Film Analysis

     


 
    Often times in life we are the bystanders to a problem that is way bigger than we are but we as the people who it affects the most tend to do everything in our power to stop and  prevent the problem from occurring or get worst. The film Disruption made in 2014 by the partficipants in the Peoples Climate March. The film was made to show the process in which it took days before the March even occurred. During the film it gave a variety of different facts in which to prove that climate change is a problem that has been here and progressing over time. The hour long film  produced and directed by Kelly Nyks and Jared P. Scott deliberately explains the impact climate change and high CO2 emissions have on our planet.
  In the film it showed how different groups came together to make the whole thing possible. In the beginning they proved their point of the March and gave specific facts on how we are destroying our earth and if we continue to keep up with our way of life the earth will reach its tipping points which then it won’t turn back to its natural form. In Disruption it gives us the over view of feed back loops and facts on how climate change isn’t something that just started. Climate change has been a problem since before 1959 when Charles discovered the keeling curve showing how CO2 levels where continuously increase over time. The film is made in a specific order that I think is very important for the viewer they show the facts then have sit downs with the main people who are organizing it so that we can get personal views and opinions on what’s going on. The March is mostly to get the politicians to recognize the problem so that they can address it. The problem affects everyone but the after math affects the minorities the most because we aren’t provided with the right resources to rebuild nor prevent the distruction. The film does a great job at showing the impact that it has on normal people and how it really doesn’t affect the people in power that contribute to the problem the most.
   In my opinion I believe the film was very interesting, impactful and informative. It help me realize that climate change is occurring faster than I think it is and if we don’t do something about it the earth will be at risk. The way the film was put together was very cut and clear which was good because it was straight to the point. I believe that the strengths of the film was the information part. It had very good facts and visuals behind it so that the viewer understands what’s actually going on. I believe their weakness was that they didn’t involve the rest of the groups opinions it was just mostly the leaders speaking. This film left me thinking and gave me the motivation to contribute to making a change and I also would like to show the film to others to spread the word even further.
    In conclusion I would give them an A because it was interesting and I was able to understand it. It also wasn’t drained nor repetitive. Over all the film really serves its purpose and may impact the whole world.
