Must See Movie...

best movie i've ever seen.

Awesome Movie

The acting in this movie is really good.

It's us. The people. Jobs. Security. Television. Private property. Yale. West Point. Wal Mart. CNN. A new truck. A roasted turkey. Everyone of the complaining parties in the land "Gasland" portraits seems to own a pickup truck. I saw only big trucks. New trucks. Bought with the money the gas and oil corporations paid them for their land to be fracked. Then the chemicals started leaking. Water ruined. The big wake-up. Too late. Money already pocketed, truck bought, TV bought, disclosure agreement signed. Too late.Truck drivers don't care. We don't care until our own water supply is being taken from us. I genuinely do appreciate this documentary. It does not only expose the irreparable damage caused by fracking, but it exposes (perhaps without being aware of it) how it is happening. What Homeland America made of? It shows who is fracking who. Corporations only pocked the profit. The 1% doesn't drive hundreds of thousands of trucks. The 1% doesn't drill and operate hundreds of thousands of wells. They pay off our government the same way they pay off us. Disclosure agreement signed.Vietnam veterans. Iraq veterans. Afghanistan veterans. War criminals in my eyes. Or perhaps 'only' the truck drivers of war criminals 'protecting' the Homeland by destroying other peoples home land continents away. Where is Iraq again? Afghanistan? Is there perhaps oil to be drilled or pipelines to be build in these far away foreign home lands? Let's get them some freedom. Let's get them some truckloads of freedom. Bombs first. Then American Sniper. Then American Halliburton. It's also red. Like Coca Cola. And blood. Blood and stripes.American war veterans are now being the victims of the corporations they helped so successfully to grow in power.America is fracking itself. Go and watch American Sniper. Support war. Don't care about Iraqi citizens. They are all terrorists. They are not citizens anymore. They don't have a country anymore. It has been fracked away from them. It's been drilled apart by Halliburton. You were driving the tanks and the trucks then. You are still driving the trucks now, in your backyard.How many wells across the US?How many truckloads needed for one well?How many truck drivers?Who cares about your water?There is no Corporate America. There is no Halliburton. There is only us working for them. To have a job. A new big Ford F250. A TV in the kitchen, to watch the 'news' while we roast our turkeys. Two cars. Three cars. Thank you very much.On another note, how many ethnic, African American, Native Indian, Asian American, Latino American land owners did we meet in this film? None. The only African American we encounter in this portrait of America are one child and one President. Also, once we ruined all our drinking water what do we think will happen next? The price for drinking water will sky rocket. And guess who will own the only clean drinking water wells then? I've got a good feeling about it. Thank you very much.

Fracking does seem to have a lot going against it, suspicious sounding energy firms with undisclosed toxic mixes pumped into the earth at rock busting pressures, landscapes littered with the mechanical detritus of the process, ugly scarred lands and scared people. Josh Fox certainly saw an issue that would would project his directing career far across this land and abroad causing the wringing of hands by many who take more than just a passing interest in the well being of our planet. People just like myself. And in the second film he of course steps up his attacks on the industry and his own critics. Except for one, or I should say two film makers Phelim McAleer and Ann McElhinney whom Josh seems to wish would be swallowed by the void. Their film FrackNation examines in detail the Gasland mythos and shows just how much Josh is willing to do to cover up his fictions whilst a gullible public far from the actual fray and enjoying the benefits of the fossil fuels they guzzle daily are taken in yet again by the distortion of fact and science. If nothing else just consider that if fracking were discontinued and everyone switched to solar panels where would all the rare earths come from needed for their manufacture? Have you ever seen the size of the open pit mines extracting these rare minerals or the paltry amount that is extracted from all the earth and rocks removed by juggernaut earthmoving machines? Not to mention the pollution caused by the processing. If you have watched the Gaslands movies you really owe it to yourself to also see Fracknation. Then you can decide for yourself. You'll see how false and evasive Josh is when confronted by the film makers who, being fair minded, wanted nothing more than to speak with Josh. You will see the family with the exploding faucets also revealed as simple minded hucksters so taken in by Josh and his crew they are prepared to lie to the EPA. I have given the film two stars because, in fairness it is a very well put together documentary but it is also an illustration of how easy it is to gain fame and attention if you are prepared to play to the publics worst fears.

Embarrassed that at 1 point I wanted to believe becuz the 1st was well told in the best manipulative & edited way possible. Go look at real facts & you'll laugh that you ever thought Fracking had anything to do w/anything. It's a completely made-up premise that has found hmmmm...how much real support since the 1st film came out? I'm sorry if I think energy independence & being able to drill sideways is backwards thinking of me. Josh Fox is a Fraud. He just wants to be star, doesn't matter how. How's his career went where since is Oscar Nom for the fiction "Gasland?" He had to make a 2nd? Really? Why? That's right you have to make up excuses about the things u said in the 1st film completely proved false.

When I saw Gasland for the first time last week, it's safe to say I was far past the state of shock, not because of what was happening because of hydraulic fracturing but just of what the actions taken by natural gas companies could mean for the general state of America. Has public opinion and the voice of the people become muffled to the point of unrecognizable murmurs? It's a scary reality we're a bit late on facing. The film was interesting, to say the least, but was bogged down by questionable stylistic choices, odd, cloying narration, and facts that would likely go over the viewer's head. Now we have Gasland: Part II, a film that goes a bit further by showing the political/global effects on hydraulic fracturing (also known as "fracking") and how affected townspeople have refused to sit idly by and watch their liberties and wellbeing be disregarded tastelessly. Filmmaker Josh Fox returns to tackle this subject again, not just showing that he has done his homework but also the optional extra credit. Through all his research, analysis, and thought, he has probably given this subject as much or more thought than a college kid currently studying a specific field. His dedication and enthusiasm for the subject is terrific. We open with shots of the oil-ridden Gulf of Mexico, reminding us that the summer of 2010 was hell for not just the Gulf but the residents of the bayou, who experienced hellish living conditions and grossly low profits thanks to oil contamination in their waters. We then learn that BP planes were instructed to hose down the Gulf in chemicals that were supposed to be reducing the impact of the oil. However, the chemicals were revealed that only smother the oil and force it lower to the depths of the waters; it was a blatant cover-up, not a solution.What follows is almost the same as the original Gasland film in terms of approach; it utilizes the method of reciting many facts and history-pieces, however, in a more concise and understandable way. At least for the first two halves because by the third half, everything has become a bit of a muchness and we're channeling the lines of "Gasland: Part III." The film is dedicated to three main pieces of the fracking case and uses them all to a solid effect. Its first is showing how constant drilling and methane contamination has left the small town of Dimock, Pennsylvania with an unreliable water supply, filled with unpronounceable chemicals. The second is showing how many townspeople have taken action and stood up for their rights as people of the United States. One man claims he used to be a Republican, but since unforgivable tactics have taken place in his hometown he has since become an independent. After all, private ownership is a direct principle to conservative ideology. The final point is to not belittle but show how even the so-called elite - white, male business owners who have done so much as erect an entire home off of money they've made themselves - aren't immune to the practice of fracking. Even they can be treated like second class citizens and weakened by the lack of regulation on the practice.Fox's sleepy narration is still in place, but he seems to have woken up a bit since the last film. Moreover, the amount of respect I have for the man himself has grown with this followup film. Fox is more than a talking head with a discernible opinion. It took me to the middle of this film to realize he has an incredible passion for one- man activism, and that his banjo-playing, artistic locational shooting, and quirky sendoffs are more driven to influence and showcase a personality rather than quasi-varietal nonsense. He is a strong man, brave and gutful in his actions of attacking an industry armed with everything in their power to silence the common men and whistleblowers like him. He even gets arrested for attempting to film a public meeting on the matter of natural gas extraction. Not many would've continued fighting a towering man in a cop outfit over something like that.Gasland: Part II is a notable increase in quality from the redundancy and complexities that were the preceding documentary. It is a lot more poetic and artful in its shots, as well as informing and thought-provoking in its arguments and justifications without the elements that seemed to alienate viewers of the previous film. It's safe to say Fox's impact on the hydraulic fracturing debate have been immense, but his environmentalist impact has begun to surface quite notably.NOTE: Gasland: Part II premiered on HBO at 8pm central time on Monday July 8, 2013 and will air throughout the months of July and August on the network.Starring: Josh Fox.
