An Inconvenient Hero on a Wire

Write a 250 word response to one of these films: Hero, An Inconvenient Truth, Man on Wire. While you  may write about one of the following questions below, I'm really more interested in what you found in the films that was worthwhile instead of rehashing ideas we've already discussed.

1. What is a hero? Does a hero always do things that are heroic?

2. How do the filmmakers of An Inconvenient Truth try to get the audience to trust Al Gore and to want to listen to his message?

3. Where does Phillipe (the man on wire) fall in the Borden/Angier obsession debate?

Again, use those prompts if you're stuck for something to say, but I'm really just more interested in what you got out of the films than what I'm asking you to get out of them. If you got nothing, explore why that was.

Night of the Living Dead
