Ignorant Movie Review:  who killed the electric car?

Response to title:  ...this sounds like my kind've documentary...

Response to curbside poster:  Damn!  I forgot to look before I came in!

Pre-review blurb:  Before I give my actual review, here's my take on documentaries:  I believe they are a form of film making which attempts to create a narrative out of facts and personal anecdotes.  I will review documentaries based on how well I think the narrative is achieved.  Unless I feel it absolutely necessary to explain myself or show a falsification of information I will not include facts from a documentary in its review.

Response post-credits:  My very first reaction to this movie came before ever entering the theater.  Aside from walking past The Capitol Theater when the SuicideGirls came to town, I had never seen a line formed to get in.  That in Olympia an environmentally minded documentary could kindle similar levels of interest as altporn gave me something to smile about before I could even get inside.  The movie itself is an extremely professional documentary that effectively puts forth a case that short term profiteering is stomping out longterm health, national security and American business interests.  On a particularly emotional level I couldn't help but superimpose the Capitol Mall sculpture installation by the local Rachel Corrie chapter of Veterans for Peace on the facts of this movie.  This movie certainly makes silent assent to the actions of our government harder to swallow.  I recommend this movie to anyone who plans to stick it out on American soil and not expatriate.
