Last week, I forced Kevin to go and see "Cars". And for the entire week afterwards, I proclaimed "Cars" to be "the best movie that you'll see all year".
Well, tonight I saw "An Inconvenient Truth", and I think that now I'm going to need to amend the above statement"
"Cars is the most entertaining movie that you will see all year."
Because now, I think I can say that "An Inconvenient Truth" is the most important movie that you will see all year, and it is in fact so important, that I think it is the best movie of 2006.
It is hard for me to form into words how good this movie is. Al Gore simply lays out the fact about what has been happening to the planet for the last several decades, and shows the disaster that is waiting to happen in the coming decades. It is such an amazing presentation, that I seriously don't know how a rational human being can go and see this film and not want to take global warming seriously.
Unfortunately, America doesn't seem to be too hot on science, so the pessimistic Andy thinks that we'll find a way.
But I sure hope not, and I'm already trying to figure out what habits of mine I can change in order to help improve the living conditions on the planet.
Bottom line: I can't stress enough how important it is for every American to see this movie. While it is not without some minor flaws, the subject matter is so important, and so clearly presented, that I think it can have a real effect on the course of America's future.
