How many times can New York be bombed?

Well, in fact, the title has nothing to do with what I want to write. I'm just curious why every time this kind of movie puts the scene in New York and Manhattan. Was it hot because the Statue of Liberty was smashed?

In fact, the first reaction to watching this film was those buddies who recorded the Sichuan earthquake. When everyone was running downstairs, they were thinking about taking a video and uploading it to the Internet, um, they are all awesome. When they saw the crowd gathered downstairs from the window, they didn't know if they were afraid or how they thought about their actions when they saw the death figure of nearly 70k.

The protagonists of this film have no chance to think about it.

Recently, a strong apocalyptic plot suddenly appeared in me. Cloverfield's first-view shooting method made me believe that, in fact, everything will happen naturally. When I called my friend to verify the earthquake in a joking mood, I didn’t expect the consequences. When those buddies in Sichuan got under the table and took DV filming, they never thought they might die. It’s just a comparison of the protagonists of Cloverfield. Unlucky. Harder took the DV to shoot all the way, from the beginning of playing, feeling the shock, to the death of friends one by one, until it was his turn. Everything happened so naturally. Naturally, Harder didn’t have time to think about why she kept shooting. Marina didn’t understand why she would run back with Rob, who was unfamiliar, to save his girlfriend, and why she tried to save her she didn’t even know. Harder killed himself. Everything happened so naturally, calmer than imagined, without the opportunity to think more, everything is over.

Cloverfield dropped the mystery, but the director didn't plan to solve it. In fact, it doesn't matter, just follow the shaky DV lens and watch it all the way. All you need to know is what will happen to "me" in the next second. others? "I have no idea.

Fortunately, this film is still very similar to the end times I imagined. Nothing great or insignificant. Lili told Rob that we would go, and the teachers pressed the children under her body, or when a fan and a husband escaped alone, there was no chance to think more, Lili just missed me He is my friend and I want to follow. If you really tell her that she can't live if she goes, I think she is probably not that great.

The Statue of Liberty was headshot, and when the head fell to the ground, a group of people took photos with their mobile phones; a group of women ran barefoot without forgetting to hold high heels; Rob suddenly needed to answer his mother's phone and tell her when her brother was dead , He suddenly understood: his brother is dead.

This is the end of the world.

There is no Ultraman, no superman, no hero, only fear and despair, and human beings face the powerlessness and helpless calmness in all this.

    The greatest disaster film ever made. Fucking unbelievable. How much reminds me of the elephant.

    In fact, the filming is okay, applying the pseudo-documentary form to the model of disaster monster film, but the shortcomings of handheld DV shooting are also exposed. 1. The camera shakes make people feel sick, and the advantage is that the audience can be immersed in the first-person perspective. Immediately assume the role subjectively. 2. The male lead is very unpleasant! I have explained that a lot of rich second-generation people spend time and drink, and friends who slept and forcefully became true love. For the so-called true love, regardless of the safety of family parents and friends around, they went to the most dangerous place to die, and they forced their lives under the aura of the protagonist. Let all the teammates take the dog. 3. A 70-minute feature film with 10 minutes of subtitles, you are a great director! Irrigation is not so fun! Thought there was an easter egg at the end. 4. A huge beast with a height of several hundred meters would actually lower its head and kill a person more than one meter tall? This is as unreliable as an ordinary person would lower his head to bite an ant!
