Ebert Reviews "Inconvenient Truth": You Owe It To Yourself To See This...
An Inconvenient Truth
BY ROGER EBERT / June 2, 2006

I want to write this review so every reader will begin it and finish it. I am a liberal, but I do not intend this as a review reflecting any kind of politics. It reflects the truth as I understand it, and it represents, I believe, agreement among the world's experts.

Global warming is real.

.................

Mankind and its governments must begin immediate action to halt and reverse it.

............

When I said I was going to a press screening of "An Inconvenient Truth," a friend said, "Al Gore talking about the environment! Bor...ing!" This is not a boring film. The director, Davis Guggenheim, uses words, images and Gore's concise litany of facts to build a film that is fascinating and relentless. In 39 years, I have never written these words in a movie review, but here they are: You owe it to yourself to see this film. If you do not, and you have grandchildren, you should explain to them why you decided not to.

16. It's a 2 1/2 hour drive for us. That will be lots of fun with the kids.
:)

I'm still hoping for Huntsville. That will only be 1 1/2 hours.

6. Excellent!
Even if this makes a small inroad into the Global Warming deniers beliefs, it's a good thing.

And I'm glad that it's such a watchable movie and getting good reviews.

You don't change minds by being preachy and arrogant.

24. Ebert Is Very Much One Of Us...
Be it liberal or Progressive...he's written some wonderful Op-Eds in the Sun-Times that were highly critical of the Repugnican agendas and their attempts to censor popular culture.

Roeper...who once had wingnut tendacies...is also of the same mindset now. His columns are some of the brighest lights in this once proud paper...until Conrad Black got a hold of it.

34. It's great that he used the "L" word!
And with no defensiveness and no apology, simply as a statement of fact. After all, it's not like he's got something to apologize for.

22. My friend saw it at the "Staten Island Film Festival" (???) & raved
She said it wasn't directed at us, the converted, but at the general public, who doesn't quite buy it yet.

I give the man kudos for showing it to Grover Norquist & Company. He actually volunteered to show it to "The Club for Growth", and paleoconservativwe group, and even though they "don't believe" in global warming, even they had give him points for having the guts to walk into the belly of the beast.

25. Hell, Al Gore has offered to take the film to the White House and show
it personally to Bush — any time.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060522/ap_on_go_pr_wh/bush_gore_global_warming;_ylt=AiI1vZgg5Csjpty0xCxFIrKs0NUE;_ylu=X3oDMTA3OXIzMDMzBHNlYwM3MDM-

Is President Bush likely to see Al Gore's documentary about global warming? "Doubt it," Bush said coolly Monday. But Bush should watch it, Gore shot back. In fact, the former Democratic vice president offered to come to the White House any time, any day to show Bush either his documentary or a slide show on global warming that he's shown more than 1,000 times around the world.

28. I'm a farmer and the weather changes are really distressing my employees
Today I made the offer to pay for anyone's ticket to see "An Inconvenient Truth" if they would bring in the ticket stub.

It'll be interesting to see how many take me up on my offer. My husband, children and I are planning on going Sunday. I can't wait to see if any of my Hispanic staff go - some of them speak English but all of them are desperately worried about global climate change. It's a regular topic of converation at lunch, daily.

37. It will and it should-Change Everyone's Thinking!!!
Edited on Sat Jun-03-06 08:46 AM by Pierzin
I am telling everyone I know to see it.
It is a shame Al Gore did not find a movie producer to ditribute this before now, as a documentary. I have been asking for weeks and weeks wondering, where are all the leaders with spines, who have the fricking cohones and balls to stand up for what is moral, honest and responsible???? And there he is.
If you know something is wrong with your world and the evidence is laid right in front of you what is wrong with it, what will you do?
I don't think America is ready for the bombshells to come, not with all the knuckledraggers and neanderthals who actually for Bush. Every country in the world voted for Kyoto, except for USA and Canada.
You owe it to your children to see this movie. I hope it changes your life. I know it changed mine.
Here's a link to get you thinking:
http://www.sonyclassics.com/whokilledtheelectriccar/
I am sure the rest of you will provide more links, but that's just one.

Cheers, and Peace!
