SoTrumpBelieve Must See Movie...
Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
Cissy Évelyne It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
Leofwine_draca BEFORE THE FLOOD is an engaging documentary that reminded me of the same quality as a Werner Herzog film. It stars the constantly improving Leonardo DiCaprio as the host, exploring the topic of climate change and visiting various places in the world on the front line: the palm oil plantations of Indonesia, the melting ice shelves of Greenland, the horrendous tar pits of Canada. The topic is explored in a clear and concise way, without preaching, just focusing on facts and methodologies that could be utilised to prevent the kind of mass damage than mankind is doing to our planet. An all-star cast of interviewees helps to make this a thoroughly watchable documentary, perhaps one of the most important of our time.
pjpinc-29899 Whether climate change is hogwash or not I don't see any attention being paid to the deforestation of our planet? The fishing out of our seas? The poisoning of our water? The current drinking water shortage that's never discussed? The slaughtering of our wildlife worldwide? Climate change is hogwash. The climate has been changing for millions of years! It's not going to stop changing. But let's please ask the likes of Costco and Walmart to stop handing out coupon books when we walk into their stores. Let's ask the Marriott hotel chain to stop giving out free newspapers at our doorstep that less than 10% of the people read. Let's STOP with the recycling nonsense. Don't pat yourself on the back because you're recycling. STOP buying plastic drinking bottles by the case. Buy a permanent drinking cup. Write to Costco, Walmart, Marriott and any other big company you see doing things that they could easily "change" to help this supposed climate "change". Climate change is political propaganda and a money grab. STOP DESTROYING OUR FOREST!
brincolina Before the Flood by Fisher Stevens, is a movie that follows Leonardo DiCaprio as he travels around the world to witness the changes that climate change has made. And explore the science behind of what's causing it and how we can help to minimize it. I like it because it shows a part of the reality that is happening nowadays.
jesses-66466 This kind of documentary can empower people because knowledge is the beginning of change and many big and enriching moments.Sunita Narain was featured in the movie and made a big impression because she showed the huge gap of mentality between developed countries and the developing ones. This Indian woman shows us the injustice and put in the foreground the environmental issues of USA.She explains that every developed country talks about the use of renewable energy but most of them don't put their ideas into action. In particular the case of the USA who doesn't take any measure in the environmental innovation. She also talks about the two big visions and goals of developed and developing countries, for one side this aim is to make people aware about environmental issues but without showing the example but how can we talk about environmental issues when the priority to developing countries is to give at everyone the accessibility at a source of energy ? This movie shows the impacts of human activity with the use of fossil fuel, deforestation, which put endangers the planet, the animals, the vegetation and of course humanity. Different visions and points of view from the world but a same morality ... It's time to change !
