Trump may have changed the ending of the film, but not the facts and meaning of the film

#為資情2##An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power# (A-) If you are still a little concerned about the future of the earth, you will not miss this one. But in addition to providing more factual evidence than the first film, the main role of this film is to fight against Trump and shortsighted people like Trump. It's scary and sad, some scenes are terrifying, and many are horrifying. Maybe not for summer, but it's the most important movie of the year.

The documentary that has been prepared for ten years has collected a lot of facts and data, but there is no way to escape the cruelty of reality. Trump's election is a major setback for environmentalists such as Gore in nearly a decade. In the film, you can see how difficult it was to realize the Paris environmental agreement, and Trump's decision on June 1 turned the most active advocacy country into a deserter, putting the United States in a very embarrassing position. Well, the United States has been in historical retrogression since Trump took office. It's a sad turn of events, not because he really can control the world, but because America will be further divided because of him.

Trump may have changed the ending of the film, but he has not changed the facts and meaning of the film. And it can be seen from the film that the ideas and goals supported by so many countries around the world, no matter India, China, Russia, will not stop because of a decision made by an idiot without a vision. He will only create more enemies and be scolded by more people. Environmental protection is a long process. In the past ten years, the earth's environment may be deteriorating, but people's consciousness is also changing. After all, there are very few people who stand still and step back. Therefore, in the end, Trump's decision can only arouse more people's attention and understanding of the matter, and even increase the attention of the film on the side. What's more, he is only a temporary disaster in the United States, like the smog, there will always be a day when it will dissipate.

The movie is far from over. Frustration may be just what sparks people's struggles. As an ordinary mayor in the film said, it doesn't matter what party you are, protecting the environment is common sense. Since the whole world has something that resonates, how can it be overthrown by an ignorant? Most people are more enlightened than they were ten years ago. Hopefully there will be a sequel in ten years to see more positive changes.

After watching this film, your most sympathy is probably not the earth, but the small group of Americans living in stupidity and division.

An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power quotes

  • Mr. Narendra Modi (PM of India): [at COP21] Democratic India must grow rapidly to meet the aspirations of 1.25 billion people 300 million of whom are without access to energy. Energy is a basic human need. There should be no place for unilateral steps that become economic barriers for others. So, we still need conventional energy, fossil fuel. And anything else will be morally wrong.

  • Al Gore: Ten years ago, when the movie An Inconvenient Truth came out, the single most criticised scene in that movie was an animated scene showing that the combination of sea level rise and storm surge would put the ocean water into the 9/11 memorial site, which was then under construction.
