MOVIE REVIEW
An Inconvenient Truth
Directed by Davis Guggenheim
Paramount Classics
If you leave the theatre after An Inconvenient Truth and are not scared into action or at least in deep reflective mode, turn around and buy a ticket to the next showing. This documentary focusing on Al Gore's crusade regarding climate change and its effect on our environment is compelling, eye-opening and unsettling.
I do not want to be living in a state with weather like North Carolina (I reside in Boston); if I did I would move there. I do not want to see a rise in insects who thrive in warmer climates and the resulting increase in diseases that are spread by these vectors (we have already seen a rise in diseases such as the West Nile Virus and Equine Encephalitis).
The self-proclaimed "Former Next President of the United States" weaves his slide-slow presentation with footage on his personal life. Through this we learn facts about the nature of global warming and how Gore became propelled to spread the word and ensure changes to improve our environment in the future.
This is not a political film, it is a film that will explain why we have more and more hurricanes each year, why we have longer heat waves than ever before and how each individual can make a small difference.
Gore has been speaking about this for 20 years. He first learned of the rising CO2 levels and the effects on the earth when he was an undergrad at Harvard. Gore began a crusade to educate and dispel myths about global warming. Recycle, buy energy efficient light bulbs, take public transportation more often and see this important, relevant film.
