The story of this film takes place in a small town, where people live their own peaceful lives, but under the calm there is a turbulent danger approaching people. There is a group of people called wind chasers. They are approaching the unknown tornado with extraordinary courage and advanced equipment. They want to record this spectacular natural scene at close range, so they always pay attention to the weather trends and tornadoes. where they are. When the tornado came quietly to the town, the chasers not only tried their best to photograph this rare super tornado, but on the other hand, the residents of the town were about to be hit by the tornado, and the residents needed their Help, they have advanced equipment to predict the dynamics of tornadoes, and the town's warning system is vulnerable. The most interesting thing is that as a father Gary (at the same time, he has a heavy responsibility and also serves as the vice principal of the middle school), when the tornado comes, he is eager to protect his children, that kind of bravery, and that kind of unafraid in the face of hurricanes. , Father's love is great and irreplaceable. A well-equipped expedition team has been chasing the trail of the tornado, wanting to photograph precious first-hand information, but it is always a little worse because the gods are not beautiful, and they happened to meet when they were about to give up. A giant tornado that has not been encountered in a hundred years (of course, it is not all accidental, after all, they are also relying on professional knowledge to pursue tornadoes, it can only be said that the hard work pays off), and on the way they met another group of people - a father brought As the younger son risked his life to save the older son, the expedition helped them, and together they saved more lives. I have to admire the invincible armored vehicle of the expedition team, especially cattle, can resist a certain degree of wind speed, making it closer to the tornado to take some precious pictures, the most important point is the strength... Haha, all kinds of steel armor and The bulletproof glass is like a small tank and plays a vital role in the film. It turns out that the destructive power of tornadoes is so amazing, not to mention giant tornadoes. Ordinary buildings can't withstand it at all. Everywhere they pass is devastating. It appeared suddenly. Of course, the filming is still quite realistic and spectacular. Although I know that it is due to the computer special effects, such a realistic visual effect is still worthy of praise, especially the fire tornado that appears at the back, which is so cool. There is also the last picture taken after the armored vehicle was swept away by the tornado, which is impressive. It turns out that the inside of the tornado is so peaceful, which is in sharp contrast with the outside. An indescribable beauty.
The two characters in the film are very eye-catching, one is Gary and the other is Pete. Let's focus on these two characters. Gary has two sons, the eldest son and Gary are a bit estranged, and on the day of the graduation ceremony, the eldest son who was supposed to be filming went to the abandoned factory with the girl he liked, and because of this wrong decision, the eldest son and that The girls are in danger when the tornado comes, and Gary goes out of his way to find it. Gary, the vice principal of the school, first guided the students to evacuate when the storm hit, fulfilling the obligation of an educator to ensure the safety of the students, and when the students were safe, he went to find the eldest son who did not attend the graduation ceremony. , I was afraid that he would be in danger, after all, the whereabouts of the tornado was unknown. The road to saving the eldest son is very difficult, because unprecedented tornadoes appear along the road again and again, the speed of which makes people be caught off guard, and its power is daunting, but for the sake of his son, he resolutely moves forward with only one purpose. - Save your own children. Actor Richard Armitage, who played Gray, portrayed the role of a father very deeply. Although he was busy at work, his love for the child grew day by day. When the child was in danger, his anxiety was in person. The stern eyes that are not afraid of the storm, and the sound of the stone falling to the ground when the child is safe, all show the responsibility of being a father, the kind of loving son, the kind of caring for oneself. Another eye-catching is Pete, who is chasing the wind. The initiator of people, he showed a strong utilitarian intention in the first half. The pursuit of the wind is actually to be famous and make money, and he will do anything for this purpose, and the price is also heavy. When his crew members were killed in a tornado, he was more concerned with the tapes, and the sense of selfishness was chilling. And when he finally walked out of the safe haven for the lives of the students and team members, and used his own strength to help the trapped people, he was great at that time, in stark contrast to the indifferent image before. So it's impossible to fully define what kind of person he is, and his psychological changes are also complicated, maybe because his team members risked their lives to race tornadoes in order to save people, maybe because of seeing a father for his children He tried his best, maybe because he found out that the little human beings in the tornado were so small, why didn't he value life, in short, his behavior was quite surprising, and he sang for his greatness.
Typical story structure. Setting up a family full of contradictions, a single father cannot get along sexually with his rebellious teenage son. A discordant team, the contradiction between the team leader and the technical core personnel. Then go through the disaster together and understand each other. In American disaster films, there is never a shortage of scenes of stopping the fleeing car to save passers-by, quoting a sentence in the film, "Sometimes I think the human species is crazy, but in a critical situation, people like you and me are Ordinary people are good people, I think it's good." When Allison thought Pete was still crazy about shooting and couldn't understand, Pete risked his life to save Allison's life with his tank, and when the two looked at each other, It seems that all the contradictions of the past have long since dissipated. Everyone can be redeemed by helping each other in times of disaster. Everyone is a good person, but temporarily stops being good for different things. Once you face death and abandon the troubles of the world, everyone will return to the most primitive kindness . Although this kind of plot is a bit cliché, there are not too many unexpected plots. But there is also a need to deliver a message that leads to good. At the same time, most of the Hollywood disaster films will send such a message. This film does it too. And this movie also tells about the other side of facing disaster - madness. There are always some people who are crazy about some things, and no matter what the situation is, they maintain their enthusiasm for the things they yearn for. What's more, some people's career is to chase after disaster after disaster. Pete, who was caught in the eye of the wind, smiled at the moment when he saw the scenery that only God can see, although death was probably coming in the next second. There is also tracy who is always holding the camera, and Pete who is always on the record. These people are crazy. Although they have argued and blamed themselves for Yabug's death, I think this young man, who was afraid of death, got excited and turned into a crazy person when he was really facing the madness of nature. Although he lost his life. If the emotional story of the people in the movie when they face the disaster makes people feel like they fall into the cliché, then it is the madness in the movie that makes the movie taste. Maybe it's crazy to think that this world is so wonderful because of these crazy people.
One of the highlights of this film is that the visual effects are very shocking, so that the tornado is displayed in front of people as real. People may have heard of a hurricane, but few people have seen a real tornado, even if they have seen it. It's not so close to observe, because once you get close, you will be sucked in, so you can only stay away. And this movie shows the appearance and internal shape of the tornado very realistically, and understands people's mysterious curiosity about the tornado, which not only peeps at this huge natural phenomenon, but also makes people more afraid of it. When the tornado came, it was so silent, but when it appeared quickly, the escape became a race against time, and everywhere it went, it was in a mess, and it could be seen that the power was average~ That kind of shocking movie portrayed more clearly And it's true, it's a visual blockbuster.
