Disaster and the fate of the characters are closely linked. "The Day After Tomorrow", "2012", "The City of Fire", "Godzilla", "Apollo 13", "Gravity" Disaster is the driving force behind the plot, and the characters' psychology and behavior are reflections of the disaster . "Titanic" and "Pompeii" are reversed, disaster is used to set off, the core is a love story.
So why is Titanic so much better? The foreshadowing is being done, Pompeii is not bad, the problem lies in the second half. In "Titanic", after the iceberg collided with the ship, the hero and heroine experienced the flooding of the cabin, the lifeboat, the pursuit, the sinking of the ship, the loss of the water, and a series of escape incidents that Jack let out of the life-saving door. It also escalates, and by the time Jack finally sinks into the sea, you too feel exhausted.
What about the second half of Pompeii? From the collapse of the arena, the male protagonist went to find the female protagonist, and the plot was lackluster. Rescuing the heroine in the mansion, looking for a horse in the arena, snatched away by the second male, chasing, chasing, fighting in the square, escaping on horseback, kissing on the grass, there is no one that makes you feel very exciting, emotions and emotions are not mentioned, so in the end When the two died together, everyone praised them, and felt that the director finally gave an explanation, unlike "Titanic", when Jack died, everyone felt sorry.
A love story did not make the audience fall in love with these two characters, it is reasonable to be sprayed.
Some of the auxiliary lines are not bad at first glance, that is, "freedom". The male protagonist's life experience is sufficient, so when he rode his horse and whipped the female protagonist up the mountain, he did feel a sense of comfort, and he hoped that he would never return. The black brothers waited for years to be free, and disappeared in the slave owner's sentence "Gladiators should die in the gladiatorial arena".
The visual effects and sound effects are good, but the lens gives a good monotonous, various bird's-eye views, as if looking at a map. Maybe it's because I have seen real pictures of various tsunamis on the Internet, and I think the special effects of the tsunami are very well done. It's a pity that no matter how good the special effects are, it can't support a movie.
