Former US Vice President Al Gore did not appear as advertised for an advance screening of AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH in Dallas, Texas on Friday. It was described as an "unavoidable schedule conflict," but it felt a bit like a "bait 'n' switch" to get more people into the house. When I turned on the television 24 hours later and saw him make an unexpected feature appearance in the opening scene of "Saturday Night Live," I understood the conflict.
In a similar way, the trailer for AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH feels a bit like a "bait 'n' switch" to get as many people as possible to watch an educational presentation about global warming. It promises pulse-pounding excitement, "the most terrifying film you will ever see," but instead presents Gore's multi-media slide show about the environment in a straight-forward manner.
As a rallying cry for environmentalists and those already concerned about global warming, it may be quite effective. As a motivational tool to convince skeptics or to incite non-partisan action, it falls short.
HI, i was wondering if you could give me the website address that was given out at the end of the movie, which helps us learn what could be done about this situation. THANKS!
Sure:
An Inconvenient Truth website
Then click the "Take Action" button.
This movie sucked and was really boring. I watched it to be told the same thing over and over again. The only cool part was the flood went over the world. that part was the only part that made me feel more bad about it
