first he Al Gore states that this documentary is not politically motivated, i personally do not believe it myself.he had a funny comment about his teacher and a student on how the student asked the professor if the earth moves?the teacher then begun to laugh, then he stated that the student of whom asked that question became a drug user looser type of individual and the professor went on to be successful in his profession. i think that he was trying way too hard o convince his viewers. i personally do not think new media can change the world totally but it can effect certain groups or individuals who may view you- tube, twitter, face- book etc, the company who viewed it might want to donate to global warming and great causes to save our planet. just look at all of the natural disasters such as Hurricane Katrina, so horrible to see so many people displaced with lost loved ones. it can be meaningfull in a conversation depending on who specifically is listening, i think these type of political documentaries have hidden agendas to try and gain peoples trust and to gain revenue, why did he mention his book so many times?it was good to see i learned alot, i feel they used Al Gores face to influence conservative America to listen.i really did not enjoy his jokes and dry scense of humor.
2. i learned about ethanol and global warming and its drastic effects on our planets eco-systems, i need to learn more about this topic so i researched these websites.http://www.globalwarming.com

Yes, even know I like Al Gore and I did like the movie... he did seem to try a little too hard at times in the movie. I think the evidence in the and he should of let it speak for itself!
ReplyDeleteI don't know, I feel he had to insert personal anecdotes so that people would view him as a real person and not a talking head. It also showed that he wasn't just an environment freak, but that there were certain people and events in his life that led him to his passion of bringing Global Warming awareness to the world.
ReplyDeleteYour comments on branding, book sales, corporate marketing of environmental hot button issues were great. I love the fact that Al Gore chose this way to talk smack and shut up the Bush eco-bull. Even though Al Gore was publicly humiliated by lesser fools, he came out swinging with his own dry humor and high school science class visual aids. This film could have become a real 'kill the messenger' moment. But the truth of this film makes up for it's shortcomings don't you think?
