This movie was produced by the same woman who did "An Inconvenient Truth." So are we all going to die from the Earth becoming an uninhabitable crisp first or are we all going to drop dead from sugar consumption first? I'm not sure which liberal *beep* doomsday scenario takes precedence here.
Lol so I suppose climatetoligistz r mo accurate, eh? Doesn't dat make u wonder why they keep these loserz at da TV stationz who can't even predict dis week's weather?
OMG buddy you just linked to an article from the president of the Heartland Institute, a climate denial institute funded by right-wing anti-environment corporations and big oil and a petition that has the Spice Girls among it's signers (and the scientists it does have are ones that say they didn't even sign and ones that have no accreditation in climate science, as if someone with a degree in computer science knows anything about atmospheric conditions)
Your sources are as bad as your English. Believe what you want to believe, it has no effect on reality.

BBB, you've zeroed right on in to the main point. I will not see this movie, so maybe I am wrong, but based on the trailer, my belief is that the point of this movie is "make the government fix this!" I don't think the government will, I don't think the government can, and I don't the government should. All the best this film can do is report the situation to the people and then the people can change their habits if they want to, or not, as the case may be. There is nothing new being reported here; it's all been known since at least the 1950s.
I don't think the point of the movie was make the government fix things. I think the point was the government has been feeding false information and that people take the government's word for gospel and have been for decades(ie "why would the government okay it if it isn't true?"). I think it's for more government accountability and honesty and honestly what's so wrong with that?
It's not, but that is where this movie kinda falls on it's face IMO. As others have said, most of the points made in this film have been made in other films already (and made better by them IMO), so what was the unique angle? The only one I could see was the government's complicity in giving in to lobbyists instead of being transparent.
The film develops this premise, but then confuses the issue and ends up showing it's own political predispositions instead of staying its course (think the "nanny state" tripe). While comparing and contrasting the food industry to the cigarette industry was effective, they turned and undid much of that work by comparing food regulations to seat belt and car seat laws. There is a foregone conclusion that the government should not only be honest (which it should) but should fix the problem (which it can't). That being said, they did demonstrate that the government influence an industry, i.e. Big Tobacco.
While I did like the film, and if it was the first I had seen I would have thought it was revolutionary, in the end I agree with the OP: it was confused.

I thought that the whole point of the movie was that the government was at odds with itself.
Personally I don't understand why, if conservatives believe in small government, they don't denounce and protest government subsidies to particular industries. That seems like an easy angle with witch to address the issue and it has a nice libertarian spin.
Honestly I feel like the "small government" spiel is just lip service. It typically doesn't come up when it goes against special interests.
its just leftist tin foil SCARE mongering, they scare you with sugar, with hot summers, and WAR on WOMEN, WAR on BLACKS, WAR on immigrants, WAR on MIDDLE class, so the ignorant and weak minded people will keep voting the democrats in. Keep them in control and power. Yeah keep believing in those lies, let's ask how that is doing for Detroit as well as most of California.
