An Inconvenient Truth - Gotta Move For Sure

(2006) ★★★★★

A great documentary on global warming; about how we should do to save our planet Earth before it's too late; no religions, no politics, on propaganda, just show you a truth that we human beings should've been aware of long time ago, but somehow thought it was inconvenient and found it hard to deal with. And in a sense, we still do.

How much time do we still have before the water rises and washes us all away? Scientists said it is 7 years, if we don't wake up and start to do something effective to reduce the greenhouse gases that are deteriorating the Earth's climate. It's been more than 3 years now since An Inconvenient Truth was released. The temperature has kept going up. The ice caps have kept melting away. The weather has been more extreme and vicious than before. Still we've done nothing imperative, just kinda staring at each other, and waiting others to make the first move, so we've stood still as a result.

Everybody believes they'll die, but no one believes they'll die soon. That's why we keep pushing and bending till we finally break. That's why we never learn to cherish what we've already got, but instead keep chasing something we don't and can't have. The beautiful Earth is the one and only home we've got. There's no other place like this in the universe. Even if there was, it would be sure either too far, or too late to reach when the end began.

I felt guilty and sad and touched after watching this film. I was speechless for quite a while, and my eyes were tearful. Tomorrow's Earth Day. Let's give our sweet home a salute. Don't just feel sorry. That's useless. The truth is out there. We should do something now. It shows us some little things we can do to save our planet at the end, along with this soul-striking song by Melissa Etheridge, I Need To Wake Up.

Have I been sleeping?
I've been so still
Afraid of crumbling
Have I been careless?
Dismissing all the distant rumblings
Take me where I am supposed to be
To comprehend the things that I can't see

Cause I need to move
I need to wake up
I need to change
I need to shake up
I need to speak out
Something's got to break up
I've been asleep
And I need to wake up
Now

And as a child
I danced like it was 1999
My dreams were wild
The promise of this new world
Would be mine
Now I am throwing off the carelessness of youth
To listen to an inconvenient truth

That I need to move
I need to wake up
I need to change

I need to shake up
I need to speak out
Something's got to break up
I've been asleep
And I need to wake up
Now

I am not an island
I am not alone
I am my intentions
Trapped here in this flesh and bone

And I need to move
I need to wake up
I need to change
I need to shake up
I need to speak out
Something's got to break up
I've been asleep
And I need to wake up
Now

I want to change
I need to shake up
I need to speak out
Oh, Something's got to break up
I've been asleep
And I need to wake up
Now
