Gore is Disappointed

Snow on Mount Tremper, Willow, NY

This is a comment made by a student about a new film, A REALLY Inconvenient Truth, which looks at Global Warming as a problem of capitalist production.

I enjoyed " A Really Inconvenient Truth" very much. It manages to give a critical evaluation of another critical evaluation. It reminds us that we should take every opinion with a grain of salt because even an opinion that seems to be somewhat revolutionary can be driven by Capitalist motives.
My one critique of the views presented on the movie is that Al Gore is not anti-Capitalism and i don't think he ever claims to be. He instead seems to be simply disappointed with the Capitalist decision to value money OVER the well being of our planet.
Still, I agree with the fact that if he wanted to make a real difference he would have done more about the issue during his term in office

Raw Cinematography

Comment from student:
I found the film to be informative and interesting. I liked the rawness of cinematography when the camera wasn't completely still during certain interviews. It added to the character of the film. The one thing I didn't like was that it seemed to be more of a bashing against Al Gore with little information of how the problem can be solved. Although maybe the solution comes at the end of the film. I agreed with another girl's comment in class about how the comparing of the two movies seems almost irrelevant as they seem to be talking about two different things, Granted the two are similar problems but I feel its more cause and effect against the reason why.
All in all I found it to be a good film and am very interested to see some of the solutions to this problem.
