I think even the government is threatened with the growing truth of the upcoming disastrous global phenomenon called global warming. If you watch the film The Day After Tomorrow, the U.S Vice president was deaf and numb on the appeal of the climatologist about the possibility of the hazardous effects that climate change can bring to mankind. But contrary to that, in real life, the former Vice President Al Gore, made a documentary film as sort of an awareness campaign about global warming entitled "An Inconvenient Truth".
The film is simply a two-hour PowerPoint presentation, filled with cyclic shots of Al in different emotions ranging from serious to dead serious. The documentary is a perfect mixture of nature disaster movies like The Day After Tomorrow, Twister, and
Deep Impact, because of fierce prophesies and a multitude of frightful images about the fate of our poor planet if we will not ditch our so-called air polluting way of living. Members of the National Geographic Society even exclaimed that it was so far the longest campaign ad with a climate phenomenon for a theme. I think the docu-drama is sort of persuasive because it gave audience the trauma and phobia of the end of the world thing.
What I noticed about the film is that, it segued from fearful catastrophes such as tsunamis, hurricanes, tornadoes, and the great flood, to Gore life story. If we have
Batman Begins movie, and Smallville TV series, then I guess this flick is Gore's version of my life as a hero thingy. It's astonishing because of the confusing transition from the campaign about the climate to his full biography as a child until he became the lost candidate in the recent election. Those who went to see the film thought that, perhaps he's planning to run again next year, and if this is his kind of an election campaign, I guess he'll have a fat chance of winning.
