An Inconvenient Truth

An Inconvenient Truth was a rather informative film, even though it wasn't recent since it was made in 2005. Al Gore was almost, for lack of a better word, inconsistent in the way he got his message across. But it was this inconsistency that made the film interesting rather than just a bunch of facts. He would constantly reference to his own personal experiences which were either funny or relatable. In the beginning he talked about his teacher and how he told the kid that the continents ever connecting was preposterous. That story made people laugh and he got his point that you gotta look beyond the contemporary sciences and ask questions in order to find out the truth. He also talked about how during his childhood it was just him and his sister and how she started smoking cigarettes at an early age and how she died of lung cancer. This method of story telling appeals emotionally to the viewer which in turn makes them actually listen to what he is saying. One thing that was rather impressionable was the ice drills that had obtained samples from the ice and how you could see the dramatic change between the years with lots of pollution and the years where the pollution was minimal. The ice was a dark, dirty shade when there was a lot of pollution compared to the usual white shade.
