Albert Gore, Superstar
From The New Republic:
AL GORE’S MASTERWORK:I hope this doesn’t sound too Arianna-like. But last night, I went to a screening of the Al Gore movie. And I found myself walking out in a strange mood. I had just seen a movie featuring a politician … and there wasn’t a trace of snark or cynicism coursing through my body. The film has genuine rhetorical power. It builds an incredibly frightening case without hints of fear-mongering or over-wrought moments. Because Gore is truly self-deprecating, the movie doesn’t ever feel like an ego-trip—although it does occasionally look like a giant product placement for Apple. At any rate, I walked out of the movie and decided to sell my car and begin otherwise preparing for our planet’s impending doom. I know this praise isn’t so unexpected coming from TNR. But I think the movie has the potential to become a seminal political document—a cinematic Silent Spring. It will certainly change elite opinion.—Franklin Foer
Be sure to read Arianna's assessment of Al Gore and his movie on the Huffington Post. She adequately paints Hillary as a phony.
