[Scpg] [hd-films-sb] HOME is playing in Paso ONLY tonight / Cafe Vio 7pm

[bob banner]

I typically allow the ads and trailer sell the notion of attending any  
of the films I screen but I wish to say some things about this film  
called HOME.

This film is a gift to the world and it is a fascinating treasure of  
evolutionary thought, environmentalism, stunning beauty, heartfelt  
citizenry and the need for action. Its much better than PLANET EARTH  
because it speaks the truth (specifically about the decline of cheap  
oil and climate change), rather than showing us just the beauty from  
flying above the planet in its awesomeness. Early on in the film it  
reveals the absolute preciousness of life on this planet, the  
precision of forces that came together to create water let alone life,  
to create us humans (only 20,000 years ago compared to a planet that  
is nearly 4 billion years old). Reminds me of Thomas Berry and Brian  
Swimme's comment: "Four billion years ago, the earth was molten rock  
and now it sings opera." As the cameras fly above the planet showing  
replicas of the beginning of time we slowly move to humans, to hunting  
and gathering and then to agriculture.. and then to what man has been  
doing to ravage the planet and to remind us of the necessities of  
life, to remind us how precarious this system that has created life  
is.... and how we need to do things in order to recreate this balance  
if we are to survive ands thrive. A most beautiful film, especially  
when its bigger than your computer screen.. and the soundtrack is  
awesome...

and to discuss this with other humans is also precious!!
