I
wanted to write my blog on the same thing I wrote my wiki page on this week,
reason being I wanted to talk more about a film rather than a reading to change
it up.
Odyssey2050 is a film that was initially released in 2012 with aims to help get the
youth involved with the ongoing change in our climate. The film was an advocate
on showing young people that unfortunately climate change isn’t necessarily
their fault, but it will encompass their life, so it is time to take action and
work towards helping ongoing activist. This film was made in Costa Rica, by
Daniel and Miguel Bermejo and directed by Bruce Callow. This film also tried to
promote many different ways for kids to get involved through workshops and the
internet to learn more about the climate that surrounds them.
The
movies itself is about a group of space travelers/aliens that come across Earth
in the year 2050 and are discussed by what has happen to the planet. They are surprised
that humans are completely aware of what they are doing to the planet, yet don’t
seem to care what the outcome is. The film used both animation and real life
pictures/film to show what is actually occurring on our planet. Some of the
topics that are brought up are greenhouse gases, how our atmosphere takes in
solar energy, glacial melting, and more. With the details and information that
is seen in the year 2050, the aliens decide to go back in time to warn humans
of the damage that they are doing and what their future will be like.
I
personally thought that making an animated film was a great way to help
interact with children and young adults to really show them what is necessary for
today and the future of our planet.
