      You can't watch documentaries with the eyes of feature films and sci-fi films

      That day, I originally wanted to give a review after watching Xiao Lizi's "Before the Flood", but I couldn't give it the first time. The reason was that half of the film was suspected of canvassing votes for the Democratic Party, and I wanted to wait until the election was announced. First of all, I do not deny climate change.

      The film starts with bible stories to scare the unsettled, and then simply names conservatives represented by Ted Cruz, Donald Trump and Fox News. Next, Xiao...

      Before the flood: Facing the issue of carbon emissions, there is still hope for mankind

      Heavy rains in Henan and frequent extreme climates around the world. Looking for relevant documentaries, I wanted to see the principles of climate science, but later found out that this is a political capital game on an issue. Very worth seeing.

      1. United States: Public opinion is controlled by capital. Interest groups behind the huge fossil fuel industry fund relevant organizations that deny global warming, promote global warming as a hoax, support puppet...

      Knowing is not enough, action is the beginning of change.

      The style of this documentary is different from Chai Jing’s previous work under the dome. It just puts those facts in front of you, and analyzes with you why some groups object, how they think, how to reverse their thinking, and what practices These can be effectively solved... The
      most surprising thing is that Tesla's super battery factory, as long as 10, can make the world no longer use fossil fuels.
      It also mentioned many easy ways to change, including that we can reduce ch4 by...

      Who knows where we're going?

      The 2016 documentary is now in 2020. I calmly see that the cruel reality in the film is still rampant, the meeting policy with high hopes is just a feather in the ground, and the future of worry and fear is gradually realized.

      At the beginning and end of the documentary, religious images are used to echo, how should we deal with ourselves before the great flood? As a socially influential star, Xiao Lizi has called attention to global climate change issues, but it is not easy, almost...

      before flooding

      This is a common topic: Humans are exploiting oil and coal resources and beef consumption, resulting in massive production of CO2 and CH4, rising global temperatures, massive deaths of coral reefs, melting of Arctic glaciers, and floods to come. Humanity is doomed. The whole film revolves around this theme. First, the use of fossil energy vaguely reflects the problem of unbalanced economic development. As the Indian lady in the film criticized, Americans live a life of luxury and waste, but...

      How the documentary itself is shot is not the point, but the content is easy to understand, intuitive and has a certain logic before and after. If the data isn't scary enough, look at news footage and images. There is also a lot of common sense on the official website of this film, which is really...

      There is no blind criticism, nor does China and other developing countries look down upon China and other developing countries with arrogance and prejudice. Approaching impartiality and objectivity. In my heart, Leonardo is not only an Actor who perfectly combines business and art, but also an Environmentalist who relies on his own influence to fulfill his...

    Movie plot

    This documentary almost followed the process of Xiao Li traveling around the world as a UN ambassador to investigate the environment, and Martin Scorsese also participated in the production. The film actively discusses the various impacts brought about by global warming. Xiao Li personally visited the North Pole to witness the rapid melting of ice and snow, and went to Beijing, India, Argentina, Italy and other places to discuss with...

    Movie quotes

    • Fox News Anchor: Who better to educate world leaders about Climate Change and a crisis that doesn't exist but an actor from Hollywood with zero years of scientific training!

    • Leonardo DiCaprio: I remember the anger that I felt, reading all these stories about explorers and settlers who would wipe out an entire species and, in the process, decimate the eco-system forever. The difference now is: We're knowingly doing this. It's just on a much larger scale.

    • Johann Rockström (professor, environmental science, Stockholm U): We are on average moving towards four degree warming this century. And we haven't been in a four degree warmer world for the past four million years.
