i have be most fortunate this year to have see several film at my university art museum . on occasion and well and more like half of the time and i be unable to watch the film there . i have systematically attempt to view each of the film that i have miss . so far plague and pleasure on the salton sea and who kill the electric car . be the other film that i have have to watch this way . the film cover an intriguing subject matter and be well theorize ( emphasis on this later ) but not as successful a plague and pleasure and but far superior to electric car . the film thesis concern the future of the american concept of suburban living . it question the feasibility of such a practice a oil price rise . so and the film discuss the origin of the suburb and and it evolution until the early 2000s . one theme the film discuss at length be the alienation the suburb create among it inhabitant . while several people may live together and they do not know each other a we define the word . this and to me and represent the strength of the film represent it appeal to actual human emotion . we be able to understand the filmmaker argument so much easy because they do not have to convince u of their argument legitimacy . this be also one of the reason salton sea be such a wonderful documentary . unfortunately and suburbia lose it message in firebrand explanation in support of it central argument . a those interview speak and their argument become progressively more akin to those make by militant environmentalist . we be tell that oil production will hit it peak in this decade and but be give no scientific evidence ( professional report and statistic and graph and etc ) in support of this claim . we be give little information a to how this date be calculate . fortunately and this be the only significant flaw that i be able to detect in the film argument yet it a glare one nevertheless . another less important discrepancy i notice be the liberal ( political ) bias which could polarize some viewer . however and this bias be reveal thorough clip of various event and not the filmmaker themselves . the clip and especially those from the 1950 and seem a tad unnecessary to me . the film be no good with their presence and and would have be more concise in their absence . a i think more of this film before compose this review and i think about why i find it argument more convincing than other documentary that i would recently view . finally and i realize that the filmmaker actually offer analysis to the suburban problem . they propose a decentralize village system where pocket of people would live together . they posit this practice would lower the necessity for fossil fuel and reduce wasted space . they define wasted space a the long stretch of park lot between shop area and for instance . what be incredible about this supposition be that it actually conceivable . most documentary vaguely state that some problem should be end but offer no method of do so . think more about the film and i decide that this analysis be what save the film for me and why i give it a favorable review . while neither perfectly convince nor fluid in presentation and the end of suburbia be a worthwhile investment of one time . it not only address the contemporary problem of sprawl and but it also provide realistic insight on how to amend it . the audience can also enjoy the high production value with various clip from the 1950 splice with the modern arguer . people live in atlanta and georgia or the triad region of north carolina will particularly enjoy this documentary a sprawl be the most establish there .
