An Inconvenient Truth

An Inconvenient Truth was a movie released in 2006 that was a documentary from Al Gore on his campaign about the issue of global warming world wide.  He uses emotional images such as glacier size changes, nuclear bombs, and the destruction of Hurricane Katrina to evoke the viewers.  He also uses many metaphors and analogies throughout the film as well.  Such include flooding causing droughts, the earth breathing, and a frog in boiling water.  There is a bit of fluff throughout the movie as he puts into play random tidbits of his own life throughout the film but there is a good amount of information on this global disruption.

I think that in some cases the movie may be a good teaching tool, but at the same time I think it would be best for a specific crowd.  Maybe for people who already have an interest in the subject it would be a good way to further educate them on the matter.  It may be possible to have other people watch the movie and realize that there is a problem, but it isn’t for certain what would happen because everyone is so different.
