Yes its Al Gore talking about our climate.

No it's not as boring as it sounds.

See it. I got moved. I'm literally thinking heaps about my whole perception of life right now. Literally. No I don't mean I'm going to be a tree hugger but I'm definatley thinking.

See it see it see it see it.

Spoiler

As a film, I wasn't happy about Al Gore's personal touch to it when he talked about his life, the election etc, but I quickly grew to appreciate it. What did everyone else find with that approach? It got me by surprise actually.

I also learnt a lot. I for one was one of the people who was sucked into the idea that scientists debated on whether global warming was really an issue. I was also sucked in with the idea that some of these processes might be cyclical and natural...

Highly persuasive. It made such an impact on me.

Where and when at USYD?

Given that I finish the assignment due on Wednesday, yes I'll be there.

I enjoyed the movie. I would much liked to see him in person, give the entire presentation. Such a shame he wasn't elected.

I'd recommend the movie to anyone who is thinking about watching it.

Summit at USyd eh..

 

[bubz :D]

It wasn't as earth-shattering as I thought it'd be, but I was pretty shocked by some of the things he had to say.... though I'd already seen most of them in the trailers already! I actually fell asleep during the first 15 minutes of it but it got better... And I agree with what you said in the spoiler, Stef... it was a bit "wtf" but I didn't mind it too much.

I think its accessible and fantastic and that everyone should see it.

I tried to write an article for the uni newspaper on global warming and failed miserably because I couldn't describe all the causes and effects in laymans terms (prob because I didn't understand it well enough myself) but this film was so easy to understand.

Highly recommend it.

was a pretty good movie but after about the third "guess what, according to this graph we are all screwed" it started to get a bit repetitive.

Al Gore seems like a bit of a fundamentalist Christian knob.
"I'll make a movie starring me! Then people will take me super serial. Excelsior!"

Remember...WE MUST ALL STOP MANBEARPIG
