Movie Review

Name of Movie: Earth 2100

Describe/list/ outline the main themes of the movie.  (50 words)

The movie is a projection of what can happen if we are continues with the bad practices about the planet Earth. The topics that about the movie are related to the impact that the human causes at the planet; this is misuse of energy resources, climate change caused by the emission of gases, overpopulation, extinction of many species, etc.

Write a review (200 words) of the video.  Highlight the importance of the movie’s information/ themes/ topics to your own personal experience and professional perspective.
In the movie is told facts that are happening in a virtual future, these facts happen parallel the life of a fictitious storyteller: Lucy. She is a woman that born on 2009, she lives in the suburbs of Miami. Years later Miami is hit by Linda hurricane, killing thousands of people. In this moment Lucy and her parents move to San Diego. In this place she meets her husband Josh. For this time the planet had already changed quite; the planet was constantly hit by natural disasters, so many people died and the survivors emigrated, leaving many ghost towns, also many species of fauna and flora it had extinguished and the water, a vital resource, had just.
This movie is a very good example of what can happen if we don’t become aware of the impact that human activity causes. Remember that the movie begin with the opposition of the representative of China at the new environmental laws. Decisions like this can change the future of the planet.
Like a geographer, I can tell that this problem could have been avoided through sustainable public politics, favoring clean and renewable energy, waste recycling, protecting natural resources and thinking of new generations.

List a minimum of three facts, pieces of important information or “other” from the video that you would like to remember and would want to tell a friend about.

1. One of the facts that I liked went the analogy between the frog and human, because sample that the human and the frog doesn’t realize that climate changes occurring around them, however suit these.

2. Another fact that I find relevant in the movie was when the representative of China rejected the public politics of environmental protection, this produced very negative consequences, in the long run destroy the planet.

3.  Finally, another fact that I liked was the end of the movie, as it shows the possibility of correcting the mistakes of the past. Because even though the planet was being destroyed was possible to reconstruct through a more sustainable vision of the planet.

  1. Jazmine,

    WC: 427. Way too many words! please, try to stick to the number of words required, in this case, only 300!.

    Your review has some structural problems, but you manage to make your point of view clear. It seems to me that you watched the movie with lots of attention. The analogy man-frog is a really good one, I agree.

    Some sentences may be confusing, like.:

    "The topics (that about??) the movie are related to the impact that (the) humanS (HUMAN BEHAVIOUR?)(causes) HAVE (at) ON the planet"...

    Please, check your writing carefully before you publish it. Thanks,

    Cheers,

    JC
