The various emotions in the disaster film

Computer special effects give a lot of room for the development of disaster films. Besides, the development of human beings is so riddled with holes, and you can make a big fuss if you pick any one out. The background of this film is the greenhouse effect-the Kyoto Protocol; it does not describe the coordinated operations of several continents like Independence Day, but focuses on the United States from a perspective. The director beautifully denounces this economic monster that consumes huge amounts of greenhouse gases. The movie came out in 2004, and in my memory, the box office was very good. Many people were frightened once and took an environmental protection class. The following year, in 2005, Katrina logged in from the Gulf of Mexico to subvert New Orleans. I think those are scars that everyone does not want to recall.
I just swept the news. From the National Hurricane Center, today’s updated tropical storm Hanna (how small...) and Hurricane Gustav—the Gulf of Mexico and New Orleans—have evacuated 20 million people. Revisiting this film today and seeing the hurricane scene I feel extremely cold.
Of course, disaster films are not popular science nor do they assume the role of awakening the consciousness of the people and even the government. Just find a background that can be said and import a story, special effects + a few highlights, and you're done. I don’t know if it is to balance the emotional needs of the audience. Disaster films (in fact, as long as they are blockbuster films) are indispensable to Acura's humanity care (how narcissistic we are~~*A*). All kinds of emotions. Whether it is family affection, love, comradeship, class affection, the feelings of medical staff and patients, eh. The military and civilian fish and water love~~ In fact, the thing I can't stand the most is that I don't know why the love between Sam and the girl student is added here. This bridge is not very compact. If it is not used to bluntly explain the background of the story and link the development of the story, I can hardly imagine the reason for existence.
The true love in the world is of course beautiful. But it's a bit too much to be involved in love. When the disaster is approaching, we will come up with either the purest human nature or the true heroism: why bother to deliberately exaggerate?

    Although criticized as simple plot, the visual impact is really great. There are many classic shots: the national flag freezes and New York freezes, which is quite shocking~~

    A classic disaster film, a classic that can't catch up even if you take off your shoes.

The Day After Tomorrow quotes

  • Vice President Becker: For days, we've despaired about the fate of the people who are trapped in the North. Today, there is cause for hope. Only a few hours ago, I received word that a small group of people survived in New York City against all odds and in the face of tremendous adversity. I've ordered an immediate search-and-rescue mission to bring them home and to look for more survivors.

    [helicopters fly over New York and pick up survivors on the top of the buildings]

  • NY Businessman on Bus: [making his way through gridlock with two of his colleagues] Excuse me. My bad.

    Second Businessman: Goddamn! $1,500 waterproof bracelet!

    NY Businessman on Bus: Please, shut up man!

    Second Businessman: God, there must be rats everywhere!

    NY Businessman on Bus: That's 'cause it's New York!

    [They reach an MTA New York City Transit bus and the first businessman starts banging on the door]

    NY Businessman on Bus: Hey! Hey! Hey!

    New York Bus Driver: It's out of service. It's out of service!

    NY Businessman on Bus: No, no. I'll give you $100 to put it in service.

    New York Bus Driver: You don't have to do that.

    NY Businessman on Bus: No, no. Really, $200.

    [he gets inside the bus and hands the driver $200]

    NY Businessman on Bus: I won't have it. I won't have it. Oh, God. I love buses. This is just so much fun.
