My Impressions of the Disastrous Films
I.Introduction
The Day after Tomorrow and 2012 are the science fiction films, involving the advanced digital video effects and many horrible and disastrous scenes to demonstrate the power of the nature and to make people worry about the future of environment and human beings’ existence and habitat. Indeed, the plots of these two movies are similar to each other. The Day after Tomorrow mainly tells us that Jack Hall, who is the climatologist, predicts that global warming will lead to a new ice age and he issues a warning at a New Delhi conference, hoping the American vice-president can take measures to deal with it. However, the vice-president refuses to listen to Jack and he doesn’t believe that prediction will come true. Before long, some abnormal phenomena happen in man cities. Actually, the scary disaster comes much faster than Jack has imagined before. Afterwards, tornados, floods, the snow, and the hailstones attack many cities. Then the president starts to pay attention to Jack’ suggestion and decides to evacuate residents of the north so as to save people as soon as possible. At the center of the story, Jack tries to save the world from the effects of global warming while he promises to save his son, Sam, who is trapped in New York. Finally, Jack succeeds in rescuing his son through many difficulties. In 2012, the main character, Jackson, a writer in Los Angeles, who works as a driver for the Russian billionaire Yuri, accidentally finds the big secret that the heads of government officials choose 400000 people to get on gigantic arks in order to ensure the continuity of human life when the world ends. So Jackson rents a private plane, and escapes from the disaster of destruction with his ex-wife, his son, daughter and his x-wife’ boyfriend, Gordon. The center of plot mainly tells us the process of his adventurous journey to get on gigantic ark. Eventually, a small percentage of humans survive from the disaster. Generally, these two movies show us the unusual trips and feasts for eyes and ears, which make us experience some moving scenes and learn some meaningful things.
II.we can experience the warmth of the brilliant humanity of people from these two films.
2.1 The brilliance of the deeply love.
Love is the film’s principle and eternal theme, so do these two disastrous movies. Although these two films show us the terrifying scenes during the disaster, we still see the earnest and deeply love anywhere, such as the love between parents and kids, the love between the lovers, the love between the doctor and the little cancer patient, the love between dogs and the love between the strangers. These beautiful loves fill in the films and make us deeply touched. In these two films, what impresses me is the love between Jack and his son, Sam, and the love between Jackson and his kids, Noah and Lilly. Jack and Jackson are busy in working and have no time in accompanying with their sons, so Sam and Noah misunderstand that their father don’t care about them. Actually, their fathers really love them all the time. When Sam is
trapped in New York, Jack determines to go from Washington D.C. to New York to rescue Sam through the ice sheets. In 2012 when the disaster happens, Jackson tries his best to save his son and daughter; when Jackson frees the drill and its cable from the closing mechanism, Noah works together with his father because he is afraid that he will never see his father again. Love between the fathers and kids are always impressed and valuable, if people touch it in heat of hearts.
Sincerely, love is the greatest gift on the earth and it shows in any form and in any occasions.
Love makes people great and powerful especially in the terrible situation. Because of love, people can work together to fight against the disaster. Besides, there are many moving sights which are full of love. For example, Frank chooses to die in order to save his teammates from death; the beggar gives his last sausage to his beloved dog; Laura tries his best to help the French woman and her children; Nima, a Buddhist monk helps Jackson’s family to get on ark; the American geologist Adrian convince other G8 leaders to let the remaining people on board. Altogether, these warm sights just show the brilliance of humanity, the beautiful love.
2.2 The significance of the valuable bravery.
Bravery is one of the most beautiful brilliance of humanity in the film. In these two films, most people keep brave to struggle against the disaster. The reporters are bold in reporting immediate news and message about the weather and environment. Doctor, Lucy is the only one person who has enough encourage to stay with the little cancer patient to wait the ambulance when others leave the hospital. The three scientists, who are trapped in the snow area, have nothing to choose, but to wait for death. Honestly, they are so brave and calm to confront of the disaster. Because of braver, they can face the disaster and deal with the situation calmly and optimistically. Due to the bravery, they devote themselves to their jobs with the heart and soul. Thanks to bravery, we can see many people stand fast at their posts. Therefore, bravery is one of the important key to overcoming the difficulties, conquering natural disaster and surviving. Without it, lives are lost, and dreams are destroyed. I think without bravery, people are easy to damage.
2.3 The generousness of the great sacrifice.
With the heavy heart, I find the brilliance of humanity, sacrifice, which always makes me shed tears. In the films, we can see many scientists sacrifice their personal interests so as to save the humans from the death; many daring rescuing teams make efforts to rescue others at the risk of their lives. Especially, the president in 2012 declines to get on ark but stays along with his people, making me moved deeply. What surprise me is that Yuri, who is a mean and selfish man, sacrifices his life to get his sons on board at last. Even if the disaster is terrible, and many people are eager to survive, there still are many people sacrificing their lives to save others in that they are great and disinterested in most c
III.we can draw some important and profound lessons from these two films.
3.1To value what we have possessed.
After experiencing the disaster and surviving finally, the main characters in these two
films both learn that value is very significant. At fist, they regard their jobs as the priorities, so that they don’t have enough time to stay with their family and express their love to those who they really care about. As the disaster happens, they just find out what is most important to them. When the death is coming, they just find that family is significant and they just regret not spend time on their family, their friends and their relatives. Unfortunately, the main heroes survive eventually, and they are reconciled with their family through the experiencing the disaster. It is obvious that people should better possess what they have at present, or we may have no opportunities in the future. Most people always fail to value something they have, but they often regret not to value before. They always understand the meaning of value when they lose something. So just spare some time to value some people who are important in your life and value the present as soon as possible.
3.2 To revere the nature and protect the environment.
The Day after Tomorrow and 2012 delivering the environmental message, which making people take seriously to revere the nature and protect the environment. In reality, we human always believe that we are the most senior creatures who can dominate the nature. We think we are so wise and powerful that we can deliberately and recklessly demand what we want from the nature and destroy the nature and environment as we please. Gradually, human being tries their best take advantage of any resources on the earth, and we human beings are only concentrated on the development of economy at any cost, but ignore to care about our nature and our environment. As a result, our environment is worse and worse, which threatens our habitat. Anyway, the nature is powerful, and the environment is very fragile, so we’d better revere and protect the environment. Otherwise, we will be punished by the nature the day after tomorrow and suffer a lot in the future.
Ⅳ.Conclusion
The Day after Tomorrow and 2012 are the same types of the disastrous films, in general. Personally, I like The Day after Tomorrow better. In The Day after Tomorrow, the disaster results from that people excessively exploit the natural resources on the earth, which destroys the ecological balance of the earth. Just as the vice-president say that“we are wrong, I am wrong. We are wrong to treat the environment badly.” So the reason of the disaster and the president’s word are good for people to reflect and think deeply about the nature’s power and the environmental protection. While in 2012, the disaster happens because of solar flare bombardment the Earth's core begins heating up at an unprecedented rate, eventually causing crustal displacement. Seemingly, people are just the victims of disaster. So people hardly repent their errors and they cannot aware of the consciousness of environmental protection. What’s more, comparing these two movies, I am totally affected by the The Day after Tomorrow due to its deeply and strong emotions, and I am satisfied with its ending. While, I don’t agree the result of 2012, in which only some rich people and scientists and government officials survive. In fact, many people have no any opportunities to know the fact that the big disaster will comes because everything was kept by government around the world from the
ordinary people. As far as I am concerned, all people have right to survive, whether they are rich or not. After all, everyone is equal and important. Generally speaking, I can benefit something meaningful and helpful from these two films.
篇二：后天观后感
学号：1109080118班级：水利111班 姓名：李航
《后天》中的科技伦理学
《后天》是2004年的一部美国科幻电影，描述全球暖化和全球寒冷化后所带来的灾难。该片是20世纪福克斯公司的年度科幻巨片。
已经不是第一次看这部影片了，但每次的想法都不同，这次在伦理学基础的课堂上观看，感受很不一样。
故事中，气候学家杰克·霍尔在观察史前气候研究后指出，温室效应带来的全球暖化将会引发地球空前灾难。温室效应，这个词在进入二十一世界尤其是最近几年是越来越火了，该片中心即为温室效应引发两极冰盖融化，融化产生的大量淡水将使得水温、洋流和海水成分急速转变，从而引发全球气候的剧变，地球将再次进入冰川时代。每一部美国灾难片中都要出现一个倒霉的总统，该片中的美国副总统显然是个科学盲，不但对杰克的研究结果大加驳斥，并且拒不对他的建议予以任何考虑。经济发展和工业进步是他追求的一切，如此的灾难在他的世界中根本不可能存在。结果很明了，地球不再给愚蠢的人类任何机会，美国土地上，北纬40度以南的民众尽力向赤道转移方可保命，而另一半的民众只能只能尽量保暖，等待救援，别的再没有办法了，因为时间上已经不允许40度以北的民众撤离。此后，冰层和白雪覆盖了除热带亚热带以外的北半球表面，新的冰川时代开始了。
电影说的是美国的事情，但反观中国，在这方面哪里又比美国强呢？改革开放以来，不可否认我国经济取得了举世瞩目的成就，但在追求高速度的同时，我们忽略了质量。
高污染，高耗能，高排放，没关系，只要能带动地方经济的发展，项目立刻上马！还记得前两周毛概课上学习了我国云南地区的铜业困局。以铜这些商品做的这些电线、电缆，因为它的价值高，它很容易拉动一个地区的经济发展，咱们说制造业的数据，对GDP的贡献还是会比较大的，这种项目很容易上马。
技术人员只着重于技术的研究，对自身价值提升的贡献，而忽略对环境的影响，对世界的上海，这是技术人员缺乏基本科技伦理观念的表现。掌权者，例如影片中的副总统，往往对科技缺乏足够且必要的认识，从而导致决策失误，这也是对科技的不尊重。
最后再谈一下温室效应的解决方法。为减少大气中过多的二氧化碳，一方面需要人们尽量节约用电（因为发电烧煤〕，少开汽车。另一方面保护好森林和海洋，比如不乱砍滥伐森林，不让海洋受到污染以保护浮游生物的生存。我们还可以通过植树造林，减少使用一次性方便木筷，节约纸张（造纸用木材〕，不践踏草坪等等行动来保护绿色植物，使它们多吸收二氧化碳来帮助减缓温室效应。
