48. "not covered in the trailer:"
In response to In response to 47


  

          

First off, the trailer has all the scary bits. Most of the presentation is done in measured, rational tones. The trailer is trying to get people into the theatre, remember.

Secondly, the trailer doesn't show all the data that the film shows. As an example, the trailer says la la la the hottest years on record have been in the last ten years la la la. At that point, my best friend turned to me and said, but we've only been measuring temperature for 120 years. And that's fair. So it's further information when you go to see the film and learn about how temperature and CO2 levels have been measured going back 650,000 years.

Finally, the trailer doesn't show the plot twist where Gore talks about what we can do as individuals and as nations. That to me is the core of the film.

There are other plot twists not shown in the trailer, but I'd get in trouble for revealing spoilers if I told you about them.

So you're not even planning to see the film?

      while the issue IS bigger than liberal vs. conservative,
Jun 06th 2006
19
      I agree with you, and this is just the problem
Jun 06th 2006
22
           remember what Gore says in the film, though

           because none of those will end civilization forever
Jun 06th 2006

           that's not how loads of your countrymen see it
Jun 06th 2006

32
                have you seen the film?
Jun 07th 2006
33
                I think by having Al Gore as the spokesperson
Jun 07th 2006
37
                     so you haven't seen the film
Jun 07th 2006

                               maybe in a vacuum it would be ridiculous
Jun 07th 2006
41
                               I don't think further attatching the issue to a partisan
Jun 07th 2006

Jun 07th 2006

                                    Is there a plot twist not covered in the trailer?
Jun 07th 2006
47

Jun 07th 2006
