This is certainly no Fahrenheit 9/11, Michael Moore’s 2004 documentary, which, whatever its limitations, was able to tap in to deeply felt sentiments among broad masses of people. The slideshow, staged as though Gore were giving a lecture before what would appear to be a very carefully selected audience, is interspersed with various strained attempts at humor, animated skits, flashbacks of Gore’s life and experiences and more detailed descriptions of certain environmental issues. The backbone of the film consists of a slideshow presented by Gore, the 2000 Democratic Party presidential nominee. Its aim, therefore, is not primarily to treat the very real environmental problems that it in part lays bare, but to create a new mechanism for ensuring that these problems cannot find a serious solution.įrom a stylistic or artistic point of view, An Inconvenient Truth is very poor. Al Gore’s documentary on global warming, An Inconvenient Truth, is intended to serve one essential purpose: bolstering the environmental and supposedly liberal credentials of the Democratic Party and the former US vice president himself.
