This was a very good show.

In 2006, in "An Inconvenient Truth," Al Gore presented persuasive and compelling analyses of climate data to combat apathy about global climate change. It attracted much attention; and yet, a criticism of that presentation was that it depended largely on trends represented in PowerPoint graphs. Those who are unable to interpret and/or are skeptical of statistics and trend data tended to dismiss Gore's message.
Half a generation later, disturbing and disrupting evidences of climate change already are widely apparent--it is abundantly clear that humans have changed climate to a degree that the effects cannot be reversed during our lifetimes or for generations to come. Worse, the pace of change appears to be quickening exponentially. It is spinning out of control.
"Before the Flood" drives Gore's message home by introducing real-life video of several of the problems Gore warned about--problems that are occurring now. In addition to the flooding of Miami's streets and the wholesale displacement of peoples who have lived in low-lying areas for centuries, the film heightens our awareness of less visible, but equally terrifying, changes in progress: the continuing destruction of boreal forests and thawing of the tundra worldwide, and the unbelievable amount of melting that is occurring among the world's gigantic heat reflectors that have kept our climate relatively stable--the ice caps and glaciation of extensive areas such as Greenland. The extent of the damage caused by clear-cutting and fossil fuel extraction--especially tar sands and strip-mining of coal--is shocking. By showing the concerns of national leaders worldwide, the film also shows how backward much of the USA is in acknowledging the reality of climate change and accepting responsibility for it. A disquieting thought is that the refugee problems of today will seem insignificant as compared to the massive displacements that will be caused by flooding and other climate-caused changes. We really are the odd country out.
To cover the extensive content and keep the pace going, the film resorts to fast cuts throughout. Yet we did not feel rushed--it was an artful handling of ground that had to be covered. Although Gore's message was valid and turned many heads ten years ago, the images in "Before the Flood" will remain fixed in your mind indefinitely.
It is a masterfully done message that everyone needs to view.

I love the first-person journey this film takes, through the eyes/ears of an open mind (DiCaprio), who humbly admits that the more he knows, the more he realizes he doesn't know regarding the complexity of how an entire culture awakens and responds to such a call. And yet the evidence and the science is clearly there, amassing more each day, as the film depicts. Most of all this film struck a very sad chord in me--sadness for what we've already lost and for all that we will likely lose over the next several decades, never mind the social chaos and destruction that may follow.
I can't say I feel optimistic, but I cherished the interviews with those who still held such optimism for the fate of our planet, and for humankind. I loved DiCaprio's heartfelt exchange with the Pope, and his honest interview with Indian activist Sunita Narain.
I disagreed when leaders insinuated that the masses (once educated) could turn the tide of political action. That might be true regarding social issues such as same-sex marriage, but much less so regarding economic issues. US politics/laws are inseparable from the financial backing of special-interests, particularly the fossil fuel lobby. And even if we managed to take the money out of politics, as DiCaprio intimated, the average American isn't going to change their comfort level (i.e. energy consumption) to save anybody but themselves--this is the real tragedy of 21st century American individualism: we've dissociated from hundreds of thousands of years of awareness and wisdom regarding our inter-dependency with all life on the planet, and arrived at a place in which 99% of our being is consumed by a slice of life extending no further than our own back yards. No doubt this is what the politicians bank on!
Leonardo's final speech was powerful--refusing to settle for simple lip-service, and calling politicians and citizens alike to step up and take action. I for one, felt inspired.

The United Nations states that a global move to a meat and dairy free diet is vital to save the world from hunger, poverty and the worst impacts of climate change. The Western preference for a diet rich in meat and dairy is unsustainable. Agriculture, particularly meat and dairy products account for 70% of global freshwater consumption and 38% of the total land use. There was not nearly enough emphasis placed on the role of factory farming in the production of greenhouse gases. It was not even mentioned that our consumption of all animal products (including meat, chicken, fish and dairy) contributes to more greenhouse emissions than all the trains, planes, buses, cars and every other means of transportation combined. The reduction of fossil fuels without the severe curtailing, if not complete elimination of the production of animal products will not be sufficient to take care of the problem.

Muy bueno, pero cuidado, es de la región 4!
Reviewed in Spain on January 5, 2019
El documental está genial, y la verdad es que por el precio que me costó no se le puede pedir más. Está en inglés y no tiene subtitulos en ningún idioma, pero a Leonardo DiCaprio se le entiende perfectamente, y en caso de tener problemas siempre se puede descargar de Internet los subtítulos en el idioma que queramos.
El problema es que el DVD aunque es importado desde Italia, se trata de la versión australiana. Por tanto, no se podrá reproducir en un reproductor de DVD (pues Australia está en la zona 4, mientras que Europa pertenece a una zona diferente, la 2), aunque yo sí que conseguí reproducirlo en el ordenador cambiando la región desde los ajustes (hay un límite de cambios que se pueden hacer). Por tanto, esto es algo bastante a tener en cuenta ...

Film documentario che tutti dovrebbero guardare
Reviewed in Italy on September 16, 2017
Attraverso l'impegno del bravo Leonardo di Caprio possiamo vedere e capire quanto l'interesse economico di pochi soggetti condizioni negativamente l'ambiente del nostro pianeta. Fotografia e scenari bellissimi, ma anche drammatici. Si percepisce l'urgenza di cambiare ed intervenire al più presto. Ognuno di noi può agire e spingere per il cambiamento. Da guardare fino alla fine. Se riuscite, portate una copia del film a scuola dei vostri figli perchè venga proiettato in classe. Da mostrare ai ragazzi e amici.

It is a wonderful film because he presents solutions at the end
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 16, 2018
In this film, Leonardo Di Caprio presents a compelling, objective and fascinating journey of his campaign to combat activities that cause climate change. It is a wonderful film because he presents solutions at the end, proposing ways that we can all work together to overcome the threat of climate change.
