the most fascinating aspect to a crude awakening be that the film be make not by some left wing conspiracy theorist with tie to greenpeace or the world wildlife fund and but by two swiss director and one ( gelpke ) with a background in anthropology and economics and war reporting and and science film and and the other ( mccormack ) who hold an honor degree in environmental policy and management . these two men know how to make a documentary that look at both side of our oil need and industry while not knock our addictive behavior towards gasoline . it do lack a few aspect in the end and but hold your attention enough to make the whole watchable . the focus and a the title suggest and be on our crude oil dependency . we all know oil would not last forever and right . right . please tell me you know this . if not and you really need to watch this film . it look at the boom and bust methodology use in early crude oil find and how we naively think ( up until the 1970s ) that oil or gas would last forever . the story slash across socio economic ground and take in opinion from specialist in the field to senator and economist . all of them and without exception and realize that oil isn not go to last much long . the need to find alternative fuel that be ( and here the key ) affordable be on . the great thing be that these men and woman talk about how vital oil and natural gas be to our financial existence and simply because it be so cheap . you just can not find energy this affordable . fuel cell technology and hydrogen fuel and solar and and many other alternative be discuss but be exceptionally expensive to produce and market to the general population . no doubt we have a lot of worry come our way a carbon base fuel become more and more scarce . the only lacking aspect in this documentary be that there very little time give over to these alternative energy method and and no expert on say same . all of the information come from expert in the gas industry or those who monitor it . to truly round out the program i would have like to have see specialist in alternative car manufacturing and other item that be undoubtedly head our way . still and this be an insightful documentary to get your hand on . and one to show your kid to get them on the ball about what they can do to help decrease our oil addiction .
