There are not many disaster films produced by WARNER BROS. Just looking at the posters has the same effect as "After Tomorrow", "Ghost Storm" or "Perfect Storm", a ship, a disaster, so you will naturally associate To a group of dead, a few survivors struggling to survive. Sure enough, from the first 100 minutes of walking into the cinema to the moment of stepping out of the cinema, what remains in my mind is like the impression in the poster. Or add a bit of unbearable mood. It's not that I'm numb, but this kind of movie is really shot in the form of adventure limited to the movie theater, leaving the movie theater without the aftertaste. The reason is: the plot is not well laid out, you don't know much about the protagonists, and they die in front of you in the form of martyrs one by one tragically. There are different ways of dying, except when you think of "poor", you have no nostalgia, no memories, and naturally, you don't have the same feeling. I don't know if the disaster scene has already exceeded the BUDGET abacus made by PRODUCER, so, let's just blur everyone's identities and save them?
In addition, you can see the identity of the protagonist deliberately arranged by the director, a single mother, a gay Abo, a failed mayor, and a professional gambler. Although there is no detailed identity introduction, it seems to be deliberately telling everyone that some people are excluded from society. stratum, obtain the opportunity of rebirth through their own efforts. And, it is possible. In the 72 version, such an arrangement is ingenious, and with a little introduction, it can resonate with some people at the bottom.
Compared with the old version, it is difficult and difficult to explain the credibility of the disaster in the age of underdeveloped technology. Therefore, if you do not scan with a modern eye, you will find that the plot and acting skills are still slightly better than the old ones. A reward, the new work's editing technology is commendable, the climax is wave after wave, and the waves that are surging and surging are "good", but there is no sense of suspense, because you know that at the last moment, they always escape. The most touching part is probably the part where the father bravely rescued his daughter later. Although it is an old-fashioned part, I, who is easily touched, is still a little jealous. When Father's Day is approaching, you should really watch this kind of drama, a stubborn father who always refuses to let his daughter be the father of this and that, but in the end sacrifices for his daughter, no matter how strong he is outside, in front of his family , or a loving father, a knight who can save his daughter bravely, be a superman, and be a frogman. A father who jumped into the water without asking a question may be the only character that was laid out in more detail, so he arranged to die in the end, and made the audience feel deeply for him.
I don't like the outside world comparing this drama to "TITANIC" No. 2, because there are basically two different SELL POINTs, one selling love and one selling refuge. Disaster films like to use a joyful atmosphere to set off a sense of sadness. The greater the joy, the greater the sadness. This is the only point in common between the two films (personally thinks it is), one is the calm band playing music at the moment of the sinking, optimistic and knowing. One is the wanderlust after the carnival, contradictory and fascinating. "HAPPY NEW YEAR", after such a sarcastic blessing, what we can manage, seems to be only the verbal pleasure, that fragile life, is it really so vulnerable? !
Haha, in general, the biggest feeling about this film is the title: such a disaster!
