I just now watched this documentary movie “HOME”
by Director Yann
Arthus-Bertrand (a french photographer and world renowned environmentalist). The
full movie is available in HD
Quality free in Youtube from yesterday till 14th June 2009. Don’t miss this opportunity
to watch this must see movie.
I came to my office on a Saturday today so I can watch the movie in High Definition
(HD) with the high-bandwidth that is available in the office – the privileges of being
the CEO :-). The quality was amazing, unbelievable it was playing over the Internet.
Like I mentioned last year when I watched “Casino
Royale (1967)” in HD from Hulu.com, the availability of these high quality content
over the Internet is now becoming more and more wide stream than ever. These compel
me to predict that in next 10 years we will see the end of distribution of entertainment
content (movies and songs) in any physical form – it will happen much faster than
the best of Internet evangelists have dreamed of and it will happen even in developing
countries like India at nearly the same pace.
Coming back to the movie “HOME”, the documentary chronicles how life on earth came
into existence 4 Billions years back, how we humans came into existence 200,000 years
back and how we started farming 10,000 years back. This background helps you to understand
and appreciate the destruction we are making on our planet, after the discovery of
OIL and our dependence on it. The movie emphasizes the fact of how all organisms and
the Earth are linked in a "delicate but crucial" balance with each other,
and how no organism can be self-sufficient. I really liked the fact, the movie didn’t
end with a pessimistic note of all being lost on climate change, but on a positive
note that worldwide change is happening (though in pockets) and we can reverse the
trends.
