M (wwwgoodreadscomprofilem) | 337 comments "Home" by Yann Arthus-Bertrand and Luc Besson is a beautiful, visually stunning movie with a lot of sense and intelligence.
The aim is to sensitize of the importance of Global Warming and resource depletion.

"Home" begins with a review of the major mechanisms that have enabled the emergence of life on Earth and then analyze the influence of human on its environment. The speech is convincing, with gorgeous images that illustrate about the magnitude change: it's a magic of colors.

Yann Arthus-Bertrand shows us from an aesthetic beauty but the pictures doesn't diminish the force of his argument.

After notable films like " An Inconvenient Truth" by David Guggenheim (2006), " We Feed the World" by the Austrian filmmaker Erwin Wagenhofer (2007) , "Home" is a great success, a bold and generous initiative, a film with strong objectives of raising awareness.

Do you think that this film "Home" can convince us of our individual and collective responsability towards the planet?

Ingy (ngnoah) The film has been out for over a year now..
Those who watched it, what do you think about it?
I loved it! Though I think that at some point the movie was too pessimistic about the future of the planet under Global warming, mentioning threats that some scientists say are not very accurate.
What do you think?
I'll be back with more details..
