“An Inconvenient Truth ”
These days, it seems that we are so caught up in being busy that we hardly give our environment a second thought. We go from place to place, activity to activity and function to function just trying to fulfill our obligations. But we are forgetting the most important obligation of all, the environment. In “An Inconvenient Truth” a worried Al Gore pleads his case about Global Warming and the effect that it is having on an international community.
In the documentary style film, Gore presents astonishing information regarding the dilemma of Global Warming. Gore is presented to the viewer in an informational setting as he goes through his well-rehearsed slideshow. Gore keeps the attention span of his viewers by presenting the information in a variety of tones. He adds some comedy to tragedy and science class like figures and numbers.
The reason that “An Inconvenient Truth” is successful is because even the most simple-minded person can grasp the seriousness of this issue, or at least they are successfully persuaded to grasp this concept. By the end of the film, you feel this great responsibility to do anything you can to help halt the process of Global Warming. Even if you did not understand every single detail regarding the issue, you are left understanding the overall message that this is an urgent manor and this message needs to be spread fast.
Gore along with the help of Laurie David (Larry David’s real wife), Lawrence Bender, Scott Burns, Jeff Skoll, Davis Guggenheim and Leslie Chilcott attack a problem that is bigger than the universe. They take a chance to try to motivate people to accept responsibility for their part in this world and make change happen now. They believe in the possibility for change, and we should too.
The most disturbing part of this film is the fact that all of this information has been available to the public and the government for years and possibly decades, but it is not being taken seriously until now. This film is very informational and educational. Its message is thorough and inconvenient, but it is a necessary part of anyone’s responsibility as a human being at this time.
