Humans never bow their heads in the face of natural disasters

The ancestor of the severe cold weather disaster film, the plot is very complete. The first half introduces the discoveries of scientists, their dealings with the government, and the impact of this natural disaster on people (hurricane, tsunami, extreme cold). In the second half, the stories are mainly centered on portraying human nature. Let me first talk about the things that this movie wants to complain about (so as not to affect the atmosphere at the end). The first is that the US government is self-righteous and inefficient. This is also the consistent style of the US government. The second is to complain about all mankind... not caring for the natural environment, it is the cause of this catastrophe that is justified. There are two main lines in the first half, which are divided into the line of meteorologist Jack’s scientific work and the line of Jack’s son and his quiz teammates in Manhattan. The secondary lines are as follows: 1. Jack's wife has been guarding the bald boy. 2. The Ph.D. and Ph.D team of Antarctica that Jack met in his speech. (But this line disappeared at the end, and their survival is unknown) 3. The US government went from standing still to believing in Jack's decision to mobilize the entire American people to move south. In the second half, the two main lines are combined into one (Jack's Search for a Child). On the one hand, it describes the hardships of the Jack trio on the way to New York, and on the other hand, it describes how Jack’s son and the group persisted in the library Waiting (also cultivated a wave of feelings with the heroine). The survivors overcame the crisis and the southward move was completed. At the same time, the people in the north who insisted on waiting for rescue also got their wish and waited for the rescue by helicopter. Finally, the whole movie ends with the most beautiful earth. I believe many people can feel that this is not only a disaster film, but also a film discussing human nature. In this disaster, the father fulfilled his promise to the child, Jack's son gave his true love to the accompanying hostess, the government admitted the mistakes and made changes, Jack's wife stood by the bald boy's side until the rescue team arrived , Human beings have achieved unprecedented unity... (Although Mexico accepted their southward migration under the conditions of the US government’s promise...) Whether it is a homeless man and a dog, or a Nietzsche book, they are arguing endlessly and finally to each other The strange men and women who smiled slightly, or the scientific team at the Antarctic base toasting to mankind, these are the most ordinary people. They are the survivors of this disaster. They all feel the care from everyone after the disaster, regardless of whether it is. After the disaster, everyone will only become more united, and different groups of people will only go on more firmly in the face of the community of human destiny... Although the disaster will kill some people, it will never erase the continued survival of all mankind. From the satellites overlooking the ground, the beauty after the storm is not only the blue and white planet after the rebirth of snow and ice, but also the heart of human beings who are united in the face of disaster and march forward bravely!
