Disaster Movie Shackles and "Fear the Storm"

I have read a lot of disaster films, and the plots have been the same in recent years. The godfather-level director is Roland Emmerich, and "Independence Day" and "The Day After Tomorrow" are representative works. At first, I mistook the film "No Fear of the Storm" as another masterpiece by the godfather, but I later learned that it was directed by Steven Querrey. Yes, looking back on the disaster films of the past few years, the quality is really good. Hollywood has always attracted attention with large-scale special effects. The old-fashioned stories should be a common problem, or they have not been able to escape the limitations of script creation for many years. "Vertical Limit" and "Abyss of Death" are considered excellent works in disaster films. They impress viewers with the plot. The tight plot hooks the heart hanging in the air. The deep father-son relationship is also an old model, but this is admirable. , expressing the brilliance of human nature. In "Fear the Storm", there are also small characters like Pete in public. Most of these characters are in the middle and later parts of disaster films, such as the madman who rushed to the aliens to save the earth in "Independence Day". These ordinary people People do extraordinary things. Tornadoes changed from being single to diversification, to fire tornadoes, and finally to giant tornadoes. I suddenly had the urge to take a tripod to take pictures of tornadoes. When Pitt stuffed the hard drive into the heroine, he was accompanied by a heroic halo shrouded in music, and instantly people's previous disgust disappeared. It has to be said that we can't fully understand human nature. There are always some things that make us grow up in an instant.
The two extreme players objectively reflect a certain truth. 1. If you don't die, you will not die. 2. Stupid people have stupid blessings. God really favors optimistic people and pursues their own outlook on life. Use go-pro to record videos and Twitter updates. We are dying every day, and we are eager to die, and we are always looking for the feeling that the gate of hell is on the verge of death. I was thinking, if it were me, I would also shoot it. The picture of running in a tornado with a tripod on my back is so cool, I would like to get into the wind and look up at the eye of the wind.
Years ago, the first disaster film should have been Stallone's "One Hundred Thousand Fires". Firefighters save the exploding tunnel. The heroism and power rage make the audience's blood boil. Hollywood expects a happy ending. The screenwriter will sacrifice some people, but it will eventually awaken people's ideas. Positive energy, maybe not in reality, but this is a disaster movie, a Hollywood ending.
Returning to the movie, it is not as extremely depressing as "The Abyss", but it still makes the audience clench their fists when fighting the tornado.
Write a short review, the rhythm of the whole film is controlled in an orderly manner, the aircraft cup is rolled up, it is remarkable, the brilliance of human nature is a little lacking, maybe it is too much cut in the later period, I always feel that 100 minutes up and down did not explain anything and it ended, but On the whole, it has achieved the points that a disaster film should have. The plot is 7 points, the special effects are 8 points, and the overall score is 7.5 points.
