane ride to China, where Al Gore is seen working late at night on the slide show, show alot of his character. The director said that Al Gore wasn't putting on a show, that was him working on his own accord to make the presentation as good as it could be. This just shows how much he wants to impact the world, how much he wants to let everyone know that there is a threat. Not only that there is a threat, but that there's a way to fix it.
so...that's what I'd say if I had to write about it...
Until next time...
