The question before the spontaneous vision of this film is: “Why two deans of contemporary American cinema like Robert Redford and Terrence Malick have decided to produce this young and almost unknown documentary. After the first few minutes of vision of the fim have the answer. Laura Dunn is probably the new frontier of American documentary, sweeter but equally resolute Michael Moore, more willing to formal research and the desire of beauty compared to his colleagues generation “bowling for Columbine” Laura Dunn research and develops a sense of the act human vision of raising the issue at a level substantially philosophical and biological. While generating Moore denounces the urgent need to “bite” the problem and trigger reactions, Laura Dunn analyzes the fact the microscope or perhaps it would be better to say from a distance as great if everything were to see a large satellite circulating over problems environment and development.
Laura Dunn reconstruct the biological history of the earth and water of an aquifer close to Austin (Texas), a place martroriato building and contumacy the abuse of power. Tell the victories of environmentalists and politicians rerpubblicani sold, the tragedies of farmers but also those of manufacturers through splendid visual metaphors. A doctor describes the development of cancer in humans and Laura contrasts this lesson in human biology images of the earth devoured by his cancer: Enterprise Development building of men. Tell as environmentalists have lost a great battle for merit of a powerful lawyer in the pay of Republicans, the fact is telling the same lawyer while filming construct a model plane from war. Laura Dunn gives the public a document harrowing sweet and full of rich cultural contradictions that define the society in which we live and show at the same time the cause of our evil. A rare and valuable film and probably bring out the Academy Award all’arrabbiato “Son” by Michael Moore.
