Just saw Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth. I have three things to say:
- You need to see this movie.
- As much as I’m afraid to get my hopes up about Gore running for president again, this film convinced me that he’s at least considering it, despite what he says publicly.
- If you’re utterly baffled as to why I would want him to run again, refer to #1.
Two reviews worth reading:
In 39 years, I have never written these words in a movie review, but here they are: You owe it to yourself to see this film. If you do not, and you have grandchildren, you should explain to them why you decided not to.
Franklin Foer, The New Republic (h/t Jordan):
The film has genuine rhetorical power. It builds an incredibly frightening case without hints of fear-mongering or over-wrought moments….I think the movie has the potential to become a seminal political document—a cinematic Silent Spring.
YAY AREA!!!
