209 Aftermath

The blizzard finally passed, but the huge Manhattan fell into a dead silence, as if all life had lost its signs, and even the buildings on the snow-capped ice fields had disappeared, leaving only large areas of high and low ice fields, and nothing else, making people feel like they were in the Arctic Circle, with no life within a radius of 100 miles. โŠฅ๏ผŒ

When Jack and his party finally arrived in New York after a long journey, they saw such a magnificent sight - the huge freighter was stuck upside down on the ground, completely frozen, and the snow-white frost covered it tightly; The icicle above the Statue of Liberty stood in the direction of the hurricane to the south, leaving only a head and arms exposed to the ground, wrapped in layers of icicles...... The New York Public Library, on the other hand, is gone.

Standing on top of the snowfield, Jack was at a loss, "How far is it from the library?" โ€

Jason looked at the navigator in his hand, "It should be...... Yes, there is. But looking around, except for snow and snow, except for icicles and icicles, not only was there no one in sight, not even the buildings could be seen, Jason said in a dumb voice, "I'm sorry, Jack." โ€

The other parents standing behind Jack looked blank, unable to react after being desperate to the extreme. Some trivial sobs can be faintly heard in the screening room, and the uncontrollable tears wet the boundless silence and silence, making the film reveal a sense of sadness.

But Jack was unwilling to give up, and he began to run wild on the snowy field, running to the top of a snow hill, and then he saw the magnificent scene in front of him. The New York Public Library was buried under a thick layer of snow, with only the two arched windows on the top floor exposed, and everything else was frozen into ice, as if time and space had been frozen.

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

The sobbing stopped abruptly. Javier, like the rest of the audience, couldn't help but lean forward, following in the footsteps of Jack and the others into the library that had evolved into an Eskimo igloo, searching for signs of life. Desperate steps wandered through the ice and snow, empty footsteps could not awaken the slightest sign of life, and the sight was completely white. Boundless white, nothing else. The six of them staggered through the empty library, each step curtailing a glimmer of hope, pathetic and cruel.

Finally, I finally saw a trace of orange red coming out from under a white ice door, and when I walked in front of me, the footsteps of Jack and the others froze, and they didn't dare to step out at all. Everyone else stayed where they were, except for Jack, who struggled to step away. Walked up step by step, and then pushed open the door, the whole igloo dyed orange red appeared in front of him, Jack looked at the trembling figures in front of him, as if everyone had lost signs of life, Jack restrained his trembling wrists, and used a flashlight to look for the past one by one, trying to find Sam's figure. Finally stopped by the fireplace.

Lauren woke up from the light of the flashlight, "Who's that?" โ€

Sam looked into Jack's stunned eyes. He smiled and whispered, "My father." โ€

At this moment, Javier's warm eyes finally couldn't bear the weight anymore, and hot tears slipped down like this. The wolf bรจi of that moment made Javier lower his head, and then wiped the tears from his eyes. In the back of his eye, he saw that Joshua seemed to have his head twisted away.

Immediately afterward, the call of life came from the library, and the parents finally met their children again. The joy of the reunion was unexpected, and when Brian learned the news of his father's death, his bewildered look made the joy heavy. Sam left his father's arms. walked over to Brian's side and gently patted him on the shoulder; Then, Lauren and J.D. also came over one after another.

At this moment, they are all children who have survived.

The catastrophe is over, but the catastrophe of the whole world has just begun. The U.S. president was tragically killed in a blizzard, and the vice president, who had not paid enough attention to the greenhouse effect, had to become interim president and take over the task of rebuilding. For years, we thought that we could squander resources recklessly, and we were wrong. I was wrong! โ€

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 to seek help; Not only New York, but also the North have many more survivors, waiting on top of the vast ice fields...... Freshman.

The forces of nature cannot be stopped, and human beings are so small; But in the face of nature, human tenacity and firmness have never bowed their heads.

When the movie ended, Javier let out a long breath, the muscles of his body relaxed, and he slumped in his chair, relieving the tension that had been tense for a hundred and twenty minutes, but Javier didn't feel tired at all, and the joy of the rest of his life, and the hope after the end of the world, slowly flowed in his blood.

Not just Javier, it seemed that everyone in the entire screening room relaxed, without much sound, just relaxing their tense muscles in their chairs, and the luck of the aftermath of the catastrophe was stirring fiercely in their chests, not cheering, not yelling, just smiling, and relaxing.

Suddenly, Havel had the idea that the end of the world was not terrible, because as long as human beings were willing to unite, as long as the affection, friendship and love in their hearts would not be extinguished, they could always find a way out; What is truly terrible is always human beings themselves: blindness, pride, arrogance, arrogance...... There is also interest.

This feeling of hope calmed the restlessness in Javier's heart, and he could feel that the script of "The Day After Tomorrow" was all-encompassing, and it ridiculed the problem of Mexican immigration, especially the current situation of Hispanic existence, which was mentioned several times, which also echoed Lance's previous focus on the "City of God"; Then he ridiculed the government's inaction, which not only mocked the tax policy, but also hinted at the government's stupidity and selfishness in the Iraq war; There was also a caricature of the role of opinion leaders in the media......

It can be seen that "The Day After Tomorrow" is not just a commercial film, and the simple story is placed in the context of the end of the world - especially because of the selfishness of human beings, which leads to the end of the world, which raises a series of questions. Lance hints in the script, although the space is limited and it is told in a playful way, but it is undeniable that it still brings some food for thought after the movie.

This is indeed rare for commercial films. But the most important core idea is still family, friendship, love as the benchmark unity, only true unity hand in hand, human beings can find a way to survive in the disaster of nature. Invisibly, it once again fits with the theme of "take them home", which sublimates the whole story.

"How does it feel?" Joshua's voice was heard beside him.

Javier turned to look at Joshua, thought about it for a moment, and nodded, "I love it!" After finishing speaking, I looked at the subtitles on the big screen and slowly climbed up, at this time, the audience behind them stood up one after another, and gave applause and whistles one after another, although it was not neat, but you could clearly feel the cheerful atmosphere of the audience. Javier stood up and gave the film a round of applause, then looked at Joshua again and affirmed, "I love it!" โ€

Joshua smiled, he didn't answer Javier, just stood up, joined in the applause, and then turned his head 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, and scattered applause was mixed with joyful whistles and cheers, which seemed very lively. This is not a film festival, and "the day after tomorrow" is not an art film, this is just the premiere of a commercial film, and the happy smiles and happy expressions on the faces of the audience are the greatest praise for the film.

Joshua looked back at the boiling scene and couldn't help but tapped his chin slightly.

The first half of the movie is undoubtedly successful, and after the main line of the second half of the movie is concentrated, I feel that the script is a little thin, but the rhythm control is still exciting, especially the double line at the same time for the high/tide control, the disaster is set up one after another, and the difficulty is higher than the wave, and finally reaches its peak when the eye of the wind sweeps in, which is wonderful and exciting, almost pushing the adrenaline rush to the extreme. Simple and crude, but undeniably attractive.

Especially for the creation of the atmosphere, there is despair in the tension, and there is firmness in the despair, so that the whole viewing process will almost forget even breathing, and can only be driven forward by the movie. It reminded Joshua of the atmosphere of "City of God", and the skill with which it almost felt that this was just Lance's second film.

If you want to pick a thorn in the bones, the spiritual core of the movie is obviously too weak, the story is too simple, and many parts can be added with some more details and dig deeper...... However, as a commercial film, Joshua believes that this is undoubtedly a success, popcorn is popcorn, and it is redundant to ask for popcorn to taste aftertaste.

So, Joshua looked ahead again, found Lance in the camp of the main creators, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, he was already looking forward to Lance's next movie.

Jessica Alba couldn't help but stand up, following the audience with her hands and her heart surging, although she participated in the production of the whole film, but when she really saw the effect on the big screen, she couldn't help but feel excited, and it was hard to imagine that this was the result of their busy months in Montreal.

She turned her head to look in Lance's direction, but what caught her eye was the miseared conversation between Lance and Kayla, which made Jessica's heart contract and freeze in place for a moment. (To be continued.) )
