The movie "Doomsday Collapse" is a Hollywood blockbuster released in 2015, its director is Brad Payton, telling the story of a major earthquake in Nevada, the United States, which spread from San Francisco to Los Angeles, and then caused a tsunami, which killed tens of millions of people, Dawn Johnson played a helicopter rescuer of the Los Angeles Fire Department, after the earthquake, he single-handedly saved his wife Emma and daughter Blake.
This time because of the zhengzhou rainstorm incident, I began to pay attention to the relationship between human beings and natural disasters, and began to dabble in disaster films, so there was this film review.
From the perspective of artistic expression alone, it is an American blockbuster with strong individualistic colors, the protagonist aura is particularly serious, as the protagonist Raymond Gaines is simply omnipotent, the sky can fly a plane, can skydive, go to the sea can fly a speedboat, rush through the tsunami. Not only can he fight the little rogue with his bare hands, but he can also snatch his daughter with the god of death with a powerful idea, and win the final victory. The whole film is tightly paced, and there is no urine point in the whole process, and I have to say that it is still very cool to watch.
Although some coincidences seem unrealistic, they also satisfy the public psychology: the plot should be abused, the reversal should be exciting, and the ending should be perfect.
Filmmaking is not my profession, film is not my specialty, I have no way to evaluate whether this film is good or bad from the perspective of film, artistic display, etc., just as an ordinary "Hamlet", I want to record what I think after watching this movie, and share it with you.
In the film, Raymond Gaines' wife, Emma, is preparing to divorce him, and has sent him a divorce agreement and a new boyfriend. Daughter Blake and Emma's boyfriend went to Los Angeles together, according to the reason, Blake and the "new father", there should also be a layer of family relationship, perhaps this relationship is not as strong as the feelings between the biological father and daughter, but at least there is a moral obligation to help each other.
But when the earthquake came, Blake was trapped in the car, trapped in the basement, the so-called new father was afraid of affecting himself, just told the security guard that someone in the basement needed rescue, he ran away, and willing to come to The Blake's rescue, one is two young men who have just met, the other is the father Raymond Gaines and the mother Emma who flew thousands of miles away.
In the face of life and death, human nature is fully exposed. People are selfish, when their lives are threatened, some people choose to protect themselves, of course, there are good people who have reached out to help those who need help, but more people, they have goals and choices, they have concerns, there are people who can't rest assured, most of these people are either their relatives or lovers.
The purpose of all people is the same: to keep themselves alive, to keep the people they care about alive.
Just like the rainstorm incident in Zhengzhou, Henan Province, when the flood came, everyone thought about being with their relatives and reporting peace with their relatives, because people are worried. Similarly, it has also been reported that many good people and good deeds have been reported, and there is a big brother who disregards his personal safety and pulls a mother and two children in danger and saves them. A dozen more people pulled a rope together in order to pull a stranger who was about to be swept away by the flood.
In the face of disaster, there is no need to test human nature at all, of course, there is no time to slowly test these, whether human nature is good or evil, often from everyone's instinctive reaction.
There is also a scene in the film that impressed me very much: the wife Emma told the reason for the divorce because of the lack of communication between them, in a previous accident, they lost one of their daughters, but the two of them did not communicate well after this, the two people misunderstood more and more deeply, and were about to part ways.
If it weren't for this disaster, they wouldn't have spoken it through, and they wouldn't have understood what the other person was thinking. This made me feel deeply how important communication is.
In our lives, we often encounter a lot of problems, whether it is work, life, or love, friendship, when we encounter problems, we can often only stand in our own perspective, stand on the moral high ground, to examine others, to criticize each other. Or hide your thoughts and reluctantly do things you don't want to do.
One day, two days...
One year, two years...
One day, they will erupt, and the cause of the outbreak is because there is a knot that has not been solved, and has been there.
It is often said that when a man dies, his words are good. What does this sentence mean? Probably that is to say, a person is dying, and he can't care about what face is not faceless, the feelings are not merciful, some words, held in the heart do not spit unhappy, those words are often the truth, are hidden in the heart for a lifetime.
When you are alive, you don't dare to say it, for fear of bringing bad influence to yourself or your family, you are not afraid of death, after all, people are dead birds in the sky, who will worry about a dead person?
A lifetime is not long, people get along with people, everyone does not know which tomorrow and accidents will come first, so it is better for the people you love and the people close to you. Chat more when you're fine, don't hide your words in your heart, open your heart, and maybe, have a windfall?
After all, movies are movies, and life is not, movies are often for the box office, for art, there is a protagonist aura, and you don't have it, and life doesn't have it.
Human beings have no resistance in the face of disasters, they are really small to the extreme, and the death of "earth breaking apart" is often a matter of such a moment.
Live well, cherish the moment, enjoy a life of hard running and profligacy.
