The film is 100% calm and objective when it comes to discourse, which is normal for a documentary. It uses the process of former US presidential candidate Al Gore's speech as a clue, and uses a large number of data and examples to illustrate a common environmental problem - the truth of global temperature warming, and to make factual demonstrations and bold assumptions about its impact and harm. Due to the indulgent emission of carbon dioxide, the global temperature is only warming, and the resulting series of "greenhouse effects" are unimaginable: glacier condensation, freshwater shortage, heat waves in South Asia, floods in Europe, hurricanes in the Americas, droughts in Africa, dramatic changes in ocean currents, and ecological crises ...
However, while the film continues its documentary style, it is also interspersed with Gore's personal life experiences. The revelation of the professors in the university on environmental issues, growing up on the farm as a child, the thrilling experience of almost losing a son, the feeling of losing the presidential election, the rise and fall of my father's tobacco kingdom... Through a frank inner monologue, I bring out my past The life experience is just right with the topic of the speech, the political responsibility of the American leader, and the worry about the deterioration of the environment. This kind of treatment makes the sublimation of the film's theme more emotional and profound.
For so many years, Gore has been diligently alerting mankind to the crisis of global warming in the way of his speeches, as well as this documentary. I still remember the question of our next generation at the end of the film, which makes people feel sad: I don’t know what our parents thought, why not prevent the environment from deteriorating so much?
If there is no action, I think we will be speechless.
