The end of the world is not sensational

If a movie is just a gorgeous lens to show a scene that ordinary people would never see in real life in a lifetime, then watch a similar movie. Because the computer stunt is nothing more than this, it is hitting the limit of human vision, what kind of scene is invisible in reality, and what kind of scene will be displayed in front of your eyes. However, 2012 should be said to have achieved the ultimate in computer stunts. If it is aimed at this, 2012 is a good film.

However, I have always thought that film is the art of the mind, not the art of vision. From this point of view, 2012 is not a strange story, the end of the world, Noah's Ark, and ridicule against China, the storyline and the performance of the actors basically have no remarkable highlights.

Back to the theme of the 2012 response over the years – the end of the world. In these days, influenza A has ravaged the world, China has suffered heavy snowfall, and it should be raining heavily. The lungs of Ukraine's super flu are like black carbon. It seems that the powerful human beings are wrapped in technology and look vulnerable in the face of real disasters. When a real world catastrophe strikes, I am afraid that the fantasy of building Noah's Ark in 2012 is a bit too naive.

Human beings are much more fragile than they appear. Cities, technology, machines, everything does not belong to human beings when the catastrophe comes. However, God does not exist, and human beings are not the darlings of nature. Humans are waiting like chronic patients. Die, or wait to live, like a beggar in the middle of the road, at any time may freeze to death and starve to death, or be run over to death by a car. It is better to focus on human nature itself than to focus on technology that is useless to human beings. Many more beneficial things are waiting for us to do. This universe seems to be a savage planet, this self-righteous planet.

  • Captain Michaels: [over intercom] Ladies and gentleman, this is Captain Michaels speaking. In a few minutes I will give orders to unseal the decks. At 2345 last night, our sister arks, Numbers 6 and 7, have joined our course. For the first time on our journey, we'll have clear skies and moderate-to-good air quality.

  • Professor West: The equalization of the oceanic seabeds has not turned out to be as extreme as we expected. The waters are receding much faster than we thought, thank God. And this is hard to believe, the Himalayas are no longer the roof of the world. It's now the Drakensberg mountains of KwaZulu-Natal.

    Adrian Helmsley: The entire African continent has risen.

    Professor West: Several thousand feet, and likely never even flooded.
