The whole film is based on the basic context of "disaster early warning-disaster sudden drop-saving lives and self-help". The specific plot is starring the meteorologist Professor Jack, in the first half: he tries his best to persuade high-level politicians and urge the government to take emergency action to deal with the disaster it may face. The second half: Professor Jack's personal rescue of his son trapped in New York is the main line, and the self-rescue of Sam and his classmates is the auxiliary line, which is intertwined. The film presents the mental map of people when they face the critical moment of life and death: 1. In the face of disasters, human nature restores the most basic "self", even the most primitive desire for survival (fighting with wolves) 2. When life and the civilization created by human beings When a contradiction arises, people consciously choose the former (burning books in the library to keep warm) 3. In the face of disasters, the law of human beings "created equal" is fully reflected (beggars who are accompanied by stray dogs may be lucky to survive, developed countries and the United States flooded Set up refugee tents to third world countries) 4. In the face of disasters, family, friendship, and love have been tested, and human conscience and virtue are deeply touching. (Staff on duty at the weather forecasting station) "The Day After Tomorrow" is a disaster film. The scenes of the film are portrayed very realistically, which fully reflects the harsh environment. The film uses a lot of special effects, and these special effects are very realistic. The first scene is the tsunami in New York City. The huge waves soaring over the Statue of Liberty poured into New York City, and a giant ship was washed between the buildings. After that, it snowed again, and the vast New York became a world of ice and snow. As the eye of the wind approached, the temperature dropped sharply, and the entire building in New York was frozen in an instant. Only the head of the Statue of Liberty remained in the vast ice field, and most of the city symbolizing human civilization was frozen forever. In the second scene, four tornadoes swept the entire city of Los Angeles. The helicopter was reporting live, and the people inside the building felt the surrounding shaking. After the tornado passed, a person pushed open the door of a room and found that there was nothing on the opposite side of the door, and it would fall out because the tornado blew off part of the outer layer of the building. Looking around, the city of Los Angeles is already in ruins and looks very desolate. In the third scene, three helicopters went to a certain area in the UK for rescue. They passed through the eye of the wind, the temperature dropped sharply, and the wind speed also decreased to 0. Finally, it crashed due to engine failure. When a person climbed out of the fuselage and was instantly frozen, this scene was really shocking. The film uses a lot of large panoramas to show the harsh environment. Tsunami, tornadoes, and earthquakes have brought great visual shock to the audience. At the same time, they will also make our audience think and make us realize how much it is to protect the environment. importance.
