... View Morewhat a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
... View MoreHome uses stunning aerial footage to tell the natural history of the planet and show how human civilization are destroying the natural cycle of life that was provided to us by Earth. The focus on carbon's history and the advent of plant life and other bacteria that gave way to human life provides a compelling, full-circle narrative of showing how this delicate balance can be thrown off course if we continue our methods of extraction and energy consumption. Home as a visually-stunning documentary serves an important role in cleanly communicating the history of the planet, its unique systems, and the ways in which humanity has altered them. While we are on a path of destruction, the documentary hints at solutions. Hint, because it is not comprehensive in paving the way forward. This is truly a love song for the Earth. A film to teach about systems. The solutions are out there and require further investigation.
... View MoreI can't think of the last time a film inspired me to watch it four, five, six I don't know how many times. The images and the message in "Home" are that compelling.With dazzling photography that seems taken from a balloon wafting around the world, above the hurly-burly of homo sapiens ("wise human"), this film chronicles the history of life on Earth and man's threat to this miracle.We see glimpses of places like Iceland, Spain, Saudi Arabia, Palm Springs, Borneo, Haiti, Easter Island, Greenland, and Mount Kilamanjaro. And we come away extremely concerned about how our profligacy threatens man's ability to inhabit the planet.I caught this incredible film on the TV channel of the City University of New York, which ran the credits in such minuscule script that I could not tell who did the mesmerizing voice-over and the enchanting music. Both were superb. So often I was reminded of Coppola's film about the Earth, the little-known movie whose title is something like "Koyanaskquotsee." The only complaint I have about this compelling work is that far too few scenes were identified by country. I wanted to know where these magnificent panoramas could be found. In addition, the filmmakers made the egregious error of stating that the Grand Canyon is in Colorado. Even my 8-year-old (who also was dazzled by this film) found this statement ludicrous! We are told at the end of this movie that we can help by visiting goodplanet.org. I'd like to try to follow up. It seems the least I can do. I learned a lot from "Home"; I just hope I remember it, and I hope I treat the planet with more care as a result.
... View MoreMy rating: 4/5 I think I was late. I should have watched 'Home' the year it came out in 2009. But after nearly 2 years gone the documentary starts to make more and more sense. After so many natural disasters occurring around the world in more frequently than before and in most areas where 'Home' hovers above, I think we are yet to experience the worst. Don't get me wrong. 'Home' is not totally a pessimistic look at nature's destruction by human hands. It's quite more than that. 'Home' addresses the world's critical issues which as nations we all turns a blind eye to or give a lesser priority. Nothing in this planet comes for free and nothing is limitless. 'Home' is the story about nature and its interdependence. It speaks of how this wonderful planet we live in was a blissful arena for the human kind and how we have become so unkind and ungrateful towards it. 'Home' speaks of water, air and resources which bounds all living things as one and the crucial cycles which were active for billions of years which now having a threat of breaking. While revealing some heart shattering facts 'Home' shows few of the most unforgettable cinematography that I have ever seeing on a documentary. While covering 56 countries from air, there is not a single shot made from eye level of a human which vastly gives the gods view of what's truly the planet earth looks like. Scene by scene 'Home' is a visual extravaganza and a treat to the brains furthest of corners. And the mesmerizingly wonderful sound track by Armand Amar just purely satisfy the senses and speaks to the minds in deep. There is a very strong message embedded throughout the whole 95 minutes of 'Home'. And it's a message which none of us can dare to forget. I sure will cherish it and do whatever I may do to keep the balance of nature and be grateful towards it. (If you enjoy 'Home' then there is a strong chance that you will also like powaqqatsi and Baraka which is one of my favorites. And then you can try Blue Planet and Planet Earth from BBC)Read more of my reviews at flickshout.blogspot.com
... View MoreThe theory of man made global warming is now nothing more than propaganda, an agendabeing supported by political groups. Science does not conclude that humans are the cause of a slight rise in the earth's temperature over the past 30 years. There is no consensus from the scientific community that man is thecause of global warming.doubt or go against the global warming theory is unthinkable. Now many of you may consider yourselves liberal, maybe not on all issues but at least on environmental ones. So as liberals, you are supposed to be open minded. Man-made carbon dioxide is only 0.117 percent of total carbon dioxide in the air and contributes only 0.0047 percent carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. The average person has been misled and is confused about what the current Global Warming debate is about, greenhouse gases. None of which has anything to do with air pollution. People are confusing Smog, Carbon Monoxide (CO) and the pollutants in car exhaust with the life supporting, essential trace gas in our atmosphere, Carbon Dioxide (CO2). Carbon and CO2 (carbon dioxide) are fundamental for all life on Earth. CO2 is a colorless, odorless, non-toxic gas.
