Nine Hours: um documentário que perde a coragem no fim (B2)

The documentary Nine Hours follows a single long-haul flight from the perspective of everyone except the passengers: the loaders, the cleaners, the fuel technicians, the woman who plans where each container sits so that the aircraft balances. It is a clever structure, and for forty minutes it is genuinely absorbing. The film then reaches for a bigger subject, climate, and loses its nerve. Two experts appear, disagree politely and vanish. What remains is a montage of clouds and a closing line about difficult choices, which is the documentary equivalent of a shrug. This is a pity, because the earlier material makes the point far better: watching thirty people work through the night so that one aircraft can leave on time tells you more about the true cost of cheap flying than any interview could.

Para o resenhista, o principal defeito do documentário está em

1. A A) concentrar-se exclusivamente na experiência vivida pelos passageiros do voo.
2. B B) abandonar a força das cenas de bastidores ao tratar a questão climática de modo vago.
3. C C) apresentar especialistas que discutem o tema do clima de maneira agressiva.
4. D D) dedicar tempo excessivo ao trabalho noturno realizado pela equipe de solo.
5. E E) encerrar o filme sem jamais mencionar o custo real das passagens baratas.
