There are some movies that you should watch no matter what and can only be watched in the cinema, and there are some movies that you can't watch before you watch them. I know what I'm going to see but I have to watch it. There are some movies that I don't expect to see an interesting story but I still have to watch them. There are some movies that are not released and I know they must have mixed reviews and some people. Write 3,000 words to tell you that there are as many as 50 bugs in this film. There are some movies that are superficial and vulgar in Hollywood and represent the most advanced film production in the world. 2012 is such a movie.
Watching 2012 is like a perfect sex process, about 45 minutes of calm foreplay, starting from the car running through the landslide and the ground, the whole film reached an uncontrollable climax of more than an hour, and then opened my eyes at the end, a ray of light The sun shines in, and the blue sea and blue sky are reborn. No wonder almost everyone is fighting to the death with their bladders in the movie theater's little dark room.
When I got up from the chair, my head was dizzy. This was because of the irresistible dizziness brought by the sound and light of the movie. You already knew that this was a story about the destruction of the earth. You already knew that this was a pile of countless special effects. You would have known that this was a vulgar routine of sacrificing perfection. You would have known that it was a series of ignorant flaws and bugs. You would have known all this, but you still couldn’t resist dizziness or excitement. 2012 is such a movie.
I have always been opposed to too much analysis and research on movies, especially commercial movies under the framework of disaster films, which will make people lose sight of the essence of entertaining the public. It's pointless to analyze bugs, because if there are no bugs, the film will not be made, because the destruction of the earth will come soon, no one can drive through the cracks of the earth, and no one can fly the plane successfully the first time , No one can stay in the water for so long before their lungs explode, and there is no ark and no rebirth. Everyone just disappears into nothing like this. The real bug-free thing is that we are all finished. Where can there be movies?
But I'm also against the idea of film being a mere popcorn by-product, especially for disaster films in this commercial film framework. Because since it is a disaster film, it must warn the survival of human beings, have a minimum concern for human nature, have a minimum acura for the halo of human nature, and at least have enough respect for life. Otherwise, why is it called a disaster movie?
Therefore, the effect of disaster films must be organically combined with the effects of commercial films, so as not to make the disaster too heavy and the business too superficial. At this point, the 2012 attempt was successful.
In terms of entertainment, 2012 did a good job, although the disaster framework this time was too grand, reaching the height of the whole earth and all human beings. Apart from the high-quality special effects scenes that do not need to be repeated, in the tone of the film, the director does not seem to deliberately create a kind of tragic and heavy, but instead is full of a lot of casual sense of humor and comedy, this humor runs through the life and death moments of escape, also Intertwined in the fear of the imminent destruction of human beings, the film will not lose the tense tone of the whole film because of this joy, but this embellishment will make people impressive and amplify the entertainment effect of the film to a certain extent. I was thinking that if humanity is to be destroyed, the last trait to destroy must be a sense of humor, and if humanity is to be reborn, the first trait to be reborn must also be a sense of humor.
Some people questioned that the film focuses on the escape of a small group of people or even just a family and ignores all human beings. I can only say that this is a last resort. Since the frame has been enlarged to the level of all human beings, it is impossible to find salvation. The method of all mankind, and human beings are always small and helpless in the face of disasters, so the point is not that the director chooses the family or everyone as the starting point of care, but the most important thing is a problem that has been ignored by many people in the film, namely "Do you believe that people will show that kind of selflessness and fearlessness in the face of extinction", the film is always trying to answer this question, and the answer is obviously yes.
Survival is an instinct. If possible, everyone wants to live, and they all want to live with those they love, but if not, can selflessness overcome instinct? Jackson has been helping the whole family escape. When he realized the disaster was real, his first thought was his ex-wife and children, and even his ex-wife's current boyfriend rescued him. Driving cars and planes to find maps, they all try to survive as a group until they finally land on a glacier in Sichuan. Jackson's ex-wife was begging the Tibetans to take away their children. Jackson still dived in the cabin for the safety of everyone, including the dignitaries from various countries who decided to open the cabin door to save even one more person, and even the selfish and arrogant one. The old Russian man also gave up his own survival at the last moment and rescued his child.
The instinct of life is too powerful, but selflessness is not an instinct. As for whether people can give up the instinct to win because of selflessness in the face of extinction, it is still unknown, but at least the movie gives such an answer, which is the above Speaking of, at least caring for human nature, and at least acclaiming the halo of human nature.
If there was an end of the world, what would you do before the end?
I don't believe in the Jackson myth, I don't want to chase survival, if there is an end, I'd like to destroy it, if there's an ark, that's not the destination I'm after, I don't need to write a list because it's too late, I'm willing to stand like Charlie On a mountain ridge, watching the apocalyptic twilight and then dying of excitement, I would also like to sit on my knees before a thousand feet of waves and hug my loved ones to death, because then, even on the last day of the earth, I will witness the end of this earth. The wanton and splendor of the carnival, but there is no regret.
I would like to give this document to us who woke up on December 22, 2012. If we were still alive that day, then we should continue to live so well. Because no matter how dazzling the death is, it is not as great as the ordinary life.
