[MOVIE REVIEWS] The details and emotional model of the disaster movie-"The Day After Acquired"

Compared with other movies that blindly render disaster scenes, "The Day After Acquired" has two aspects that are particularly good: details and emotions.

　　People who have seen the disaster movie "The Day After Day" can't help but ask, is it because the disaster described in the movie hit the earth?　　But not. This is just an ordinary cold wave, but the intensity and scope are rare in recent years. The severe cold in the movie has broken through the limit that humans can bear. It will be the glacial century for humans.　　Because the movie was released in 2004 and it has been more than ten years since, there is no need to worry about spoilers. I believe readers who love science fiction movies or disaster movies have already watched this movie. Although the movie is about the extreme cold of the earth, the beginning of the film is cut from a debate about the greenhouse effect and government finance. The setting of this scene is very clever. The first is that the global warming brought about by the greenhouse effect will trigger the earth. With an unprecedented cooling down, the protagonist and meteorologist Dr. Hall of the film explained this terrible viewpoint to a group of officials who hold the lifeblood of the earth's economy, hoping that they can make corresponding preventive preparations in time, and at the same time change their blindly demanding outlook on development. The second line shows the government's tough attitude, which paved the way for future disasters, and at the same time, it went straight to the last scene. With the president's apology, the beginning and the end echoed neatly and beautifully.　　General disaster movies focus on the shock and impact brought to mankind after the disaster, "The Day After Acquired" is no exception, the huge waves, the wind and snow, even if you nest on a warm sofa to watch this movie Live a cold war. In order to make the effect of the freezing cold more realistic, the production staff did not set up the scene at the photography base, but transferred the crew to Montreal, Canada for winter shooting. I don't know if it should be said that Tianzhuren is still unpredictable. The winter in Montreal was one of the coldest on record. The difficulty of film making is evident from this.　　But unlike other movies that blindly render disaster scenes, "The Day After Acquired" has two aspects that are particularly good: details and emotions.　　The overwhelming disaster scenes are shocking, but for an excellent movie, the rationality of the details cannot be ignored. I still remember the first time I watched this movie with a friend. Not long after it started, because the temperature dropped sharply, the helicopter in the sky was frozen down. It can be imagined how terribly low temperature it takes to destroy the helicopter in flight. Friends also expressed surprise. After the plane landed, a pilot walked out of the cabin. My friend is nitpicking, saying that he can freeze the helicopter, which is definitely more unbearable. As if sensing his doubts, the driver who had just opened the cockpit before stepping out instantly became an ice sculpture. There is also a scene of heavy snow in New Delhi, India. However, friends who know geography know that New Delhi has a tropical monsoon climate and a mild climate. The year is divided into a cool season, a hot season and a rainy season. Even in the cool season, the average temperature is around 14 degrees. In order to be able to photograph the snow-covered New Delhi, the crew specially airlifted handicrafts, rickshaws, cars and other props from India, and also used thousands of Indian nationals as extras. Such details can be seen everywhere. For example, the hail that fell from the sky in Tokyo, Japan was not made by computers, but the hail that the staff polished ice into the size of a table tennis ball was thrown down from a height. Of course, the director has not been able to cover everything. He only takes care of the details of the disaster, but ignores the daily life of the characters. In the film, Dr. Hall's son Sam trapped in the New York City Library did not grow a beard for several days, and was often teased by movie fans.　　In conclusion, this sentence brings out the second part of the film that stands out: emotion.　　Sam and his classmates came to New York to participate in the debate. They were stranded in the New York City Library by the severe cold and flood. In order to keep warm, they had to burn books. When knowledge and life diverge, it is understandable to choose the latter. After all, we cannot require everyone to be a saint. Even if it is a saint, we need to distinguish which one is more important. Dr. Hall has been busy with work, and his relationship with his son Sam is not good. This can be seen from the scene of the see-off at the airport. The attack of the low temperature storm gave them a chance to reconcile. Dr. Hall decided to go to New York to rescue his son. This is the main line of the film. If you think about it carefully, it also has the meaning of the main theme of American movies, that is, personal heroism. Another major emotional expression is the love between Sam and classmate Laura who are trapped in the library. It is very easy to get along with the sparks of love in special, especially difficult and dangerous environments. Love is always a heart-warming move in any harsh environment. These are the highlights of the movie. In addition to these two main lines, there are also many bridges that show the love of the world. For example, Sam ventured out to find treatment for strangers he didn’t know, such as learning that Dr. Hall was going to save His son Shi resolutely walked with him two good buddies, one of whom sacrificed his ego during the journey in order to take care of the overall situation. The true feelings that can be seen everywhere are touching. The ice and snow did not freeze the care among people.　　Finally, as usual, review the main creation of the movie. Speaking of film director Roland Emmerich, perhaps Chinese audiences are not very familiar with it, but let’s talk about the films he made, "2012", "Godzilla", "Independence Day", "Ten Thousand Years Before History", These movies are familiar to everyone. Emmerich is famous for science fiction and disaster films, and enjoys a master status in the field of disaster films. Regarding movie actors, the familiar face is Jack Gyllenhaal who plays Sam. He is well known by Chinese audiences for his participation in "Brokeback Mountain" filmed by Chinese director Ang Lee. Jack Gyllenhaal has also shot a well-known science fiction film "Source Code", and he will have the opportunity to bring you reviews of this movie in the future. Now that we talk about "Source Code", let me be more verbose. The highly anticipated game movie "World of Warcraft" directed by Duncan Jones, director of "Source Code", is expected to be released in North America in March this year. It will be a game. Fan’s carnival. Oh, I almost forgot, "Independence Day 2" directed by Emmerich will be released in June this year, but the absence of Will Smith makes the majority of movie fans' expectations for this sci-fi blockbuster slightly reduced.
