Little Film Critic-"Burning Skyscrapers"

This is naturally a well-known disaster film in the history of American cinema. The cast is led by Paul Newman, which can also be described as a collection of stars. As an old film more than 30 years ago, it is not clear what the special effect of the fire scene is. However, judging from the posters and stills, it seems quite bold. Of course, I have to say it again. In that era when special effects were not the main focus, large-scale disaster and action movies seemed to focus more on script writing and actors’ characterization of characters, and the director’s shooting methods were not similar. Nowadays, the younger generations are eager for quick success and quick profit, which is flashy and unrealistic. When we have become accustomed to the visual bombardment of Hollywood blockbusters, the solid style of old movies seems to be commendable. Even if the rhythm may be slow and the special effects may be unsatisfactory, it is all time to hide. Just like the comparison between the new and the old version of Poseidon, the feelings of most moviegoers prove that technology and consciousness are more important.

At this point, I can't help but think of one thing, why doesn't Hollywood have a plan to remake this classic disaster film? Of course, that's just a question. It's okay if you don't remake it, otherwise, you should probably end up like the new Poseidon. The former was boarded at the box office and killed, while the latter would not escape the collapse of the house. This is a family statement, don't take it seriously!

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?
