The kindly African American uncle in the movie is not very like a president, but very much like a priest. And his greatest function is to stay with the millions of people in the homeland that is about to be swallowed (except for him, only the Holy See and the Italian Prime Minister are left behind). I don’t think there is any need to be too critical of the United States’ attitude of salvation as always. At any rate, apart from the Americans, no one else has such an interest and appetite. The chubby White House consultant was the only "bad guy" in the film. Of course, it was not too bad. His order forbidding civilians to board the ship was eventually broken. At the end of the film, he was slightly embarrassed amidst the cheers of the people in the boat. Like a child who is alone in the kindergarten.



Disaster movies are beautiful. This kind of statement is very strange. As far as the creative theme is concerned, there is really not much to look forward to in disaster films, but the stunning beauty of the pictures is always the biggest selling point of this theme. When we witnessed the instantaneous eruption of the volcanoes in Yellowstone National Park through the screen, we may not be able to control the exclaim like the crazy secret radio DJ in the movie: "It's so beautiful! I can't bear to go!" As for how scared it is The effect may only vary from person to person according to different psychological endurance. Personally, I never believe that disaster films have any real teaching effect. And when I was sitting in the movie theater, spending dozens of dollars in fares, holding my hands tightly and swallowing these two and a half hours called disaster, it was a visual feast of happiness, and I couldn't help but think about it. : What is the difference between me and that lunatic?
