Recommended cinema: An Inconvenient Truth. Al Gore’s PowerPoint presentation is a thoughtful warning and call to action. In the old days, we elected presidents based on speeches from the backs of trains. Then televised debates. Then :60 television commercials. Then direct marketing by mail and phone. I believe the next election will be heavily influenced by this sort of message-making (not that I think Gore will be the next president). Candidates will release their major motion pictures, placing their beliefs and intentions indelibly on record for all to see.
Let me know what you think of it.
