An Inconvenient Truth

I finally saw An Inconvenient Truth. Well, I napped through the first half, but the second half was pretty good. I thought it was very clear, and would be a good teaching tool. I did cringe when Gore went through his list of American accomplishments (...we had the moral fiber to end slavery...votes for women...etc.) as though they just materialized out of our ethical superiority and vigorous will, instead of of bloody and protracted battles with his cohort--white men in government. But, that aside, I think it was well done. I was intrigued because it was directed by the director of Deadwood, which I thought was always beautifully shot. Not as much cursing, drinking, or "coolies" in An Inconvenient Truth.
