The courage to see humanity in times of disaster

I like this movie. First of all, the actor is Tommy Lee Jones, the old star. Second, this movie shows the glory of human nature. Third, from his box office, it really sucks, but if you don’t know the information to interfere, this is really a good movie. The compact plot, the combination of the old handsome guy and the beautiful girl, are all very good highlights. There are comments that its visual effects are fake, but from the time of the day, it was actually very good. Some critics say that the plot is rigid, like a textbook. In fact, this is an earlier disaster movie. This movie can make people hold their urine to the end. The film everywhere reflects the preciousness of human life when a catastrophe comes, and at that time people resist natural disasters together, work together to save the dead and heal the wounded. In particular, the leader of the subway rescue team carried the wounded on his back, stepped on lava, melted himself, and saved others. And almost all people can face the disaster together. This may be the best embodiment of the American spirit. At the same time, it embodies the power of faith. At the moment of sacrificing himself and perfecting others, the hero keeps reading the Bible. The power of faith is so powerful. In the choice of life, good faith can save the world, and good faith can make people good. Therefore, when religion and materialism conflict, there may not be right or wrong, it's just a different starting point.

    The classic trilogy of American catastrophe blockbusters: No one is paying attention before the disaster, extreme panic when the disaster breaks out, and a concerted effort to defeat the disaster.

  • Amy: [calling Roark on his phone] How fast can you get to the corner of Wilshire and Western, we have a problem.

    Roark: No, no. Not anymore. We have it stopped.

    Amy: The volume of ash is too high to think that we're out of danger.

    Roark: So, why did it just stop?

    Amy: Well, maybe it didn't, maybe it went someplace else.

    Roark: So, how do you know it didn't stop?

    Amy: I don't. But what I do know is when Mount Saint Helens blew, the force was twenty seven thousand times greater then that of the Hiroshima bomb. Do you think that vent released anywhere NEAR that amount of energy yet?

    Roark: No.

    Amy: Well, lets just assume that we haven't seen the real bulk of the magma yet. Trust me, get down here.

    [hangs up the phone]

    Amy: Shit.
