Movie Master

The blizzard has finally passed, but the huge Manhattan has fallen into a dead silence, as if all life has lost signs. On the snow-capped ice field, even the buildings have disappeared, leaving only large tracts of high and low ice fields. There is no other scene outside, making people feel like they are in the Arctic Circle, and there is no life within a hundred miles.

When Jack and his party finally arrived in New York after a long journey, they saw such a magnificent sight—the huge freighter was inserted upside down on the ground, completely frozen, and covered with snow-white frost; Along with the direction of the hurricane, the icicles on the statue stand towards the south. Only a head and arms of the statue are exposed above the ground, wrapped in layers of icicles... and the New York Public Library has disappeared.

Standing on the snow field, Jack was at a loss, "How far is it to the library?"

Jason looked at the navigator in his hand, "It should... be here." But looking around, except for snow and snow, except for icicles and icicles, not only is there no sign of people, even buildings can't be seen, Jason said hoarsely, "I'm sorry, Jack."

The other parents standing behind Jack were dumbfounded, unable to respond after being desperate to the extreme. Some trivial sobs can be faintly heard in the projection hall, and the uncontrollable tears wet the boundless silence and silence, making the movie reveal a sense of sadness.

But Jack was unwilling to give up. He started to run wildly on the snow field, ran to a snow hill, and then saw the magnificent scene in front of him. The New York Public Library was buried under the thick snow, only the two arched windows on the top floor were exposed, and all other parts were frozen into ice, as if time and space had been frozen live in general.

The insignificance of human beings is magnified to the extreme at this moment.

The sobbing stopped abruptly, Javier, like other audiences, couldn't help leaning forward, followed in the footsteps of Jack and others into the library that had evolved into an Eskimo igloo, looking for signs of life. Desperate steps are walking in the ice and snow, empty steps can not awaken any trace of life signs, the sight is completely white, endless white, there is no color other than that. The six people staggered and ran in the empty library, every step was cutting a glimmer of hope, sad and cruel.

Finally, I finally saw a tinge of orange coming from under a white ice door, and walked up to the front, but the footsteps of Jack and others froze, and they didn't dare to move forward. Everyone else stayed in place, only Jack took a hard step, walked up step by step, and then pushed open the door, the entire igloo dyed orange appeared in front of him, Jack looked at the igloo in front of him. The shivering figures huddled together, as if everyone had lost signs of life. Jack suppressed his trembling wrists, and used the flashlight to search for Sam one by one, and finally stopped by the fireplace.

Lauren was awakened by the light of the flashlight, "Who is that?"

Sam looked into Jack's startled eyes, smiled, and whispered, "My father."

At this moment, Javier's warm eyes finally couldn't bear the weight anymore, and hot tears just fell down like this. The embarrassment at that moment made Javier lower his head, and then wiped the tears from his eyes, but from the corner of his vision, he saw that Joshua seemed to have turned his head away.

Immediately afterwards, the call of life came from the library, and the parents finally met their children again. The joy of reunion caught people off guard, and when Brian learned the news of his father's death, his overwhelmed dazed expression made the joy heavy. Sam left his father's arms, walked to Brian's side, and patted him on the shoulder; then, Lauren and J.D also came over one after another.

At this moment, they are all surviving children.

The disaster is over, but the disaster of the whole world has just begun. The President of the United States unfortunately died in the snowstorm, and the Vice President, who has not paid enough attention to the greenhouse effect, had to become the interim president and took over the heavy responsibility of post-disaster reconstruction. We are so small before the forces of nature. For years we thought we could squander resources recklessly, and we were wrong. I was wrong!"

After the disaster, not only Sam and others, but also many survivors in New York, they went to the top floors of high-rise buildings, seeking help; not only New York, but also more survivors in the north, on the vast ice sheet Waiting for... new students.

The power of nature cannot be stopped, and human beings are so small; but in front of nature, human beings are tenacious and firm, but they never bow their heads.

The movie was over, Javier let out a long breath, all the muscles in his body relaxed, and he slumped on the chair, which relieved the tension that had been tense for 120 minutes, but Javier couldn't feel it at all. Tiredness, the feeling of rejoicing after the catastrophe, and the hope after the end of the world are slowly flowing in the blood.

Not only Javier, it seems that everyone in the entire projection hall has relaxed, there is not much noise, just relaxing the tense muscles on the chair, the kind of luck that survived the disaster is violently stirring in the chest cavity , not cheering, not yelling, just smiling and relaxing.

Suddenly, Javier had an idea that the end of the world is not terrible, because as long as human beings are willing to unite, as long as the inner kinship, friendship and love will not be extinguished, they can always find a way out; what is really scary will always be human beings Self: Blindness, pride, arrogance, arrogance... and interests.

This feeling of hope calmed Javier's restlessness. He could feel that the script of "The Day After Tomorrow" was all-encompassing and made fun of the issue of Mexican immigration, especially the living conditions of Latinos. It also complements Lance's previous attention to "City of God"; and then ridiculed the inaction of the government/government's interests, not only ridiculed the tax policy, but also hinted at the government/government's stupid selfishness towards the Iraq War; There is also a satire on the role of media opinion leaders...

It can be seen that "The Day After Tomorrow" is not just a commercial film, the simple story is placed in the background of the end of the world - especially the end of the world caused by human selfishness, which raises a series of problems . Lance hinted superficially in the script. Although the space is limited and it is still told in a joking way, it is undeniable that it still brought some thinking after watching the movie.

This is really rare for a commercial film. But the most important core idea is still family, friendship, and love as the basis for unity. Only with true unity and hand in hand can human beings find a way out of the devastating disasters of nature. Invisibly, it once again fits with the theme of "bringing them home", sublimating the whole story.

"How do you feel?" Joshua's voice came from beside him.

Javier turned his head to look at Joshua, thought about it seriously, and then nodded, "I like it very much!" After finishing speaking, he looked at the subtitles slowly climbing up on the big screen. At this time, the person behind him The audience stood up one after another, sending applause and whistles one after another. Although they were not neat, they could clearly feel the cheerfulness of the audience. Javier couldn't help but stood up, applauded the movie, then looked at Joshua again, and said affirmatively, "I like it very much!"

Joshua showed a smile. He didn't answer Javier, but just stood up, joined the applause, and then turned to look at the big screen.

At this moment, at least two-thirds of the more than 1,000 spectators in the Chinese/Chinese Theater stood up, scattered applause mixed with joyful whistles and cheers, making it very lively . This is not a film festival, and "The Day After Tomorrow" is not an art film. This is just the premiere ceremony of a commercial film, and the smiles and happy expressions on the audience's faces are the greatest reward for the film.

Joshua looked back at the boiling scene, and could not help but tap his chin lightly.

The first half of the movie is undoubtedly a success. After the main line of the second half of the movie is concentrated, the script feels a little thin, but the rhythm control is still wonderful, especially the two lines go hand in hand while controlling the climax/tide. In the first ring, the degree of difficulty is higher and higher, and finally reaches the peak when the eye of the storm is sweeping in. It is wonderful and almost pushes the burst of adrenaline to the extreme. Simple and crude, but with an undeniable appeal.

Especially in the creation of the atmosphere, there is despair in the tension, but there is firmness in the despair, so that the whole process of watching the movie is almost forgotten even breathing, and can only be moved forward by the movie. It reminds Joshua of "City of God"'s ambiance, so deftly that it's almost impossible to feel that this is just Lance's second film.

If you want to nitpick, the spiritual core of the film is obviously too weak, the story is too simple, and many parts can add some details and dig deeper... But, as a commercial film, Joshua thinks it is undoubtedly It is successful, popcorn is popcorn, and it seems superfluous to require popcorn to have an aftertaste.

So, Joshua looked forward again, found Lance in the camp of the main creative personnel, and couldn't help raising his eyebrows. He was already looking forward to Lance's next movie.

Jessica Alba couldn't help but stood up, following the audience and agitating her hands, feeling overwhelmed. Although she participated in the entire production of the film, she still had to bear to see the effect on the big screen. They couldn't help but feel agitated. It was hard to imagine that this was the result of their busy months in Montreal.

She turned her head and looked in the direction of Lance, but what came into view was Lance and Keira's wrong ear conversation, which made Jessica's heart contract suddenly, and she froze in place for an instant.
