An Inconvenient Truth is like a dramatic movie where you need to have some stomach to hold throughout all the length of the picture. You can even shed a tear in the very end, out of sheer enthusiasm or because you're moved. It's at the same time devastating and heroic, despairing and encouraging; it's the equivalent to an epic where the hero dies and the movies ends.
What's the difference? The subject of the picture or a better word would be documentary - eclipses the medium used. The "we" never had such a meaning, so full, because it is for the "we",the "us" in the broadest and ultimate meaning of the word, that it is set for.
All, with no exception, breaking the barriers of religion, sex, origin, political beliefs, cultural background or age. Many of the last movies to receive world-wide acclaim - not to say the Oscar - have invariably touched one of these subjects, ranging from the holocaust, to sexual orientation, war, racism, aids, cultural or religious intolerance. And yet all of these seem to be atrocities of a few - not dismissing their significance -, a sample of man at its worse, but can't be seen as mankind acting against itself. And i find this morally disturbing. The idea of offering a poisoned gift to people that are not here yet, generations to come, is such a weight to bare.
What about the movie,the direction, the cutting, the soundtrack? Well ... does it really matter?
In the end it said to spread the word, tell the people you know to see it, so: go on and see it.
