If there is no tomorrow, will there be the day after tomorrow?

Global warming has caused global temperatures to plummet, and the northern hemisphere has entered an ice age. Countless people have died from tornadoes, floods that inundated buildings, blizzards, and extreme cold that spread like fire. The story begins with the melting of the glaciers experienced by the expedition team and the conclusions of the climate conference that few people care about. Even the vice president realized at the end that it was a total disaster. The special effects make people feel that this is actually a 04 film, and each character can be fully shaped. The black scholar has both thinking ability, hands-on ability, and observation ability. "This means that it is still eating when it is frozen" is the foreshadowing of the arrival of the eye of the storm later. Homeless people take food from trash cans in rainstorms, teach high school students Fu Erdai to use paper to keep warm; librarians protect the first printed Bible, "Words are the most precious treasure of mankind...If Western civilization dies, at least I protected it." Wait, wait, and so on, all of which are moving. In addition, the background of the story is also complete. For example, after Latin America's debt was forgiven, Mexico opened its borders. This is a disaster, and it is the fault of human beings, but the love of human beings in the disaster is there, whether it is small love or big love. My favorite part is before saving Sam, my mother said "I know." to my father; the black student stared out the window for a short time, turned his head firmly and asked, where did you get the chair, I want to get on the boat with you.

The blizzard's pause seemed to come to an abrupt end, but that's exactly what climate scientists were saying the night before "since humans survived then, so will this time." They walked past the Statue of Liberty, half-buried by the snow, and found Sam in the dimly lit library.

This film is a disaster film, an environmental protection film, but what it says has gone beyond being vigilant about human beings and protecting the environment itself; but it does not make the audience feel complicated and cluttered, but as an audience, they feel respected by the production. As far as I am concerned, it has become more and more difficult to understand in domestic film and television works in the past two years.

I can't help but wonder what the follow-up to the movie from seventeen years ago will be. What happened just a moment ago: after watching the movie, I picked up my phone and found a friend on WeChat telling me that the wind had knocked down the bathroom cabinet, and the glass was scattered in the corridor; the news software sent a yellow warning for the weather forecast of lightning and hail in the adjacent area.

Today is June 30, 2021, and last Monday was the summer solstice.
