High-rise version of "Titanic"

The high-rise version of "Titanic" is lengthy. The idea is very good. As the avant-garde era disaster giants gathered in the 70s, the basic framework of the script is very good, but the narratives of the various lines are too average and a little boring. As a 145-minute feature film, the climax scene that came in the last 20 minutes lacked the effective emotional paving and substitution in the front. At the end, the deep-fried cistern also made people feel that there was a lack of waves. The audience watched the big scene and disaster. The human nature under the circumstances, but returned in defeat. Disaster film + bourgeoisie + human nature in adversity is easily reminiscent of "Titanic", but the film's control of these aspects is far from Cameron's ship. The director's greed and corruption against the bourgeoisie, the glitz and vanity of the upper class, the censure and criticism of the vanity and vanity of the upper class, are all diluted in the endless kisses between family and lover, and the ranting farewells; the director's towards the bourgeoisie That part of the expression is completely broken in the bad narrative of the character’s emotions, the human nature is like an off-line kite-like out-of-control narrative. I have a showdown. I'm just running for the big stars. If it weren't for so many big stars and the disaster giants on the posters, I wouldn't bother to watch it (but these big stars' opponents are not exciting enough). The director's narrative style and story rhythm failed. It also made me feel like sitting on pins and needles. Such a good subject was wasted. As mentioned earlier, this subject matter and idea are good. You can find a good narrative, a good storyteller, and an excellent director will retake the shot, so that this resource will not be wasted.

The Towering Inferno quotes

  • Doug Roberts: Hey Dunc, if that fire was caused by fluky wiring in this building, we could get fires breaking out everywhere!

  • Doug Roberts: I thought we were building something that... where people could work and live and be SAFE! If you had to cut costs, why didn't you cut floors instead of corners?

    James Duncan: Now listen. Any decisions that were made for the use of alternate building materials were made because I as a builder have a right to make those decisions; if I remain within the building code and god-dammit, I did!

    Doug Roberts: [Chuckling] Building code? Jesus. Building code. Come on, Dunc, I mean that's a standard cop-out when you're in trouble. I was crawling around up there. I mean, duct holes weren't fire-stopped! Corridors without fire doors in it, sprinklers won't work, and an electrical system that's good for what? I mean, it's good for starting fires! Hoo boy, where was I when all this was going on? Because I'm just as guilty as you and that god-damned son-in-law of yours! What do they call it when you kill people?
