Luo Ai's "2012" and "The Day After Tomorrow" pushed disaster films to the extreme, so it is undoubtedly very difficult to shoot disaster films well. Therefore, this film can be said to be surprisingly successful, and the production and shooting are relatively fine. The photography adopts the technique of pseudo-documentary, and from the effect shown in the film, it can be said to be miraculous. Authentic, without lack of character. The character arrangement is comprehensive and the shaping is relatively complete. Single-parent family, mother's love, father's love, love beyond the common good, etc.
Although the story is simple, there is a flash of humanity, and it is not bloody. Specifically, although Downey, one of the protagonists, was rescued as always, Jacob died in a fire tornado, and Peter was also killed in a super tornado because one person saved many people. In these scenes, although the deceased is a big one, it should not be said that way, but from the perspective of plot design, "Damn the Dead" is relatively successful. The female protagonist and the male protagonist are also, although sparks are fired, they are controlled by the screenwriter to the level of emotional resonance, and there is no bloody "walking together".
There are also many lenses designed to be very bright. One is the fire tornado, and the other is the set of shots where Peter was caught in the cloud before he died.
In addition, this super tornado looks like the one in the day after tomorrow, and it also appeared on the west coast. Is this some kind of homage?
The choice of actors is also very interesting. The male protagonist is very similar to Uncle Wolf. Could it be that he broke up with Storm? (skin?)
To sum up, this is a relatively successful film, with a personal rating of three and a half stars, I think it is worth it if it is above 7 points.
