from Leuven, Belgium (Permalink)True, but in the movie itself you won't notice it's sponsorship,
and I did my research, the PPR group is actually trying pretty hard to develop a sustainable economic structure...
panta rei kai ouden menei, change is always immanent
doesn't take away the damage done ofcourse... :)

from Biarritz, France (Permalink)Same discussion than when Nicolas Hulot (http://www.fondation-nicolas-hulot.org) tried to make actions using money of sponsors as TV channel.
So what??? why people always search something to criticize when someone try to move something...? the most important is that HE TRY TO MOVE SOMETHING! he try to change the way the people think about planet and ressources.
And what's the problem if for that he takes the money of too rich industries? "mmmh that's hell, i won't listen what he says"??
A bit easy to criticize like that... And thanks Pieter, this film should be seen by all ; )

from Leuven, Belgium (Permalink)I agree with you, yann Arthus bertrand is a great guy, and a true environmentalist, it is merely the contradiction, and in the beginning of the film the brand names come in quite visibly, that was my only point of critic,
on the other and most important hand, no one would have seen it for free or get such cheap dvd's of it :) without the ppr group
so that is really great
and for what i have read the PPR group is really trying to invest in a sustainable program for their company's, so that is good too :)

from Leuven, Belgium (Permalink)Je n'ose pas de dire que c'est un coflit d'interët, le PPR group n'a vraiment rien à dire dans le film, c'est justement le monnaie que'elle a donné, mais pas le droit de dire comment le film sera producé, le PPR group a rien a gagner, que de respet pur s'engager dans ce projet, mais elle ne va pas gagner plus en faisant :) elle fait donc les sacrifies pour le bien-etre de notre terre. n'est ce pas ?

from Leuven, Belgium (Permalink)parce que je pense que c"est un film, pas une documentaire médiocre, comme en a déja vu des dizaines.
Le sujet c'est vraiment la terre, sa beauté, mais aussi la mal, causé par homme, et Cette mal qui est clairment visible sur la terre.
Le film ne le regard pas d'une perspective humaine, mais al l'extérieur de notre société, voila aussi la signifacance du images aerienne, mais c'est mon opinion :)
merci pour la réference du livre, je vais le regarder

from Biarritz, France (Permalink)Hi Grampied, Peter,
Ok ok for the "saine méfiance" and all you talk in your messages but for me the main thing is that this kind of film will prehaps open the eyes of people who are not sensible about those problems.
And for the industries, i prefer to see them invest to support a "earth video" than spend their money to support stupid things as privatisations in poor countries (for exemple monsanto in India...)
Of course the way the product the goods and their "more profit science" are not representative with the message of the film but prehaps it's a good first step to change something in their future investments? (i hope, i know i know i'm a bit optimist, but i have a dream that one day... ; ))

from Biarritz, France (Permalink)Ah, i forgot a point about "pourquoi on ne parle pas du consumerisme,de reduir les consumes"
Yan Arthus Bertrand has made a dedicated video on this point called "6 milliards d'hommes a nourrir"
Unfortunately i've found just an extract here, but can be downloaded in otherways :

from Leuven, Belgium (Permalink)His project 6 billions others is indeed very intruiging, you can find all the interviewed people (new ones added every day) on his site,
and I approve your point, it is just that the movie has little to teach me, but indeed it will work for people who haven't watched the right direction yet :)
its like those darn washingpowder adds, you make one, people will buy the powder,
so for ervery movie, or anything made about climate change, more people will buy it .... or is this a bad methaphor :)
haha thanks for the interesting discussion anyway, both of ya

from Leuven, Belgium (Permalink)Some of my good friends watched it too, we all agreed that the images were stunning, but its information and its message were already clear to us a long time ago. As you did appearently and its a very good cause, this movie is ideal for educational purposes :)

from Buffalo, United States (Permalink)One thing I don't understand is the film maker do not allow people embedding his film on their sites (blogsites/profiles/etc) when he wants to save the world.
