The movie prophet of doom is a commentary broadcasted on the history channel in Jan 2011. It is brought about in a unique style and conclusive presentation though the end leaves the reader to choose on the plan of action. In this movie, the writer portrays a scene pitting great leaders of the nation sitting in a cement warehouse discussing key issues that each think is the most urgent and must be dealt with immediate effects. The scene shifts from one speaker to another after every twenty minutes. Each speaker, rattles the viewers with emotional information about impending disaster that must be dealt with.
As the scenes unfold, it is imperative that each leader has a point but priority is the key issue here. Commenting on the same movie, the administrator of the world of film crafts explains his agreement with these leaders since what they are presenting is a true reflection of what is on the ground. The movie brings to the viewers the key areas of concerns including; water crisis, overpopulation, oil crisis, terrorism, finance/economy, nuclear threat, and artificial intelligence among many. From their point of views, these leaders prophesy that all this areas of concern are on the path certain end they term apocalyptic. In fact, their views are in congruent with those portrayed in the bible that the world will come to a sudden end one day. These, if viewed in some dimension, sounds true. For instance since the discovery of the fossil fuel, we have been on the quest to amass it for purpose of inevitable utility. But this has been an annihilation of our planet since for certain, one day the fossils will come to an abrupt end; will that not be the doomsday?
After several scenes of deliberations, the leaders agree on water as the key issue. They predict doom to befall the nation in this area. They assert that a way of monitoring and creation of more water reserves has to be invented. The leaders claim that water is prone to infiltrations of lethal substances such as caffeine which in the recent past has been showing exponential increase in sea animals. The substance is harmful to these creatures and will one day be wiped out. Further more, an enemy will one day place some lethal poison in all water resources, unnoticeably, the whole nation will drink the poison and then get wiped out; this will be the dooms day, the day could be today, tomorrow of a hundred years from now but for sure it will come at an unexpected time.
The scene advances to the second most considered threat which in this case is oil. According to these leaders, the demand for fuel related products has been sky-rocketing. This has been attributed to increase in population consequently increase in demand; the tractors for tilling land for food, cars among many. The demand for oil is inevitable where us the resource is non renewable. One day it will come to an end. The day may not be known but for sure it will come; will this not be the doomsday?
In this movie, the writer is trying to bring out a sensitive issue to the viewer. He is underlying the bottom-line of these doomsday prophecies by jerking the viewer into the reality of its happenings. According to him, no one pays attention to these events until they happen at the individual level. This, is also as in the case of the biblical doomsday which though prophesized animatedly, have been given little attention. According to the writer, technology and depletion are in battle and one day (not known), depletion will win and that will be the doomsday. The writer stresses further that our lifestyle is going to change one day. According to him, we won’t be able to eat and brink whatever we want anymore, we may not have the money we have now or still the money won’t be of help to us then. The concluding emphasis is that we have to find a suitable way of preparing for these unexpected misfortunes that will befall all of us.
In wrapping up, it is apparent that every one is at a potential risk of unnatural happening, it does not matter the status or nation or language or race. We can choose to ignore it as a mere hearse but its happening is certain and imminent. This movie calls for one to be on the alert and devise ways of survival in the event of the occurrence of the dooms day. This thesis has critically looked into the review of the movie prophets of doom by discussing its presentations, its views, implications to the present world and its connections with major events. It is a must watch for all human beings since it calls for alertness to the impending dangers.
