DVD Reviews of National Geographic's Strange Days on Planet Earth
DVD Review: Hollywood stars can have a big impact in our lives!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have seen Edward Norton take on diverse roles in films - from a notorious racist that gets enlightened in "American history X" to a brilliant dual role in "Fight club". He is simply a fantastic actor. I watched "Strange Days on Planet Earth" narrated by him and I now realize that I have a special respect for this guy. This is not because he is versatile and gets into character in films (although he is!) but because he reveals in this documentary that Edward Norton in real life is the most humble man who can talk convincingly to people to change their lives for the benefit of mother nature.
What Edward does in this series is give us a glimpse into what scientists are finding out about the earth, what are the things that can potentially go wrong in our earth if humans act irrationally, what are the ways in which we can avoid these dangers etc. All of the segments are short, but they are all well connected. some of the answers that scientists find can be both surprising and thought-provoking. Examples: 1) The over-hunting of wolves in yellowstone led to the almost complete elimination of oak trees. why? because wolves prey on deer which inturn prey on young oak tree saplings. 2) The extinction of certain variety of toad is due to a chemical atracine in fertilizers. why? because atracine gets into water and even at the lowest concentration causes conversion of male into female frogs effectively reducing the male:female ratio to maintain population. These are only some of the very thought-provoking things that the series discusses. Infact, everything begins with a premis and through careful investigations by scientists, ends with solving the puzzle.
This one should be a must for anybody that wants to be cognizant of the fact that humans can have an adverse effect on the world around them if they are not being very careful. This series will also be thoroughly enjoyed by anybody that like Edward Norton! I highly commend his effort at promoting awareness among people about the only planet that we are ever going to live in.
