The language of the film is in-depth and concise, which is what I especially admire. It is a very serious and professional subject, but it can make it interesting for people like me who have little understanding of natural science. It should not be easy. Try to avoid using too many words that are too technical, but not too shallow and unconvincing, and let the audience accept a lot of information without confusing... Winning the Oscar is a real name. As a propaganda film for the public, it was very successful.
I believe that many people who have watched the film will have an urge to do something immediately to support environmental protection. But in fact, it doesn't last long, it's just a temporary enthusiasm. After all, we are just ordinary people. Compared with ordinary people's life, an environmentally friendly life is always a bit inconvenient, such as traveling as a bus, replacing paper towels with handkerchiefs, not turning on air conditioners in summer, not using electric heating equipment in winter, and carrying chopsticks when going out to eat... It's not easy to do. Most of the time, after persevering for a while, I finally gave up bit by bit, and the excitement when I just finished watching it has disappeared.
I can't guarantee how far I will be environmentally friendly, and how long I will persist, and I don't want to be too strict with myself. In the past, I only did a little thing about environmental protection, just like the "negative morality" that Long Yingtai said: go to the supermarket to bring your own shopping bags and use them repeatedly; turn off the lights when you leave the room, and try not to use them if there is enough light. Turn on the lights; turn on the air conditioner less in summer, and use the dryer less when there is a place to dry clothes; use your own chopsticks when ordering takeout or eating instant noodles in the dormitory... and so on. But I don't always remember to do it, and I don't ask myself to be so dedicated every time. Because the requirements for yourself are a little looser, it is easier to stick to it. For example, if you are in a bad mood today and don't want to wash your chopsticks, then use disposable ones. The next time I feel guilty, I resume my eco-friendly life. I have always believed that this approach is useful, even if the impact is very small, it is better than not doing it at all. I don't know if the same is true for others.
I liked the end of the film, listing some behaviors and telling us how these people should "act". One of them is to the effect: call the power company and ask if they use new energy, and if not, ask him why he doesn't. I definitely wouldn't make this call, but a very cute and stubborn old man suddenly appeared in front of me. He questioned the government and related units over and over again, and took the trouble to explain the danger of environmental protection to people. It has been said more than 1000 times, but it is always full of enthusiasm and a sense of responsibility to the whole society.
