Prince EA Video: “Sorry”
I believe that the second video, “Dear Future Generation, Sorry” was the most inspirational video out of the five to and for me. I loved how the background (a barren desert) complemented the overall message of the video. The overall purpose of the video was like a message from the people of the past saying sorry to the humans of the future for not protecting and ruining the Earth’s natural beauty and resources. At the very beginning, Prince EA mentioned the Amazon Forest. What is really sad is that it is now called the Amazon Desert. The Amazon Forest is being called the Amazon Desert currently because the half of the forest were destroyed by human acts. The past generations of the last hundred years were cutting the beautiful trees down. By doing that, it caused a lot of bad consequences such as the rapid decrease of certain animal populations. The disappearance of the wild plants and even animals made the land look dull, bland, unpleasant, and not presentable.
The main reason for the destruction and burning down of trees was and still is basically for the production of money. Our selfishness and own needs got in the way of our priorities on taking care of our dwellings on this planet. Right now, even the littlest efforts could do. Everyone now needs to take part in the efforts of saving the environment because if we don’t work together everything will stay the same. This is not just a common problem in the Amazon but a common conflict globally around the world. According to the video, it is impossible to reverse what has already happened but us the future can make the corrections from the mistakes and errors that were made by our fellow selves and people from the past. We don’t have to keep on saying sorry because we can make the changes that need to happen in order to keep our plant healthy and living for many more thousands or even millions of years. If this generation can turn the picture around into a better image, there will be a higher chance for the future of our homes and the place where we live to be brighter.
