Re: Movies as Catalysts for Positive Change

But when An Inconvenient Truth released, public awareness of the issue increased dramatically and the issue was put into the media practically on a daily basis. Unlike before, most of the public believe in global warming now and it's considered taboo to disagree with this notion. While yes there we...

Re: Movies as Catalysts for Positive Change

For someone who believes in global warming, what sort of positive change are you looking for exactly? An Inconvenient Truth lead to a lot of people to become aware of the issue and share your views of it regardless of how poorly made the actual documentary was. Not to mention a lot of politicians ar...

Re: Movies as Catalysts for Positive Change

The bit about public opinion and government reactions is a pretty big deal man. The fact that the documentary pushed people towards Gore's agenda and that it was brought upon so many politicians definitely made climate change a lot more politicized. The bit about public opinion only concerns people...

Re: Movies as Catalysts for Positive Change

I hate to cite wikipedia, but there is a section in this article that details the impact the documentary had. I think you're giving it too little credit, personally.

Re: Movies as Catalysts for Positive Change

You realize he just compared An Inconvenient Truth to Triumph of the Will and The Birth of a Nation , right? rofl I think Shogun's comparison is definitely fair and I think you completely misunderstood what he meant by that comparison. He's not comparing them in terms of their content, he's compari...

Re: Movies as Catalysts for Positive Change

Drew , wasn't the Catholic pedophile scandal broken by a newspaper. What I'm hoping to find is cases where an issue that had been hidden/ignored is initially brought to like by a movie.

Well, I wouldn't say the program itself caused positive change but there was a film called "The Boys of St.Vincent" which portrayed an ongoing case at the time of a child abuse scandal at the catholic church. Given the nature of the film, the judge ordered the jury to not watch it and crea...
