This movie has good points in it and it delivers a message to everyone about the dangers of global warming relying on facts and strong evidence. Although this movie has many good points there is disagreement about how this message was delivered by Al Gore and the real intention of this movie.A Favorable Review:
Brandon Fibbs’s Review http://brandonfibbs.com/2006/05/24/an-inconvenient-truth/#more-130
The movie has a lot of facts that are supported by much evidence. As Brandon Fibbs said the way Al Gore presented was very good and having a little humor while sending this message helped to attract attention. Al Gore was supported by the fact that a lot of scientists agreed about global warming and he had so much evidence and studies that could convince even the most ardent skeptic. It also provided shocking photographs about the fact that the global warming is affecting the earth. Another good part of the movie is that it shows other studies supported by older records to let people know about what might happen in the future if it kept going the way it is now. On top of all these good points, Brandon says that the movie had a very positive note in the end when Al Gore mentioned that it is a moral issue not a political issue.
Unfavorable Review:
Scott’s Review http://brandonfibbs.com/2006/05/24/an-inconvenient-truth/#more-130
Although there are a lot of good points in this movie Scott and Eric think that Al Gore has made the movie politically biased and doesn’t support his fact with better references. They think that Al Gore is a really good speaker but he has made some mistakes that would make almost half of the people forget about what they heard in this lecture. One of the bad points that showed was when Al Gore talked about his personal life and about his family members to convince people emotionally. Scott also said that this movie looks as if it was presented to sell Al Gore as a saint and possibly future presidential candidate. Another good point that Scott has noted is when he heard Al Gore telling jokes against Bush and other republicans which might have made half of the people angry since they are republicans.
My Opinion:
In my opinion, I think this movie was well presented and it will surely help to deliver the global warming message. There might be a lot of people who aren’t convinced yet, but after watching this movie, whether it has political or moral intentions, I’m sure that it has increased the numbers of people who became aware of this problem and maybe even made them take action to help solve this dramatic fact.
