I went to see the Simpsons Movie last night and I just had to write something on the MBC blog.
I'll not go too much into the story, I don't want to spoil it for anyone who is planning on going to see the film anytime soon. As with all movies, the themes usually touch on topics that are in the news and the Simpsons Movie is no exception...they look at environmental issues.
Near the beginning of the film, we are faced with a scene we all hate in the world of water conservation...citizens and businesses dumping sewage, bottles and other stuff into the local lake...arrrgghh! Something we are all familiar with.
Not long after, we see the citizens of Springfield cleaning up the lake, sorry for polluting it. Only one person spoils the clean up effort (mmm usually the case!) and the Environmental Protection Agency gets very very angry...D'oh!
I'll not tell you what the EPA do, but it is something you will only see in the Simpsons...though I did wonder for a while (well about a minute) whether it would work in real life...
I did notice that there was no sign of the infamous three eyed fish in Springfield's lake, it must have been too polluted!
