After watching this movie, I think that it really was made more for the purpose of attempting to reduce pollution and to try to reduce the effects of global warming rather than the advancement of Al Gore's political career. However, I can at least see where those people are coming from, and I do agree that there was a bit of an attempt to do so. The movie takes long looks into his past, which tie into the main message by acting as motivational events for Gore, but said flashbacks tend to look like a lot like those political ads one would see on TV (the ones where a candidate talks about how they grew up, usually on a farm, or tragic events in their life, in an attempt to relate to the rest of the US).
On an almost unrelated side note, I've noticed that both Waiting for Superman and An Inconvenient Truth end with messages telling us to do something on a black screen. It must be a favorite style of Guggenheim's or something.
