Al Gore and director Davis Guggenheim hope that their film, An Inconvenient Truth, will focus Americas attention on the science and impacts of global warming. By Phil Rou (www.aarp.org....ebar1.html)
The filmmakers hired veteran director Davis Guggenheim to take Gore s slide show from the lecture hall to the big screen.

Many critics noted that Gore displays an energy and compassion in the film that rarely emerged during the 2000 campaign (www.washingtonpost.com....02295.html)
There is no judgment of Davis Guggenheim possible here. He's basically a TV director and this film feels like it was pretty much assembled, not directed. But that is the nature of the thing . It is a slideshow writ large (www.thehotbutton.com....4_wed.html)
One particularly notable American featured in an Oscar-nominated film is former vice president Al Gore , the star of the global warming documentary An Inconvenient Truth. Gore, however, isn't a nominee himself; that honor went to the director, Davis Guggenheim (www.cnn.com.....advancer/)
At one of those presentations, Hollywood producer Laurie David was in the audience. Galvanized, she recruited a team of producers, filmmakers, and philanthropists, and together they persuaded Gore to star in a documentary based on his climate slideshow.

As someone who has come to the view that greenhouse-effect science is now persuasive , I'm glad Gore made a movie that will help average voters understand the subject. An Inconvenient Truth is worthy in content, admirable in intent, and motivated by the sense of civic responsibility Hollywood on the whole has abandoned. About two-thirds is a quasi-documentary of Gore presenting to an audience the greenhouse slide show he's been giving for nearly 20 years. (I attended an early effort, in the late 1980s.) Mostly we see Gore talking and pointing at charts, interspersed with detours into the former vice president's political career: the Florida recount, Gore's stump-speech telling of his son's auto accident and his sister's tragic death from lung cancer. The political sequences have all the heft of a video press release: Time and again we are shown crowds looking adoringly at Gore, or cheering him on. And Katherine Harris may be a natural disaster , but what's she doing in a movie about climate change? If director Davis Guggenheim wanted to film a biography of Gore, he should simply have done s (www.slate.com/id/2142319/)
NBC's Chris Donovan notes that if "An Inconvenient Truth" is nominated this morning for an Oscar for best documentary feature, chances are good that its star, former Vice President Al Gore , will be walking down the red carpet come February. But before he starts getting billed as an Academy Award nominee, it's important to note that he probably won't have to worry about writing an acceptance speech. The Academy confirms that if the film is nominated, Davis Guggenheim , the film's director and executive producer, will be the sole nominee and the only person eligible to win an Oscar statuette, something all the parties involved sign off on when the forms are submitted (firstread.msnbc.msn.com....07/01.aspx)
Former Vice President Al Gore might be walking the red carpet come Oscar night on Sunday, but if "An Inconvenient Truth" wins the Oscar for best Documentary Feature, Gore won't be taking home an Oscar statuette. The Academy told NBC News recently that Davis Guggenheim , the film's director/executive producer, is the only person eligible to win an Oscar, something all the parties involved sign off on when the forms are submitted. So let's hope Gore doesn't want it as much as President Bill Clinton pretended he did in 2000 in that video spoof he made for the White House Correspondents' Dinner, in which he was holding an Oscar and giving an acceptance speech to the mirror before Kevin Spacey came in and took his award back.

Davis Guggenheim is a director and producer of both documentary and dramatic film and television. In 1999, he undertook an ambitious project documenting the challenging first year of several novice public school teachers. Two films resulted from this intensive immersion in the Los Angeles public school system: The First Year and Teach . Both films sought to address the tremendous need for qualified teachers in California and nationwide and to create awareness of the crisis 52; as well as to inspire a new generation to become teachers (creativecommons....ut/people/)
This is not a boring film. The director, Davis Guggenheim , uses words, images and Gore's concise litany of facts to build a film that is fascinating and relentless. In 39 years, I have never written these words in a movie review, but here they are: You owe it to yourself to see this film. If you do not, and you have grandchildren, you should explain to them why you decided not t (www.socialmedia.biz/film/)
Ohmigosh, he didn't appear stiff. Well, maybe a little. When the man responsible for making the film, Davis Guggenheim , put his arm around Gore and told the crowd "we were moved to action by this man," Gore said it was time to do something about global warming, that it was no longer a partisan issue.

Following his appearance on the recent Oscarcast, Al Gore — who accepted the Academy Award for the eco-documentary "An Inconvenient Truth" (though the actual award went to the film's director, Davis Guggenheim , son of acclaimed documentary-maker Charles Guggenheim — moves on to collecting TV honors as the latest recipient of the Founders Award from the International Emmys. The awards are scheduled for November 19 in Gotham with an accompanying festival showcasing nominees culled from networks worldwid (goldderby.latimes.com....y/2007/03/)

My friend Micki Krimmel filled me in the other day about "An Inconvenient Truth," the film (due out May 26 from Paramount) about global warming that's based in part on a scary but true presentation Al Gore has been giving audiences in recent months. It's directed by Davis Guggenheim , whom I had the pleasure of interviewing two months ago about his documentary "Teach." (www.socialmedia.biz/2006/04/)
"An Inconvenient Truth" is a cinematic version of the lecture that Gore has given for years warning of the dangers of global warming. Davis Guggenheim , the director, opened it up a bit. For instance, he added some shots of Gore mulling the fate of the Earth as he is driven here or there in some city, sometimes talking about personal matters such as the death of his beloved older sister from lung cancer and the close call his son had after being hit by a car. These are all traumas that Gore had mentioned in his presidential campaign and that seemed cloying at the time. Here they seem appropriate. (www.socialmedia.biz/2006/04/)
After packing 'em in in a handful of theaters last weekend, the Al Gore global-warming documentary An Inconvenient Truth spreads out into many other major markets today and is being welcomed with some loud applause from critics who wear their liberal credentials on their sleeves. One of them is Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times , who bestows four stars on the movie. He writes: "When I said I was going to a press screening of An Inconvenient Truth , a friend said, ' Al Gore talking about the environment! Bor.ing!' This is not a boring film. The director, Davis Guggenheim , uses words, images and Gore's concise litany of facts to build a film that is fascinating and relentless. In 39 years, I have never written these words in a movie review, but here they are: You owe it to yourself to see this film. If you do not, and you have grandchildren, you should explain to them why you decided not to." At the opposite extreme , Kyle Smith writes in the New York Post , "[Gore] and his friends were in charge for eight years (us.imdb.com....01170/news)
In 1999, director Davis Guggenheim and producer Julia Schachter undertook an ambitious project 52; to document the experiences of teachers in the Los Angeles Unified School District. In examining the trials and rewards that come with educating our children, the filmmakers created two powerful documentaries: the Peabody Award-winning The First Year and Teach, a short film created to attract talented and passionate people to the teaching profession (joi.ito.com/archives/2006/02/)
When Andrew announced he wanted to make a film honoring his brother , the family sport and his sister's trailblazing efforts, his family rallied around him to help get the production off the ground. Elisabeth joined him as co-producer and co-star of the film. Her husband, Davis Guggenheim , a seasoned film and television director (and an Academy Award winner for An Inconvenient Truth ), agreed to direct the movie. Brother John helped create the business model behind the movie (entertainment.howstuffworks.com....works1.htm)

Before seeing An Inconvenient Truth (2006), I had not given much thought to global warming, and I certainly had no expectation that any politician could bring the topic alive for me. But I was stunned by Davis Guggenheim 's film, a compelling version of Al Gore 's presentation on the topic. The movie is intellectually and emotionally engaging, and it merits watching whether you agree with Gore or not. The DVD would be worth buying for the feature film alone, but it comes with worthwhile extras, including Gore's half-hour update on the information given in the film and a good director's audio commentary (homevideo.about.com....06Da_2.htm)
Former Vice President Al Gore certainly falls into the wordsmith category. His live presentation about climate change - honed by years of being trotted out in front of college students, think tanks, and civic groups - became a critically acclaimed documentary in 2006 under the tutelage of director Davis Guggenheim . Now An Inconvenient Truth is up for an Oscar (lighterfootstep.com....es/83.html)
