Have you understood anything at all?

Rating: 10/10 (27 May 2004)

There is a movie in which the (possible) dramatic consequences of Global Warming are displayed.
The message is simple: If we, and that is especially the U.S., keep on destroying our environment, there is the terrible danger that someday, nature will strike back.
In Emmerichs movie, this "strike" is a new Ice Age.
End of message, end of movie.
But: All people here seem to be caring about is how dull the plot was and how insolent it is to bother Americans with such a topic after 9/11.

I really feel for the victims of this tragedy, but the essence of the movie is lost is these complaints. Because if some kind of weather crisis would actually someday be happening, it would be far worse than a hundred 9/11s together.
It is always simple to escape into dream worlds - but the truth remains out there, and it is not about a quarrel between Liberals and Republicans, but about our future. Let's hope Emmerichs vision will never come true. But don't look away from the reality of pollution, wasting our natural resources and Global Warming. That would be an insult to your intelligence...
