Although the stunts in it are all wonderful, I don't want to judge, because those are just the carriers of what the film wants to express. I also don't want to see those little funny words in it, it's just some seasonings to make the whole disaster movie closer to real life and make the atmosphere not always very depressing. I just want to say a few points about my own feelings.
After reading it, the strongest feeling is "the more you know, the more you can do". This is so obvious that it probably doesn't even need to be said. Why I just want to emphasize this point, maybe it has something to do with my inner struggle some time ago, maybe it has something to do with my understanding of China's scientific research system. Human beings are insignificant in the face of nature. This feeling is actually the same as facing science. What I have done is not even a drop of water in the ocean (mentioned in an article in the blog). Feeling my own incompetence, I want to do something practical, and give up my dream of infinitely pursuing the unknown. I am incompetent and insignificant, all because I know too little. There may be some problems with China's scientific research system, and there are too many professors. Among the brothers and sisters several grades above me, there are already N full professors, and they are undoubtedly excellent. Someone once praised China's rapid economic development by saying "a stone falls from the sky, and nine out of ten hit the manager". It seems that some people have said that nine out of ten hits are professors, and there is nowhere to test them. Whether it is praise or criticism, blessing or disaster, good or bad, please judge for yourself. The more people there are, the less weight they have to speak, just like the world is full of masters and doctors.
How many people will listen to what a professor says? In the film, the president will be dismissive, before he realizes the seriousness of the problem, only think of the immediate interests. The populace won't listen either, because the populace would rather trust their own minds, and no one would be willing to trust a professor there to "bullshitting". That scene reminds me of Moses leading the Israelites out of Egypt and the Israelis' attitude towards him - he was just a temporary representative of God. (About whether there is really a God, it is beyond the scope of this article.) Perhaps, in this analogy, in parallel, science and God are on the same level, and the professor and Moses are their spokespersons. If God is omnipotent, then so is science (though I don't believe both are omnipotent).
Finally, when the situation got serious, someone listened and started to follow the professor's advice, so many lives were saved. A girl who knows French can help a non-English speaking mother and daughter trapped in a car; a boy saves their lives by keeping a few people in the library because he believes in the right decision of his father; he knows how to use books A woman who looks like a teacher finds a drug to treat sepsis and saves the girl's life; a beggar in Manhattan will tell everyone that there may be food in the trash can, newspapers can be used to keep warm, and maybe that information will be useful for everyone's survival.. .Everyone
said that knowledge is very important, a truth that everyone knows, but is always ignored. Maybe making money really matters. You can live well in this world without knowledge. But what can happen today, what will happen tomorrow, the day after tomorrow? Human selfishness has created today's earth, which is already fragile. Faced with the punishment of nature, human beings are powerless.
I'm not an extreme environmentalist because I eat meat, use appliances, use pretty napkins, fly on planes, and look forward to having my own car one day. But I hope that the meat I eat is ecological, the electrical appliances I use are more efficient, the napkins are not too large, and I hope not to take too many planes (I finally did it in 2007, I feel good at home, and I don’t have to run around), myself Cars run on clean energy. But things always backfire, the market is full of cheap inefficient appliances, big and luxurious napkins, and cars, the most popular ones are big gas-burning cars. The fact is that the research and development of clean energy vehicles has long been a mature model in technology, but because of the high price, it is not so popular with the public. This year, the government has made a clean energy expert the Minister of Science and Technology, which is very encouraging. I admire the boss's efforts to develop nuclear energy in a country that has no shortage of energy. The effect is also positive. It shows me the power and hope that science is affecting society.
In fact, I think more than I can write down. Thinking is too divergent to include everything that comes to mind. In short, this film has become an inspirational film for me.
