"The Japanese scenery at the beginning of the film is really beautiful"
"The Sinking of Japan" is a 150-minute disaster thriller film co-produced and distributed by TBS Television and Toho Pictures. Directed by Shinji Higuchi, written by Masato Kato, and starring Tsuyoshi Kusanagi, Yuki Shibasaki, Yoshiji Toyokawa, Masayoshi Daichi, and Mayoko Fukuda, the film was released in Japan on July 15, 2006.
Adapted from the novel of the same name by Sakyo Komatsu, the film tells the story of geologists who have discovered that due to changes in the earth's crust, the whole of Japan will sink to the bottom of the sea in more than 380 days, and the Japanese government will find a way to resolve this unprecedented crisis.
Synopsis:
Geophysicist Yusuke Taso (Katsura Kobayashi) leads his team on a deep-sea expedition, only to find anomalous cracks and mudslides on the ocean floor, and after a series of investigations, he concludes that the Japanese archipelago is about to sink a year later. However, Japanese government officials believe that Dr. Tanso's predictions are not a lie worth believing. Only Prime Minister Yamamoto (Koji Ishizaka) recognizes the seriousness of the situation and appoints Tansho's ex-wife, Saori Takamori (Masayoshi Dachi), as Minister of Crisis Management, leading Dr. Tanso and their team in an effort to save Japan. Soon, starting from Hokkaido, large-scale geological disasters occurred on the Japanese islands, and the whole of Japan fell into a panic. The government is helpless against disasters, the only overseas migration policy is completely unable to cope with the rapid deterioration, and the reality of the complete sinking of the Japanese islands is about to unfold. In the end, Dr. Tanaka and his expedition team finally found a way to save Japan, but the actual operation of this method was difficult...
Adapted from the best-selling novel of the same name by Japanese science fiction novelist Sakyo Komatsu, the film cost 2 billion yen and is the biggest investment and publicity disaster film in the Japanese film industry in recent years.
appraise:
"The Sinking of Japan" can deeply appreciate the sense of tragedy, fatalism and mission of the Japanese people conveyed by the film. Special geography and special history have created a special national character, and perhaps Japan is the most peaceful and dangerous nation in the world. It is well documented that they have good earthquake-proof buildings, have been unremittingly carrying out earthquake prevention education for a long time, and started from dolls, so in the earthquakes after the war, not many Japanese people really died directly in earthquakes. Therefore, from the opposite direction, the movie "The Sinking of Japan" is actually in line with the Japanese people's idea of disaster prevention and relief, both stemming from fear and uneasiness, although the film can be exaggerated, it is ultimately rooted in reality.

"By the standards of twelve years ago, this piece is pretty good"
City of Fire is a disaster film directed by Mick Jackson and starring Tommy Lee Jones, Anne Hatcher, Gaby Hoffman, don Chandel, and others. The film was released in the United States on April 25, 1997.
The film tells the story of a major earthquake that erupts a volcano hidden deep underground in Los Angeles, and rescue commander-in-chief Mike and geologist Dr. Amy introduce magma into the sea in a limited amount of time to avoid the destruction of Los Angeles.
A major earthquake caused a volcano hidden deep under los Angeles to erupt, and hot magma flowed to the densely populated area of the City of Angels, and a tragedy of destruction was about to occur. Mike (Tommy Lee Jones), who is the commander-in-chief for the crisis, first did not believe that there would be a volcanic eruption, but then took evacuation measures at the advice of geologist Dr. Amy (Anne Hatcher). They first used millions of tons of aerial precipitation to turn the menacing magma into an obstacle and block the flow of magma. But the sudden disaster caused great panic among the people. The lava flowing on the road is blocked, but they actually flow into the tunnel, and after penetrating the subway, they also flow into the city from the exit of the subway. Mike and the others are tasked with channeling magma into the sea to avoid the destruction of Los Angeles.
appraise:
"Living Fire City" does not express the struggle of human nature in the face of danger in most disaster movies, most of the characters are united to fight against disasters, there is no villain with ulterior motives, there is no bad guy who puts everyone into crisis for their own selfish desires, and there is no bold mouse generation that is scared to escape from the battlefield in the face of disaster. The most moving part of the film is the passage where the captain of the subway rescue team carries the wounded, steps on the magma, sacrifices himself, and saves others. Such heroes, in real life, will emerge every time a disaster occurs, and they are the real braves.

"At that time, Spider-Man was not Spider-Man"
Tsunami Miracle is a 2012 drama film produced by Warner Bros. Pictures based on the true events of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. Directed by Spanish director Juan Antonio Bayana, co-starring Ivan McGregor, Naomi Watts, Tom Herland and Geraldine Chaplin. The film was first screened at the Toronto Film Festival in Canada on September 9, 2012.
The film tells the story of Maria and Henry who travel to Thailand with their three sons to celebrate Christmas. After the Christmas Eve revelry, the family encountered the most terrible tsunami of the century. A wave washes the family apart, and Maria finds a glimmer of life when she is devastated, and finally the story of her family reunion.
The film is based on a real event that occurred during the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami.
Maria (Naomi Watts) and Henry (Ivan McGregor) and their three sons travel to Thailand to spend the Christmas season together, but just after Christmas, when the happy family is enjoying a leisurely time by the pool, a beast-like wave of 10,000 feet is coming. Stunned by the sight of her eyes, Maria was momentarily unable to react and was tragically swept by a huge wave; and although Henry grabbed his two sons in time to prepare for escape, it was still too late, and the fierce water finally washed them away. Maria, who had been knocked unconscious by the waves, woke up to find herself floating on the surface of the sea, and all the scenery that had originally surrounded her had been submerged under the water, and she was convinced that her family had died, and found that her eldest son Lucas was floating on the sea only a few meters away from her. Maria was suddenly shot in the arm, and she decided to do everything she could to take her eldest son Lucas and leave alive...
The plot of "Tsunami Miracle" is relatively pure, and the timeline of the whole movie is the tens of hours from the death of a family to the reunion, unlike "Tangshan Earthquake", which smuggles the film genre into a family ethics film for a long time, nor is it like "1942", which is ambitious enough to bend the false history of straightness. The small pattern seems to be simple to deal with, but in fact it requires higher technology and skills. The tsunami special effects in the opening period are much more realistic than the earthquake scenes in "Tangshan Earthquake", and the audience is more likely to have an immersive sense of substitution.
Ivan McGregor makes several appearances at the beginning of the film, only to reappear halfway through, like bulgakov's belated protagonist in The Master and Margaret. However, McGregor did not come to play soy sauce, in the second half of the film to take over the role of Naomi Watts, with a strong personality to influence the two young sons, adhering to the concept of family first, looking for Maria and Lucas, and finally keeping the clouds open to the moon, the miracle finally appeared, and the family was reunited. This miracle happens because of love and persistence. In other words, the expression that Chinese is more familiar is the slogan in Xu Sanduo's mouth: do not abandon, do not give up.

In the films related to volcanoes, this film is a very classic.
Breaking Bad is a disaster film directed by Roger Donaldson and starring Pierce Brosnan and Linda Hamilton, released in the United States on February 7, 1997.
The film tells the story of scientist Harry, who came to Dante's Peak to conduct research and found that the volcano has abnormal activity, and rescued the townspeople during the eruption.
Dr. Harry Dalton (Pierce Brosnan), a volcanologist at the American Geological Exploration Center, was sent to visit a small town on Dante's Peak, a dormant volcano near Washington. Harry arrives in town just as Mayor Rachel (Linda Hamilton) is hosting a celebration as the town has just won the second-place award for best living in the nation. Rachel and her two children take Harry around, passing by the hot springs lake, harry notices that the water is too sour and finds two cooked floating corpses. Halleton felt that the situation was not good, the volcano was very likely to erupt, and suggested that Rachel issue an early warning, but Paul, who was traveling with Harry, thought that he was overreacting and planned to return home after a week's exploration mission, and the town council also refused to issue an early warning for various interests. One night, however, the town's water was suddenly contaminated with sulfur, a precursor to a volcanic eruption, and Rachel immediately launched a national evacuation plan, but her mother refused to evacuate on the mountainside. At this moment, the volcano has erupted irrepressibly...
The film reflects the threat posed by the terrifying forces of nature to human society, focusing on the beautiful emotions of people in distress after the disaster, as well as the mutual assistance between humans and animals, which can be regarded as the highlights of the film. But on the whole, the film's story structure is average, the special effects are barely passed, and the performances of Brosnan and Hamilton are rarely outstanding, and on the whole, they can only be regarded as decent popcorn movies.

Ironically, this is the most prosperous place, but it has staged a tragic scene.
World Trade Center is a disaster-themed film produced by Paramount Pictures, directed by Oliver Stone, and starring Nicholas Cage and Michael Pena.
Based on the true story of the 9/11 incident, the film tells the story of two police officers surviving under the rubble. On August 11, 2006, the film was released in the United States. On November 10, 2006, the film was released in China.
Synopsis:
This film is a disaster film set in the United States "911" incident, and the story recreates the sudden disaster at that time. On a wonderful early morning on September 11, the Fire Services Department suddenly sounded an alarm bell, and after receiving the news that the World Trade Center had collapsed after the terrorist attack, fire constable John McLorin (Nicolas Cage) and his colleagues immediately rushed to the scene, and they were greeted by a horrific picture, the collapsed building smoking, and the injured people groaning in pain. In order to rescue the people trapped inside the World Trade Center, John rushed into the building with his teammates despite the danger of the crumbling building, but before they could make a move, they were crushed by the second collapse of the building. When John wakes up in the rubble, he finds that all his former companions who fought alongside him have been killed, and only a police officer named Will Gimino (Michael Pena) is still alive. They waited for the rescue team in the hellish ruins, facing the gradually scarce oxygen and the death that could come at any time, fear, wandering, sadness, despair slowly attacked from all directions, rescue and self-help were launched at the same time in a thrilling 24 hours...
This film reflecting the horrors of "9/11" is a typical Hollywood theme of the film, although the film has a small entry point, but also does not forget to truly show the scene of the "9/11" event, whether it is the plane crashing into the Gemini Building, or the tragic fall from the tall building in desperation, or the shock of the collapse of the World Trade Center, and the bleakness of the building becoming ruins, everything is truly displayed in front of the eyes. At the same time, the film also organically integrates the news reports at the time and Bush's speech through the way people watch TV in the film. But in the description of the hero's heroic deeds, director Stone's handwriting is so delicate and touching, it is really a textbook of the main theme of the film.

Don't doubt that after watching this film you will fall in love with a monster.
Godzilla is an American sci-fi monster film co-produced by Legendary Pictures and Warner Bros. Pictures and directed by British director Gary Edwards, and is the reboot of the "Godzilla Series" and the second film about "Godzilla" in the United States, the last film of the same name was released in 1998. The film stars Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Ken Watanabe, Elizabeth Olson, Juliet Binoch, Sally Hawkins, David Strzehn, Brian Cranston, and others.
The film reshaped the image of Godzilla's "terrible force of nature" in Japan, released in North America in 2D/3D/IMAX 3D format on May 16, 2014, and set a new box office record for the first day of 2014 in North America with a box office score of 38.5 million on the first day of release and won the weekly championship with 93.2 million, and was released in Chinese mainland on June 13, with a new record for the introduction of film in 2014 with 70 million yuan on the opening day. As of June 15, Godzilla grossed $191 million at the North American box office and $439.6 million worldwide, and won the Overseas Box Office Weekly Championship with $38 million.
The film revolves around the life of a human soldier, telling the story of a sleeping ancient giant monster that is accidentally awakened by people, and the monster that wakes up shows a powerful destructive ability, and its existence also shocks the world. The film also highlights the direct impact of the atomic bomb on living things.
In 1954, the United States discovered Godzilla, a super destructive beast awakened by nuclear weapons, and tried to use a nuclear bomb to destroy Godzilla, but in the end it could only make Godzilla sleep in the depths of the Pacific Ocean. Since then, countries have jointly launched the so-called "Imperial Plan" to study ways to completely destroy monsters. In 1999, when an earthquake struck a mining area in the Philippines, Serizawa Ichirō, a scholar involved in the "Empire Project", went to investigate and found the petrified egg sac of the insectoid monster "MUTO" in the pit, and found that only a hatched Muto had escaped. In the same year, the wife of engineer Joe Brody was killed at a nuclear power plant in Japan due to a radiation leak caused by an earthquake of unknown cause.
Fifteen years later, Joe Brody's son, Ford, is now a lieutenant in the U.S. Navy, specializing in bomb disposal and blasting. For fifteen years he had been trying to unravel the mystery of the day's catastrophe, and finally discovered that it was all caused by a monster as huge as a mountain.
The sense of substitution is quite strong. The audience, as if immersed, is such a grand world of science fiction. It's not that we say it's good because it's grand; it's because the audience can really feel Garyce. Edwards brought us into the world, we watched the insectoid monster MUTO stir up, we watched them match male and female to stir up the world, we watched them tower into the clouds. Sitting in front of the big screen in the cinema, we may even feel a kind of weakness, they, stirring up wings, we are gone; they, with their steps, we have nowhere to escape. I believe they represent a natural force of revenge or destruction. As the movie says with the help of the character's mouth, we always thought we could control the forces of nature, but in the end we found that we were still under the control of the forces of nature.
The monster Godzilla becomes the hero who eventually kills MUTO and saves the world. The film constantly hints at the nuclear explosion that occurred in Japan in 1945, the scenes of nuclear ruins and nuclear tests are repeated and repeated throughout, and the monster Godzilla has an incomparably large and tough body, which can spew powerful nuclear energy to kill opponents, people are afraid of it, but they have to rely on it to save the world. Godzilla seems to have become an imaginary existence of nuclear energy walking the earth in biological form; in other words, Godzilla is the biological manifestation of nuclear energy, the nuclear energy that can move around, the nuclear energy with simple thinking. If nuclear energy is alive, it is Godzilla.
Therefore, Godzilla on the big screen is also good and evil. And it finally took the initiative to hide at the bottom of the ocean after killing MUTO, which seems to hint at an invisible psychological expectation of the future fate of nuclear energy. People think that they can control the forces of nature, but in the end, people have to admit that many things are not human; in the life-and-death duel between Godzilla and MUTO to fight violence with violence and force, the panicked human beings creeping under their feet never appear great, but obscene and small. This kind of indecency and smallness, in the perspective of species to species, is due to a kind of selfish nature of human beings. In the huge footsteps of the monster, in the collapsed city, people fleeing for their lives everywhere, the feeling of that moment may be similar to the way we humans destroy an ant nest and the ants scatter and flee.
We have always been attracted to the theme of monsters, and this attraction is engraved in the DNA of humans. From legends such as the Classic of Mountains and Seas, whether in the East or the West, there are constantly "monsters" in the historical records of mankind. And we live in big cities, but we still have similar fears in our hearts, as if monsters will one day appear and destroy everything we have created and possessed. This kind of psychology and the natural contradictory attributes of human brain strength and weak physical strength have an inseparable psychological precipitation relationship, and it is even more secretly compared to the species-type fear psychology of human beings for excessively seizing natural resources and fearing that nature will one day take it all back.

This chilling piece is definitely not only the monster.
"Han River Monster" is a science fiction film directed by Bong Joon-ho and released in South Korea on July 27, 2006, starring Song Kang-ho and Bae Doona, based on the theme of a traditional Korean family facing the Monster of the Han River.
It mainly tells that due to the illegal dumping of a large amount of metamorphic formaldehyde into the Han River by the US military morgue, the water quality of the Han River has been polluted and the organisms in the water have mutated.
Synopsis;
Park Kang-doo, who is still idle in his 30s, and his father, Hee Bong, run a shop at the Takasui base on the Han River, and live a peaceful life with his younger brother Nam Il, who has not yet found a job after graduating from college, and his sister Nam Joo, who loves archery and has participated in the national team.
Until one day, monsters that eat people everywhere appeared on the embankment of the Han River, and the whole city fell into a panic. Gang Doo's junior high school daughter Park Hyun-seok is kidnapped by monsters, and the family seeks help from the police and hospital, but is treated as a psychopath. Since then, Jiang Dou and his family have fought with the monster to save Xianrui.
"Monster of the Han River" is not a scientific fiction film with strict logic, people can easily find its narrative loopholes, but the moods and absurd jokes of the small characters in the movie have always touched the heartstrings of the audience, even if it is the monster that likes to flip into the water after the air, it also shows its bit of black everywhere in addition to creating panic.
From the beginning, Bong Joon-ho wanted the film to be different from Hollywood disaster films, he defined "The Monster of the Han River" as a social melodrama, although there are horror, comedy, action and other elements of the fusion, but the essence is still the realism of the letter, with the perspective of small people as the starting point, a large number of reflections of the existing problems in Korean society.

Just rush to this ending, this piece is worth adding five stars.
Mist is a horror film produced by Timon Pictures, written and directed by Frank Dalabant and starring Thomas Jane, Nassan Gable, Marcia Guy Harden, and others, released in the United States on November 21, 2007.
Adapted from Stephen King's 1980 novella of the same name, the film focuses on citizens trapped in supermarkets shrouded in the fog of the unknown, fighting monsters and religious fanatics in order to survive.
The painter David Drayton and his youngest son Billy lived in a scenic town in Maine, just after a storm, the town that had been baptized by heavy rain should have regained its refreshing mud and grass atmosphere, but the thick black fog that suddenly drifted against the wind in the distance made David faintly feel ominous.
The thick, unnatural fog that formed almost in the blink of an eye surrounded the entire town, and what the townspeople could not imagine most was that there was a terrifying and evil supernatural force hidden in the thick fog, and it was not only people who were attacked, but also all living things. There are many opinions about the origin of the "fog", the most reliable of which is that a highly classified military base next to the town is conducting a secret experiment called "Project Arrow", but the experiment fails, and the surrounding creatures become victims. For the origin of the "fog", the residents of the town are no longer so concerned, after all, when their lives are hanging in the balance, who has time to consider anything else? How to escape from these deadly but disembodied fog attacks is the most important. Immediately, they found that this was almost impossible.
David Drayton and his son led a small group of people, highlighting the thick fog, and retreated to a supermarket, temporarily escaping the disaster. However, David suddenly realized that the most terrible thing in this world was not the black stuff outside, but the townspeople who had been so familiar with the supermarket with him, and the humanity and life had been greatly tested at this moment.
"The Mist" is actually exploring a possibility based on deep human nature, so it seems to be true or false, so that we as human beings cannot let go. It is a spiritual sketch that captures the essence of the art of Stephen King's novels. Not only is it full of suspenseful plots and character settings, but also in the use of very few direct horror scenes, the shocking effect on the audience's psychology has surpassed a number of bloody horror movies, it can be said that it continues the style of Stephen's thriller novels.
Therefore, the horror of "Mist" does not only stay at the level of scaring people and telling stories, but also digs deeper into people's hearts. It's how people react when they're trapped in confined spaces and in danger. In such a situation, the most terrifying thing is not the monster, but the person, which is the really wonderful part of "The Mist".

The Clover Files is a science fiction film directed by Matt Reeves, written by Drew Gundam, and co-starring Mike Vogel, Jessica Lucas, and Michael Starr-David. The film was released in the United States on January 18, 2008.
The film is mainly about the fall of New York overnight. Without warning, the night sky of New York seemed to explode, and in an instant the world collapsed, a huge roar, heavy footsteps approached from afar, the head of the statue of freedom fell into the street, the military intervened and opened fire, and the whole city fell into the end of the world.
However, a sudden shaking of the mountain disrupted everything That Rob had planned in advance, and at the same time stunned everyone at the party, and everyone's eyes widened in disbelief. When the commotion receded, it was time to see live coverage of the suspected earthquake in the news, but what happened soon proved that the so-called earthquake had a follow-up, and then evolved into a veritable disaster: a large fireball exploded on the distant horizon, triggering a very powerful shock wave. All the partygoers fled in confusion and panic, and although they eventually stumbled out and ran into the street, they were not far from the real danger.
The streets were filled with frightened crowds screaming, roaring, and crying, and Rob and his friends were surprised to find that there was already a visible crack in the surface. With heavy gasps and footsteps, Rob and his companions are about to endure the sudden attack of some kind of monster that is not of this world, but is terrible and evil.
The Clover Files is a lot like Blair the Witch, the difference between the two is that the former actually represents a monster. Unlike other monster films, this movie seems to be all from a single person's DVD, giving the audience a sense of immersion, and is considered by critics to be another film that injects new blood into the aging genre of monster films after the Korean film "Monster of Han River". The investment in The Clover Files is $30 million, and most of this money is spent on special effects production, so although the image is blurry, the production is not rough, and the monster effect is very good
