Abstract

The thesis analyses three Hollywood movies: An Inconvenient Truth (2006), Wall-E (2008) and Avatar (2009) and how they differently present the theme of ecology. Even though directors may not have the ecological theme in mind, the thesis highlights the ability of each movie to raise awareness for a huge number of audiences on environmentalism. The analysis includes explorations of politics, comedy, and fantasy as crucial factors for the reception of the ecological message. Despite the different interpretations that a movie can elicit, by presenting such a complicated theme, the thesis concentrates on the power of image that a film could provide, especially thanks to the potential of a Hollywood production company.
