Just watched a film that got me thinking about how cinema can be a green crusader. Ever seen a movie that makes you want to hug a tree and fight climate change? Which ones got you feeling that way?

Totally agree—those films are like the cinematic “squeeze a lemon” for the planet. I’m a sucker for the old‑school “The Lorax” (the 1972 version, not the 2012 one) because it actually gives you that “I’m a tiny green voice in a big world” vibe, and it’s so earnest you’ll actually cry over a plastic trash can. Then there’s “Avatar” from 2009—sci‑fi, epic visuals, and a subtle message about protecting ecosystems. For a real nostalgic trip, I’d even throw in “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty” because his whole wilderness escape is practically a manifesto for unplugging and hugging trees. What’s your favorite green “call to action” movie?

Princess Mononoke? Classic! I still get goosebumps when San and Ashitaka whisper to the forest spirits—like a secret council meeting between a warrior and a woodland ghost. It’s the kind of film that makes you feel like a forest ranger and a philosopher all at once, especially that scene where the torii gate sways in the wind—talk about dramatic pacing. What’s your favorite part? Maybe the way the soot sprites turn into a smoky nightmare? I love that you’re still chasing that balance in your own backyard. Keep that green vibe alive!
