America - This is the place where tornadoes occur most frequently every year in the world. Regarding the movie "Fearless of the Storm", it can only be said that only a country with personal experience can present this natural disaster so vividly, but I have already seen it. Getting used to the end of the world like "The Day After Tomorrow", "2012", etc., I always feel that "Fearless of the Storm" has a little family spirit in its bones. It's hard to really feel anything from outside.


This is not the first time that Hollywood has brought the natural disaster of the tornado to the screen. The film "Tornado" shot in 1996 is still shocking to watch this film today. Different from the wind chasers who seek abuse, the movie arranges a new family branch, and the more realistic focus is to spread the story with the sudden tornado disaster in the small town. The outstanding light and shadow special effects make people feel the real storm, which is hard to see in reality. It is worth integrating the imitation DV lens of the movie home video. The use of pseudo-documentary techniques makes the movie even in some picture quality A little less coquettish, but it also brings a more outstanding sense of reality to the audience.



The innovative and novel shooting techniques in the special effects of "Fearless of the Storm" have created a very realistic and shocking tornado, but the lack of goodness in its plot can be said to be a particularly prominent failure. The method of pseudo-recording is a good card. However, the bloated and lengthy pavilion drama is quite criticized for the completion of the plot. It is different from the pure selling scene of "2012", where the proportion of plot gains and losses is negligible. For a single-point disaster movie that does not destroy the world, the plot can be said to be its fulcrum. How to focus and move people is the key to whether it can become a classic. "Tornado" in 1996 is the premise of powerful special effects and reliable plot. It won a relatively fair evaluation. The story structure of "Fear the Storm" is too formal. Several groups of characters are either gags or show American heroism, but no novelty is based on family and love, which is more due to its too steady director Steven · Querrey, who once directed "Death Comes 5" is also one of the most mediocre films in this series.



For "Fearless of the Storm", I prefer to use double-edged to describe it. The tornado that ravaged by the wind did not live up to the gimmicks of Hollywood disaster films, but the stories under the storm using pseudo-recording methods were not perfect. This is a double-edged sword. Blade style storm interpretation. (Reprint must indicate: the original author Mengli Poetry Book)

    No matter how strong the storm was, it didn't take away the boredom. "The effect is still good" may be the only rhetoric that can be brought to the table after the storm. The whole FLAG makes the plot so simple and rude that there is no suspense, and every overly forceful performance doesn't help deepen the emotional line. The hand-cranked lens with the clues of national photography does not feel like a documentary at all, but it does not hide the LOW energy of cost saving...

    The documentary effect of the created documentary is not bad, it is basically a licensed product in a disaster film, it is quite satisfactory, and there is no fault.
