Stills of the movie 20 12
But these moments are not the only bright spots. I think the reason why disaster films are good-looking is because we see the warmth and indifference, selflessness and selfishness between people in the disaster. And these humanitarian things will be vividly displayed by movies.
Of course, different movies have different themes, and their influences and reflections on disasters are also different. Only the movie scenes are discussed here.

In today's article, let's take a look at what disaster scenes in the history of movies shocked you the most!
Earthquake-Tangshan Earthquake 20 10, The Tangshan Earthquake directed by Xiaogang Feng was once the pinnacle of domestic disaster films. In this film, the film's creative team also made maximum recovery for the 1976 Tangshan earthquake.

In this movie, the earthquake took only seven minutes from the occurrence to the end, but it took tens of millions of dollars to show the real scene when the earthquake broke out.

When a reinforced concrete city collapses in a few minutes. When the earth shook, overlooking the whole land of Tangshan, there were cries, cries for help and rescues everywhere. How can this not be shocking?

Other signs before the earthquake, such as a large group of dragonflies flying over the city, the barking of chickens and dogs in the hot midnight, and the jumping of goldfish in the living room fish tank. It is also very impressive that everyone is trying to create an atmosphere before the earthquake.
Volcano eruption-the end of Pompeii On August 20th14th15th, the disaster drama "The End of Pompeii" created by Resident Evil series director paul anderson was released in Chinese mainland. In this movie, you can feel the horror of volcanic eruption through the top special effects pictures of Hollywood movies.

The story of "the end of Pompeii" took place in ancient Rome in the 4th century BC. Different from modern disaster films, the shooting process of this kind of ancient films is very complicated. It is not a simple matter to restore the ancient Roman period, and the streetscape, costumes, characteristics of the times and so on must be the ultimate.
What's more, the demand for movies has set off the atmosphere of disaster through signs such as continuous earthquakes. After the volcanic eruption, fireballs, rocks falling like rain, magma devouring everything, tsunamis and other pictures come one after another. If you are watching this 3D movie, the shock is intriguing!
Although 80% of this film is about a noble lady who falls in love with a slave gladiator, when disaster strikes, this love story will look so sad in the face of natural disasters, which together will make countless people cry!
More than 20 years ago, the sci-fi disaster film "Meteorite Catastrophe-The Great Conflict between Heaven and Earth" directed by Mimi Leder may be the first time to successfully put the reality that comets and other celestial bodies may collide with the Earth on the big screen.

Although the first half of the film used a lot of shots to show the protagonist, how to inform and prompt the government of the upcoming disaster in time is endless, which makes people impatient. However, in the second half of the film, when the meteorite hit the Atlantic Ocean from space, the tsunami triggered by it engulfed many cities, which was amazing.
The most wonderful thing about the movie Crash between Heaven and Earth is that the meteorite fell for a while, and the flames and huge waves swept half the world. It happened at that moment in the movie, as if it had been experienced once, and the heart was very shocking.

In addition, the translation of the name conflict between heaven and earth is too rough. I think it can be regarded as the most failed movie name, because the original English version of the movie was called Deep Impact, but I don't know why it was translated into the name of a bad movie.
Alien invasion-Independence Day In recent years, the scene of alien invasion is very popular with everyone. Although this kind of movie belongs to science fiction, you can imagine that there are a large number of alien spacecraft over the earth, and fierce battles will break out at any time. How can this not be scary?

Independence Day, released by 1996, depicts how alien civilization will colonize the earth step by step, both in plot setting and specific lens performance.

The film mainly tells the story of a huge alien mother ship entering Earth orbit and releasing 36 sub-spaceships with a diameter of 15 miles over major cities on Earth. At first, human beings were afraid and fearful, while some people were celebrating and reveling.
There is a vivid scene in which a group of people hold a welcome party on the top floor of the city. They called for spacecraft over the city, hoping that aliens would take them away from the earth. But the aliens ignored them and directly destroyed the city with strong light.
After all, the special effects scene of this movie is necessary, and the air combat is wonderful after all, which is worth watching by sci-fi fans.
Disaster Collection -20 12 To say the strongest disaster film, I have to mention the 20 12 directed by roland emmerich in 2009. I think it is one of the must-see disaster films.

"20 12" is the disaster film with the highest investment in history, and the production cost reached 200 million dollars. The total length of the film 158 minutes, * * using 1400 CG special effects lens. With the data here, you can imagine how wonderful it can be.
The creativity of the film comes from Mayan prophecy. In this movie, after all, the disaster began with the great earthquake in Yellowstone National Park. Here, the intensified geothermal heat caused the underground volcano in the park to erupt, and then the whole park melted and disappeared in an instant.

Then, the disaster spread rapidly from west to east, the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco cracked, the White House was swallowed up by the flood, and a worldwide disaster took shape.
Conclusion In fact, there are still many scenes in disaster films, such as The Day After Tomorrow, Titanic, Godzilla and so on, but all these films will discuss the temporary humanity of disaster reduction.
