Justin, his parents and I saw Gore's documentary,
An Inconvenient Truth on Saturday. There were at least 15 other people in the theatre, which is notable since San Antonio isn't exactly "green city USA". I was probably among the youngest there, at age 32, though. Where are the younger folks? I know it's summer and it's not a date flick, but...?
We all learned something from it, and we all thought it was a well produced documentary and that Gore did a good job communicating it. I will be buying a copy on DVD for our home theatre library. His delivery was perfect. My only aggravation were the overt political bits -- flashing back to the election, etc., but I'll grant him that; politics aside that kind of personal/career setback can create a paradigm shift in one's focus, and in that respect it fit the rest of the documentary. In multiple ways he addressed why this issue is so important and why he's been so focused on it for so long, and in a renewed manner in recent years.
I wish everyone would go see this, regardless of their political or environmental views.
Incidentally, the marquee at the theatre (inside and outside, both) only had enough room for the movie to be listed as "INCONVENIENT". It was rather comical. Vertical list of movies on the interior marquee:
LAKE HOUSE
FAST & FURIOUS
CARS
INCONVENIENT
An Inconvenient Truth
