The movie The 11th Hour is a chilling documentary about the extreme climate changes of the environment and its causes and effects. Not only does this movie feature people we have read such as Heinberg and brilliant thinkers such as Steven Hawking, it also shares the ideas of some of the people who wrote the texts we have been reading.

As the movie began, one of the scientists said that the Earth is behaving like an infected organism as Lovelock said in the first chapter of his book, The Revenge of Gaia. Not only did Lovelock point out how the harmful gasses are influencing the Earth as the scientists did in the movie, he also brought in the age of the earth and how important that has to do with the way it is reacting now. The scientists and speakers in the movie pay a lot of attention on the age of humans compared to the age of the earth. They stressed how amazing it was that we single handedly, as a race, irreversibly destroyed the planet.

Another term that came up in the movie that can be connected to something we have encountered before was "thinking disorders". According to one of the scientists, humans have an illusion that they are apart from nature and are suffering from a thinking disorder. This is similar to what Kuntler said the day he gave a presentation at the Skidmore college about the American impediments to thinking. He said that Americans suffer from thinking impediments that make them act a certain way without concern. This is similar to what the scientists in the movie were saying about how humans in general think. We think we are apart from the Earth and because of that, we do not realize how we harm the Earth with our actions.

The movie did not show me anything I did not know but at the same time it changed my way of seeing the world. I do not know what to do anymore. I feel like the world is coming to an end and I would have lived a life without even making a dent of change in it. Someone once told me life is about leaving the world a better place than it was when you found it and my greatest fear is that I will be forced to live in a world that I can't even change.
