Until the next grade, the global box office exceeded one billion US dollars, ranking third in the year!

This result is not bad, four Hollywood movies, with a cumulative box office of 4 billion, completely prove the strength.

Back in Beverly, countless scripts flew like snowflakes, not just the Big Six, but many independent film companies, all genres.

After reading everything, I was not very satisfied, and I couldn't pick up the tall one in the cripple, so I could only choose one of Warner's scripts, and it was a disaster movie, last time, this time it was a natural disaster.

Doomsday Falls!

The main character is Raymond, a former American GI who becomes a helicopter rescuer for the Los Angeles Fire Department after a career in the smoke and flames. Although they are dedicated to their work, admired and trustworthy, none of these can save a failed marriage.

Ray returned to work after a brief sabbatical when a once-in-a-century earthquake struck southern Nevada, and the Hoover Dam was completely destroyed in a powerful earthquake.

Another powerful earthquake struck Los Angeles from San Francisco, and you watched from a helicopter as the bustling city turned into ruins.

At this time, his wife Emma and daughter are in two cities, and in order to save the two people they love the most, they are alone and brave to start a race against time against the earthquake.

is another heroic tough guy movie.

The reason why I chose this script is from the box office, there seems to be no disaster movies that are too strong in recent years, and the audience should like it.

With an investment of more than 150 million US dollars, it is basically smashed on special effects, and just by looking at the script, you know that the big scene is very shocking, which is also the reason why I made my choice.

San Andreas is a place name, which translates to San Andreas, and it is the San Andreas Fault that is combined with the Fault to form a more famous name, the San Andreas Fault.

The two plates have an average annual sliding distance of 33 to 37 millimeters, which scientists speculate could lead to earthquakes of magnitude 9 or higher. As early as 1906, the San Francisco earthquake with a magnitude of 78 on the Richter scale had already occurred in this area.

100 years on, the threat of earthquakes is still there, although it is not known exactly when. The script is a science fiction film based on the speculation of this geological condition, which can be regarded as a preview and warning.

For such a popcorn work, Ding Cheng is more interested in the setting of the protagonist's family in the story. In terms of story, of course, the more different family members are distributed, and it is best to be scattered in the most affected areas, the more the plot can be connected, and the more comprehensive the horror of the disaster can be displayed.

So the family represented by the protagonist is just right distributed in three places, and the way the tough guy tries to rescue his family members shows the whole disaster well. From his point of view, big scenes appear from time to time, and it becomes logical.

What's even more interesting is that although they are all saving their wives and daughters, the skyscraper last time was only a small area, and only the protagonist's relatives were victimized, and it had nothing to do with anyone else.

This time is different, in the face of endless natural disasters, he will play a pilot of the Air Force Squadron of the Fire Brigade, a veteran soldier in the Gulf War, and has done a lot of beautiful work.

But when the earthquake struck, he was waiting for orders to assemble somewhere. When a natural disaster came, he heard that his wife was trapped in a certain building, and immediately turned around to drive a helicopter to rescue his wife?

This kind of spirit of ignoring everyone and only caring for a small family is simply ...... in my big country

As a government worker, and as a member of a rescue team, the principle is to be close to the people who should be helped. Under the helicopter, there are countless victims, but the tough guy who designed the script still resolutely rushed to his wife's location, and then rescued her after a lot of hard work.

This is not the end, the two of them went to rescue their daughter in deep distress in a distant land, and still didn't care about other people who were more easily rescued?

Even if the helicopter crashes, he uses Shunlai's car to rush to the road. Even drive away from the small plane parked at the airport without saying hello......

This kind of behavior that is good for others and specializes in self-interest, even Ding Cheng is surprised, but in the hearts of Americans, everything is logical?

The screenwriter portrays the protagonist as a completely decent, flesh-and-blood hero. Although his actions are not morally encouraged, there is nothing derogatory about them.

On the contrary, it is full of praise and praise, and it is completely a way to portray heroes to create characters. This made Ding Cheng a little incomprehensible, and it wasn't until he met director Brad that he finally understood.

"In the face of disaster, we first save ourselves, then save others, and if possible, save our own families first, and then others. ”

"For the sorrow of a happy and complete family is better than the pain of two broken families!"

Ding Cheng suddenly realized that this is a cultural conflict. The Chinese media are good at portraying heroes who ignore their own comfort and do not save their own families first, but save other people first, and regard this behavior as a manifestation of deep righteousness.

To put it bluntly, it is the habit of traditional collectivism, in a family group with blood ties as the bond, a person sacrifices himself to protect the interests of the family, just like a group through a fire ant colony, although the individual sacrifices, the collective can still be retained, and the surviving collective will also compensate the victims, so that they can enjoy the corresponding glory.

In the traditional society, the sacrifice of the individual allows the group to obtain the maximum benefit, which plays a very important role in maintaining the production and reproduction of the collective, as well as the stability of the society.

However, in modern society, the collective role of blood relations is getting smaller and smaller, the influence of the family on the individual family is getting smaller and smaller, and the relationship between the individual and the collective is no longer close.

Individual sacrifices, related relatives are less and less compensated from the collective, and the value of individual sacrifices is becoming less and less important.

The value of the individual itself is becoming more and more important for small families. Because American families modernized earlier, they changed their social evaluation system early.

More emphasis is placed on the role of the individual, and individualism becomes manifest. In fact, in the face of disasters, any individual is insignificant, and post-disaster reconstruction requires more resources, and psychological recovery after disasters is also a very difficult problem.

A relatively happy family is far better off recovering from trauma than two broken families. What if a person has the ability to save his family, but does not save it, and chooses to save others?

It is foreseeable that in the process of post-disaster reconstruction, he will face the grief of the death of his family members, as well as the self-blame that he could save but did not save him, and the psychological pressure can be imagined.

Moreover, it is difficult for the people he rescued to ensure that all family members will survive the disaster, so the rescued person will also be grieving with the fact that he survived while other relatives died.

Emphasizing the need to help people in the midst of disasters and ignoring the psychological trauma after disasters can often be more tormenting and more difficult to recover from when it comes to secondary trauma.

Ding Cheng finally understood why the script attracted him!
