I caught An Inconvenient Truth on Sunday. It met my expectations, which were high. Metacritic score of 74. It’s a well-crafted documentary, and you get a feel for how to tell a story. Al Gore says in the film that he’s given this presentation well over 1,000 times. The key? He remembers that every time is the first time for this audience, so he doesn’t let himself get bored with the same old, same old.
One tech note: Gore’s position as a member of the Apple board of directors certainly showed in this movie. I’ve never seen so much many shots of a software program as I saw of Keynote during this film. And the PowerBook is a co-star.
