The movie we watched in class was called "An Inconvenient Truth." It was like a documentary about Al Gore and his motive to educate people about global warming. I actually liked this movie. It was very influential to me, since I am passionate about the environment like Gore. I give him props for going out on his own and talking about this global problem.
I found the information to be quite shocking. I had never realized global warming was that immediate. It was interesting to see the projections that were being made for 2010 and older and to watch the movie now and see what it is really like. I believe the projections made in the early 2000's were fairly accurate for today.
A memorable part of the movie for me was the animation of the land being overtaken by water. It was amazing to see part of the science behind the melting of the ice caps and ice lands. It was hard to see that so many people could be affected by such a small change in the ocean. I could not believe that things like that are happening without the general public's knowledge. Well, I guess the general public would not care. I am just not the general public. I look at this problem as serious. I think the public should care and be warned and knowledgeable on this subject. What could happen just possibly might.
Another memorable part of the movie was the credits. I do not really know why. I think it was the combination of the music and the impact of the words. I felt sad and wanted to do something to help save the earth and our lives.
This movie has motivated me to reach my dreams of helping save the planet. I do not know what kind of occupation I want, but I know I want to be involved with something that impacts people's lives and the way they live.
