The Possibility of Hope - Children of Men Extra (part 3/3)

It's an ideological film, but which documentary isn't? The people in the film would disagree with each other on these topics if they were put face to face, so I would hardly call it propaganda. It is a presentation of their views, not a scientific study.

The first step is to figure out what's going on.

I think Lovelock with his gaia hypothesis is the worst kid of ideologue..

Meh.

I think the Hypothesis is crazy, but its not really relevant to what he says in this film. Here he's basically saying 'live long and prosper and don't fret too much about the future'. Sure, that may have some Gaian subtext (a la, 'the planet WILL sort itself out) but it still is better than the alarmist attitudes of the others.

the alarmist attitude, in my humble opinion, is far more appropriate. when one takes a indepth look into the state of our society/economy, on a global level, any other view is either naivity or unrealism.
