Truth Be Told
I have seen this documentary many a times and each time I see it, the information as well as the bias becomes quite predominant. The information was very accurate, as so I believe, and the way Al Gore supported it and presented it made it easy to understand as an outside viewer. His use of graphs and the fork lift really raised my eye brows, especially taking into account how much the human population has rapidly changed, not only in population, but as well as partaking in ozone depleting actions. Consequently, his method of delivery, a lecture, made it very monotonous and sleep inducing. Just him standing up there, talking, and pointing made it seem that his only intent was to convey his belief to a liberal audience. His motives consisted of persuading the audience into what he believed, through the use of ethos and childish cartoons. He mentioned the death of son and the fact that he lost the presidency in his presentation, and I thoroughly believe he did that to help persuade the views of his audience. With regards to the cartoons, they were informative; yet, they were seemingly childish. The use of the this clip was obviously used, to gain the attention of the younger generation and to potentially add an attention grabber/ "waker-upper". All in all, Gore succeeded in his main plan to get the information across, without trying to gain political support. I would not really recommend this documentary to anyone, unless one was interested in learning about global warming.
