[792] Of An Inconvenient Truth

Two summers ago, a movie created a debate on climate change. It was The Day After Tomorrow. The movie was fun, Emma Rossum was great (I’m falling in love LOL!) and there was a Michigan t-shirt in the movie (Go Blue!). However, the movie exaggerated the effect of climate change. This May, comes another movie that will rock the greens’ world. It isn’t an exaggeration and it’s called An Inconvenient Truth.

An Inconvenient Truth isn’t a movie like The Day After Tomorrow. It’s a kind of documentary, with Al Gore in it. RealClimate.org calls the documentary as Al Gore’s movie.

I first heard about An Inconvenient Truth at WorldChanging.com. It will hit cinemas in the US on May 24 but I don’t know if it would ever reach Malaysian shore. Instead of Mission Impossible or The Da Vinci’s Code, I want to catch this film. This should be better than Fahrenheit 9/11. But for me to be able to watch it at the Malaysians cinemas, those in the US have to ensure the film receives good returns – the film has to get a good ticket collection. Why? At WorldChanging, in the same entry:

This movie will change the American debate on climate, if people get a chance to see it. But in order for them to see it, it needs to do well its first weekend. If you are an American and read this site, it is your duty to go see this film the weekend it opens.

Else, in absence of the legal version, as much as I hate to say it, I’d have to resort to piracy. So, those in the US, please watch it, so I could too!
