On the Virgin America plane ride from San Francisco to Washington Dulles yesterday I had the pleasure of watching Pixar's computer-animated action film sequel "Cars 2." I knew there was some "controversy" stirred up by some conservative blog about director John Lasseter taking on Big Oil by making the fossil fuel industry the bad guy and clean alternative fuels and electric vehicles as the heroes. Apparently to the conservative blogger, "Cars 2" is another example of left-wing Hollywood propaganda meant to indoctrinate oil-loving American children into becoming Prius-loving hippies, or something like that.
So a movie that advocates conserving the planet for future generations by ending our addiction to fossil fuels and embracing alternative energy is attacked by a conservative? Isn't a conservative supposed to conserve? As in conserving the environment and conserving fuel. Aren't the real radicals Big Oil and their political allies who are radically altering the climate with unknown consequences by keeping us chained to carbon-based modes of transportation?
"Cars 2" is a movie with an inspiring environmental and clean energy message and I recommend it to liberals, conservatives and everyone in between. Kudos to Pixar and Lasseter for taking a stand against Big Oil.
The environment-friendly stand in Cars 2 also surprised me. Hopefully kids worldwide got to know more about the fight. While watching the movie though, I found myself asking if any of the cars could be a car accident lawyer orlando when collisions occur. It's confusing thinking of cars as people!
ReplyDeleteAs we know we all are using all non renewable energy resources such as fuels in the cars. These fuel can't be regenerated within a short span of time so we need to do is we need to conserve them first. But now it is the time when we need to realize the importance of the fuel. Recently a movie was made in which the importance of natural fuels. With the help of these films awareness can be created.
ReplyDeleteThere has been an escalating rise in the prices of petroleum fuels as well as the pollution caused due to them. It is therefore our job to do our part of the environmental help by trying to reduce the emission of global greenhouse gases by saying no to petroleum fuel and cars and by finding alternate cleaner energy source like solar energy or electric energy.
