An Inconvenient Truth
Rating = B
My B grade for this movie
is the average of a C for being boring and an A for clarity. The movie
tries to add some interest by looking into Al Gore's history several
times: a serious injury to his young son, his family's tobacco farming
and the death of his sister (a smoker) to lung cancer, etc., but mostly
these episodes seemed to me to be a little out of place. You should
see the film, and you should stay for the final credits which provide almost
the only advice the movie gives about what someone can do. Since whatever any
of can personally do it so inconsequential and since (for those of us
in the United States) our country seems to lack any significant political will to
work on the problem, my questions coming out of the movie was where could
I move to, how can I outfit new home to try to survive the effects
of global warming, and what kind of guns should I buy to try to
protect myself in the chaos that will result if Gore correctly anticipates
the current trends in global warming.
