An Inconvenient Truth: A review
I know this has nothing to do with drum tabs….but…..I recently watched former vice president Al Gore’s new movie on global warming titled An Inconvenient Truth and found it to be both educational and a bit cheesy. The core of the movie is a slide show about global warming that Gore has been giving throughout the world over the past few years. He speaks in layman’s terms and presents a future that is very bleak, but very convincing. The timing of the movie couldn’t have been more perfect as record heat waves are hitting both the entire east coast and many other parts of the country as well.
The second emphasis of the movie is really a biography of Al Gore, and what he has done. There are several scenes that focus on Gore’s previous political background and also his upbringing. He even speaks about deaths in the family and almost losing his only son. While this can be touching at times, it tends to the cheesy side of the spectrum and doesn’t fit into the movie all that well.
Despite this, I support the movie wholeheartedly simply because it is getting the broad public involved in the discussion of global warming, and in turn, the environment as a whole. Well done Al.
