Maybe because I'm a person who doesn't care on the outside but is soft on the inside, I usually don't dare to watch Korean disaster movies, because I'm afraid of being teared up again, so only when I'm in a very dark mood, will I turn out a Korean disaster movie and let it go. The radiance of humanity or the radiance of love fills the soul. "The Monster of the Han River", "Invasion of Iron Nematodes", and "Influenza" are all disaster films that I think are quite standard. Although the production level of the disaster film "Skyscraper" to be mentioned today is not as good as that of the three films mentioned before, but in The story level is still quite complete, the plot fluctuates greatly, and the emotional aspect is slightly weak, but it has reached the level of earning tears from the audience, so this is a disaster film worth watching.
Last year, there were two fire-fighting-themed films in China, "Firefighting Heroes" and "Escape from Life". Although I haven't watched either, and I often confuse these two films, I want to know that their emotional lines must be the same as those of my brothers. Friendship and dedication are related, because the heroine is not seen on the poster. "Skyscraper" also uses the building fire as the disaster background, but the emotional lines are much richer. The portrayal and satire of the ugly faces of politicians, so when watching the film, the nerves are easily affected by the escalation of disasters one after another. When you are born, you still will not let go of the depression in your heart, and you will still insist on wiping the tears hanging on your cheeks.
According to the usual method of disaster films, the opening scenes are full of joyful scenes. Many people in the building are happily busy preparing for the Christmas banquet. Although there are some problems, they are all resolved. Although such a plot took nearly half an hour to lay out, it successfully explained the background, relationships or contradictions of the characters in the film, and also hinted at the source of the disaster. This narrative form is clear to the audience and unaware of the characters in the film. It also succeeded in mobilizing the tension of the audience. And once the audience's attention was focused, the catastrophe happened. The helicopter used to arrange the real snow hit the stairs and caused a fire, and the people in the building began to flee for life and death. During the escape, the explosion blasted people out of the building, the elevator burned the living people, the way of life was blocked, the building collapsed, the building was dumped, the fire was flooded, the elevator crashed, the water tank was blasted, and a series of escape dilemmas appeared in the people who escaped. In front of him, and the number of escape teams continues to decrease, death is within reach, and sadness and despair keep coming. Fortunately, the hero and the fire chief who symbolize hope are saved in time. After the test, the myocardial contractility was greatly increased, the blood circulation was accelerated, and the lacrimal glands filled quickly. When the fire-fighting captain sacrificed himself for the survival of others, the lacrimal glands were able to withstand the limit. Therefore, even if the heroine is reunited at the end of the story, we as the audience will be reunited. Still unable to lift the corners of his mouth.
There is a classic line in Ang Lee's "Fantasy Drifting of Pi": Life is about letting go, but the most regrettable thing is that we have no time to say goodbye! When watching disaster films, the most emotional thing is that people are really fragile , a person who turns around may be separated from the person he loves, so the old man will say I love you every night when saying goodnight to the old lady, because maybe they may not wake up the next morning, so their last word is me I love you, stories like this can easily move us, but we may not be able to say "I love you" to our loved ones in our lives, and we can't even give a good face. The most painful thing is not physical disability, but mental abuse, irresistible regrets and unstoppable painful memories, so in American dramas like "Grey's Anatomy" or "The Night Shift", it is easy to make up such memes. into a story for the audience to introspect and reflect.
Love is the most precious in the moment, and there are no doubts about all kinds of promises and ten thousand vows for a dead lover. Disaster movies are like cautionary tales hanging on the wall behind an armchair, so that you don't owe your loved ones a debt of regret.
