1、An Analysis to Some Movies Linked With Disaster英语0805班 帅凌 08050523Disaster films based on the human catastrophe caused by the natural disasters. General rendering thrilling disaster, to stimulate the audiences fear, and some performance out of the way to disaster and defeat or avoid the disaster of

One major character, several minor characters, and scores of extras typically
3、 die before the story is resolved.The disaster film genre revived, briefly, in the mid-1990sperhaps because new special effects techniques made more spectacular disasters possible. The first film in this new trend was the 1996 Michael Crichton-penned film Twister, followed in the same year by Indepe
4、ndence Day merged a science fiction alien invasion plot from the 1950s with disaster film conventions (most notably, from Earthquake). Also in 1997 the epic James Cameron film Titanic was released, which combined the disaster genre in the sinking of the ship and the romance genre with the relationsh
5、ip between the main characters. Disaster films have reappeared periodically in the 21st century. In 2003, The Core featured a disaster resulting from the stalling of Earths core, while in 2004, The Day After Tomorrow built upon fear of global warming and climate change with an unlikely assortment of
6、 disasters, perhaps setting a record for the most disasters in a single film. The Perfect StormSo when it comes to the Disaster Movies,which films will you think of?Someone will say Titanic without doubt.But in my opinion,Titanic is a romantic film more than a disaster movie.So How about The Perfect
7、 Storm?It is so much like the Titanic in some plots and It is a 2000 dramatic disaster film directed by Wolfgang Petersen,and an adaptation of the non-fiction book of the same title by Sebastian Junger about a fishing ship met a scarely storm in the northern Pacific Ocean,and the crew leaded by the
8、Captain Billy Tyne tenaciously fight with the storm. The thing that really irks me is that I had read that it was a disaster film (and its made pretty much clear in the title), but the actual disaster didnt get started for a whole forty minutes, which almost brought me to the point of thinking that
9、Perfect Storm was some kind of metaphor. Different from other disaster films, The Perfect Storm didnt leave any single survivor in the end. May be its the real situation at that time, but I tend to believe that the director planned such a tragic ending elaborately, with an intention to tell people a
10、 cruel truth- the power of the nature is so great that we humankind cannot always be the winner. Not everybody can become a hero; even the brilliant skip in the film is powerless in the face of such a perfect storm. A strong sense of pride has grown and developed in our mind through the fertilizer o
11、f many heroic stories and those Hollywood movies, repeatedly convincing us that man can conquer nature. But in fact, human is just like a drop in the bucket when facing the nature. This is the truth, while few people are willing to accept it. However, here comes another question, whats the hell of t
12、he meaning of this film? Does it exist just because it wants to reveal the cruelty of the life and let people feel unacceptable? The answer is absolutely no. Though the film told us a catastrophe, the spirit and quality which the characters showed in the process of fighting with the catastrophe is s
13、o magnificent that it even outshined the storm itself, leaving more shock in the audiences hearts than the storm. For one thing I should mention the crew of the ship. Theyve already heard about the fact that the Flemish Cap has a lot of weather, but because there also has a lot of fish, and because
14、they were courageous enough to meet some difficulties, they made the decision to go there and have a tough fight. During that fight I am deeply impressed by a scene-when Murphy dropped the water carelessly, the first one to jump off is, surprisingly, Sully, the man who has a lot of offense with him.
15、 Such kind of personal loyalty and magnanimity really knocked me over, and I can see something shining on those average people. And when the 6 guys were eventually dying in the attack of the storm, they did not complain about each other, instead, they comforted each other. It well illustrated the be
16、auty of the humanity, showing us the virtue of composure and consideration. For another thing I would like to say is about those rescuers. So far I still remember the saying” We dont lose anybody” which was said by them when they come up from the water. It was such a simple sentence, and such a big strike on me. Their group consciousness, their sense of responsibility and their never-give-up will is so valuable. Although their physical bodies were gone, their
