Earth Days Reviews
I used to think documentaries were boring, three-hour torturous snoozefests. This movie changed my perspective.
Who would have thought that Nixon actually were sort of pioneer in bringing environmental acts and policies in White House? I also thought him as "bad" president but this movie helped to show another side of him. Same goes for Carter. Had he been re-elected, environmental issue at this decade will be so far different from current. A lot of information but kind of repetitive.. Have watched too much of these types of documentaries? Ok, information given but what are we going to do about it?
Not bad as far as basics on US environmental policy. I'll never see Nixon in the same way! Worth a watch.
Great documentary on the history of the U.S. environmental movement and the beginings of Earth Day in 1970. My company aired this in our Board Room during lunch time today, complete w/ earth cookies to celebrates the 40th anniversary of Earth Day. Worth a watch.
Mostly a celebration of the past successes of the environmental movement from the perspective of old, white, mostly male activists. It is educational if you do not know the basics of the movement, but it is uncritical of the movement in general, neglects to mention factionalism with other parts of the social movements in the 60s & 70s, and in particular neglects to mention the Environmental Justice movement or critiques that the movement remains too white and too upper middle class.
The missing 20% on the rating depends on how we act after we recognized the issues that facing all human being and the ecosystem. Please, check your local PBS station for the showing schedule of this eye-opening documentary on your 온라인카지노추천.
informative look at various figures prominent in the early stages of the environmental movement with a much stronger imagery than "An Inconvenient Truth." The movie also points out historical texts, although most titles offered were by the writers. highly recommended to my extended family, on the basis the size of it.
An interesting but ultimately flawed and somewhat problematic film. It is like someone walked into a room with a huge handful of jigsaw puzzle pieces, threw them on a table, and walked out - while there are some good points made by interviewees and lots of interesting (though typically unidentified) archival footage, it is left to the viewer to put together the big picture and intuit what pieces are missing. I'm giving it three stars rather than a lower number partially because at the end, watching the credits, one realizes it was probably made on a shoestring budget by PBS station WGBH.
Saw at the Wisconsin Film Festival. Fascinating history of the things that worked and what didn't in the environmental movement in the US. Wonderful to have the legends of the struggle talk about what they did and where they think they failed and what they are doing now.
