Movie Review: Before Fisher Stevens flood

For just one hour and one and a half hours long, ‘before flood’ does not say much about how climate change can be completely stopped, and perhaps, with good reasons. Director Fisher Stevens, whose academy-proclaimed winner, ‘The Cove’ exposed the brutal slaughter of Dolphin in Japan, teams with Leonardo Dicaprio traveled around the world and traveled around the world to discover shocking effects, which have taken place worldwide. The film opens with famous painting by Jheronimus Bosch, ‘The Garden of Worldly Dillytes’, a canvas that the United Nations Envoy of Peace remembers his oldest memory as a child, as it hanged on top of him as a child. The 15th -century tripstation is probably the most ambitious task of the bosch, which continues to the actor’s head, serving as a powerful metaphor for the growing concern of climate change. Even by 2015, there were many politicians and spokespersons who denied that climate change was real despite scientific evidence.

For areas with adverse effects on the environment, the journey of dicaprio focus on a primary cause that is common everywhere: climate change is promoted with man -made effects, but it is nature and wildlife that pays ultimate value. Furthermore, the documentary urges us to see what fuel, a dangerous real situation has become from the politics of greed. In his conversation with people from different countries, he makes Dikaprio realize a great truth that persecutes him. He finds disappointment, as he gradually starts realizing the imperative of destruction – a storm that was predicted to arrive after centuries, is now far from creating final destruction for decades.

The documentary infects interviews with powerful scenes, sometimes echoes the hero’s concerns. However, Dicaprio is most often a observer, an ant that discovers the body of the elephant. This issue is not in a unique factor, but there are many factors. In Canada, the forest land has been cut by large corporations for oil sand, which is harmful to the environment. Due to untimely rains in India, farmers lose crops. In Indonesia, the construction of palm oil orchards causes loss of forest cover. There is corruption. There is pollution. There is ignorance. The hero slowly loses hope. To accept that the problem exists is also important before trying to solve it. In return, as the film moves forward, it acts as an important call to take collective action, raising awareness for the rapid deteriorating climate situation.

In a meeting with the Pope, Dicaprio is reminded that the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement is just the beginning. Global leaders have agreed to unite the reality of the situation. It is here that his apprehension sometimes slowly starts looking for a light of hope, which lies in personal action that will gradually turn into a group’s effort. Bosch painting resonates a crowd of meaning here. If the leftist of their painting is an ecosystem that is untouched before Adam and Eve, then we are currently in the central panel. The world is full of chaos, sin and greed. Fearing the arrival of the third and final panel, Leonardo Dicaprio hit a flood, suffering from hellish punishment of all wrongdoing humanity. However, it is time to change it, and every small step matters, because we are still, ‘Human race before the flood’.
