Leonardo DiCaprio sees his new film about the environment as apolitical, though he's campaigned for Democratic presidential candidates in the past. He sees Al Gore as the father of a new and vast environmental movement that will sweep over the globe and occupy the ingenuity of his generation.

He sees the ice bergs that took down the Titanic in his career-defining role now as a metaphor for global warming, and man's inability to understand his subservience to the power of the earth's natural forces. For more of what the star thinks, read the following Copley News Service interview.
