An Inconvenient Truth

Posted on July 29, 2007August 16, 2020 by Village Vidiot

  “An Inconvenient Truth,” 29 July 2007 (2006), DVD.  Watched this Oscar-winning message biopic about Al Gore and global warming at home and liked it, to the extent that one can feel pleasure about such issues. Everyone should see this film, even if you’re already on board with the ideas (as we are). Still…. As a friend remarked, where is the discussion of the Gore family ties/fortune through oil investment?. What have they done with those holdings?. Pressured the companies to greater action or withdrawn from the firms as they did from tobacco production?. None of that is clear, of course. That is the problem of a gushing promotion as opposed to a distanced documentary and it’s real. Saint Albert also played some nasty politics on media ‘reform’ that sure haven’t helped the nation. By the way, I say that while admiring and basically liking the guy although I’ll never forgive him for running such a wimpy campaign in 2000 that it could be stolen by the Republicans and the Supreme Court
