Kid, 12 years old May 2, This movie has so much interesting and beneficial facts that i could watch it again. What's the story? He details the elements of the modern environmental movement and traces the development of his interest and involvement in climate change from his university days onward.
Gore details some of the elaborate and underhanded efforts by United States government officials to hide the truth about global warming from the American people. The film is accessible and communicates the science of global warming in a manner that is understandable even for those without a scientific background.
He also illustrates how warmer temperatures cause the melting of glaciers, which in turn affect the salt levels in the sea, increase ocean temperatures, affect currents and strengthen storms. While understanding the science is important, it is often easy to disregard the direct impact that these incremental changes are having on a daily basis. The film does an excellent job of addressing how the effects of global warming have affected millions of lives around the world: deaths due to extreme heat waves, homelessness due to flooding, and the more regular occurrences of drought, mudslides, hurricanes and typhoons.
Gore also outlines the impact of minute daily temperature rises on ecological cycles such as birds that starve because caterpillars hatch early and forests that are destroyed by extended feeding periods of pine beetles.
Most frighteningly, the film points to a catastrophic future for the planet, its ecology and inhabitants unless immediate action is taken. The viewer is horrified by scientifically calculated images of China, San Francisco and Manhattan, all partially submerged by rising sea levels which will result from rapidly melting glaciers, and by a computer-generated image of a polar bear, swimming miles in search of ice on which to rest.
The film intersperses the lecture with personal and professional reflections from Gore that include a family history in the tobacco industry, family loss, bereavement and a high profile career in politics. Gore frequently revisits his controversial loss of the US Presidency in , including in the film a short montage of images from the disastrous Florida election which first gave Gore the presidency and then took it away.
While his reflections are meant to illustrate his personal motivation to educate about climate change, the bitter political undertone does detract from what the film is supposed to be about: global warming. It is THE film to watch if you want to find out about global warming at least, I haven't heard of any better films out there.
I don't really understand all of the "10" or "1" ratings on IMDb. It's not a "10" or "1" film. Even its biggest fans will have to admit that as a movie it could be a little tighter sometimes.
