This is a film about disasters and thinking about the future of mankind. Because of human short-sightedness, we are more focused on the small gains in front of us, and the fate of all mankind is not cared about, or even if a few people think about it, it cannot control the blind trend of all mankind. This point was demonstrated by the brief and fierce debate between scientist Jack and the vice president at the beginning of the film. Jack said: "The natural environment is fragile." The vice president replied: "But don't forget that our economy is also Equally fragile". According to Jack’s prediction, global warming caused by human activities will eventually lead to an unthinkable but reasonable result: the coming of the next ice age. However, let alone the results that scientists predict thousands of years later, even if the results predicted by Jack will happen tomorrow, today, politicians and our people always have one or another reason to prevaricate and perfunctory. The economy is a very important bargaining chip. It is understandable that politicians dare not easily disrupt the economy for the vague question of human destiny, thereby affecting their political career. Because as ordinary citizens, are you and me willing to act from now on for the vague human future? Give up cars, reject disposables, save lives,... We are making the earth warmer every minute, but no one is willing to give up our convenience. From the perspective of game theory, all of us are trapped in " Prisoner’s Dilemma", and a more popular explanation is: global warming, perhaps very far away, how much impact my every move can bring. As everyone knows, the influence of a person is insignificant, but the addition of billions of "ones" will put the earth's environment in jeopardy.
However, if disaster is in sight, would you still be so absent-minded? Nature will not be as polite to you as a waiter in a western restaurant. He will not wait until we are all ready to serve food, and he will not be as good as a teacher. Nature is like a male lion. It can be tame and lazy, indifferent to human activities. However, once it annoys him, it is bound to pay a painful price.
In "The Day After Acquired", the director used extreme methods to attract people's attention. Nature restores the environmental balance destroyed by humans to another balance point in a very short period of time in a simple and rude manner. In seven to ten days, through extreme and fearful methods such as hurricanes, tsunamis, hail, etc., the temperature of the entire northern hemisphere was brought down to the level of the South Pole. We can see that the flying American flag was frozen for an instant. The helicopter flying in the air suddenly fell because of the sudden freezing of the oil pipeline. When you step out of the house, you will instantly become an iceman... If this is not a movie, I should How to do? My heart seemed to freeze into ice at that moment.
However, although it is a disaster movie, the layout of "The Day After Day" is as sunny as a poster from beginning to end: when disaster strikes, noble people die in a noble way; kind people die in a kind way; brave sons are protecting At the same time, he also protected others; the determined father went upstream, and finally father and son were reunited; of course, there was also the friendship between colleagues and the love between young people. In short, it is full of all business factors that can move you and resonate. It can’t be said that American blockbusters are not good, but they are always too stylized. Even temporary hard movies that take place in space always make people feel like the Titanic flew into the sky. Commodity society, if you go deeper, it will lose its interest. Generally speaking, it is a pretty good film, which is very appetizing to me, enjoy, and think.
