I haven't read any North Korean movie reviews. But I would guess that this is what they all sound like.
Al Gore keeps finding new ways to cash in on the Big Green Ecoscam. This one is kind of old though. He's got An Inconvenient Sequel to that movie where he played an environmentalist preacher using PowerPoint to warn progressives that the sky would fall unless they recycled more. This time around he takes a page from Michael Moore and actually visits places and makes vaguely wordlike sounds in their direction.
This review is from Mashable, which is exactly the sort of site you expect to praise anything Gore does. But there's praise and there's North Korean propaganda. You can tell that a movie review hits the dividing line when it insists on claiming that Gore is James Bond.
He's a climate change James Bond, using his wits and gadgets and sheer will to save the day at every turn.
By "save the day", he means make hundreds of millions of dollars.
Sequel plays more like a taut political thriller with an apocalyptic streak, interlacing heart-stopping cinematography, adrenalized music cues and a dashing main character — Al Gore 3.0 — that you'll wish had been president for oh, about eight years or so.
Forget James Bond. Gore is better than Obama. He's better than everything.
With uncharacteristic fire and brimstone — but also steely resolve and a concrete plan — the former vice president opened the Sundance Film Festival on Thursday night with An Inconvenient Sequel, a daring, urgent and exhilarating follow-up to his 2007 film An Inconvenient Truth.
Gore's got
1. Fire
2. Brimstone
3. Steely resolve
4. Concrete plan
You would assume that this is a press release, but I can't see even Gore signing off on anything this shamelessly fawning.
but at this point in his third act as a climate-change superhero, he's also jet-setting around the world, observing atrocious evidence that the planet has long since teetered toward catastrophe.
Superheroes don't jet around the world. That's what rich hypocrites who claim that jet travel is destroying the planet do for their propaganda pieces.
The former VP is a central figure in each of these scenes, tirelessly flying around in helicopters, boats, planes, cars (in one case ditching traffic for a subway to make a meeting on time) because this is what he does now.
Finally. The best North Korean propaganda is being made in America.
