'We know how to profit but not how to protect...'
It's a documentary on the impact our activities now will have on the planet in some fifty years... you know - not exactly the kind of boring lecture about climate change you would expect, actually very interesting to watch. facts + personal accounts + graphics, the cutting + music = altogether makes it a good documentary/ A pessimistic one, but still a good one. I mean you don't have to be a green freak to watch it... and get once again enlightened on how things stand in nature at the moment. I mean deep inside we all know people suck, but there has to be a global awareness about it. There's a good example in the film - it's the success of an Indian businessman who's starting an airline and it takes him a lot of effort, and he believes in what he does... and it's just a whole host of very successful people on the planet trying to make life better, trying not to fall behind and... yet making things worse.
You know what - I believe in the force of such 'awareness art' - let's call it. Because articles and resolutions are boring, people understand it better through images...
Watching the movie you sort of understand that if people take it seriously and start acting on their personal level - it would be good, and you support the stuff, perceiving that awareness is necessary, but could it possibly make me stop ... say... driving a car, or taking flights that often...? I don't think so. Every lifestyle has its own settings - mine comes with all the dirt, the guy in the movie who's working for an oil company doesn't have to think he's evil... if not him, someone else would do it. And in the end - it will be everybody's and nobody's fault.
Ok, let's leave it at that:) and on this green note... good night.
