UNLIKE many recent political documentaries, “An Inconvenient Truth” does not aim its fiercest fire at George Bush. Surprising this, especially as the film stars Al Gore, the man whom President Bush narrowly beat to the White House in 2000. Instead, Davis Guggenheim, the film's director, tries to rise above American politics, addressing his film, which is to be shown at the Cannes film festival later this month, to the whole of the human race.

　　《难以忽视的真相》并不像许多政治题材的纪录片那样，将最猛烈的炮火对准乔治•布什。尤为令人感到意外的是，这部电影的领衔主演竟然是曾在2000年惜败于布什总统的阿尔•戈尔。导演戴维斯•古根汉姆力图超越美国政治，将这部即将于本月下旬在戛纳电影节上映的影片视角定位到整个人类。
