Mandy and I went to see "An Inconvenient Truth" tonight. I expected to like it, but I didn't expect to like it as much as I did. I was pretty much blown away.
I was also humbled. The film is so well made. I had never heard of Davis Guggenheim [the director) before. Apparently, he's also a producer and director of the HBO series "Deadwood"
It was one of the few films I've seen that I would have been proud to have made. There are a lot of films that I enjoy but would never want to have made. This one was different. In that way, it was right up there, for me, with "I Heart Huckabees" and "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind."
Al Gore's performance is astonishing. It seemed to me that this film had placed him in the front running for the 2008 election. I can't imagine a better calling card or campaign platform.
I hope he runs.
