Movie Review

 

Name of Movie: Earth 2100

 

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

 

Main themes of the movie were the behavior of north American society (and by extension, the first world) regarding natural resources, the un- sustainable way which cities are developed and how little we care about the future of our planet. It’s first intention is to create conscience about this topics.

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.

The movie is a piece of work, made for North Americans, and for North Americans. It presents the topics by shock, first putting on perspective some real facts, like global warming, food scarce or oil shortage, and the complementing whith a fictional story of a girl called Lucy who experiences the whole transformation of the world and society according to a worst case scenario. It explores the result of today most-likely to be problems in the future, and puts them on stage. For example, it shows how the lack of water due unsustainable consumption drives the city of Las Vegas to a drought and the impact on economy and society as a result. Also, the movie talks about examples in human history where societies became unstable in finally collapsed, like the Roman Empire, the Mayans or the eastern island culture. The key element is the story experienced in the eyes of Lucy, as through the whole movie she experiments how the socio-economic structure tears apart, piece by piece during the 80 years that the story last until 2100, and how some decisions made in the right moment (decisions and habits of today’s modern life) could have prevented the end. This whole scenario is showed in order to create conscience, then, to the spectator, and how he can be a tool and an actor on the demise of his own future
