Hello everyone - movies can get inspiration from anywhere, including true stories. There are many film genres that can be watched for family entertain
ment. From cartoons, horror, fiction, and about disasters. The theme of natural disasters usually tells about cities that are destroyed and how the characters survive to live. This can be taken for real life, the positive side of the film such as patience, perseverance, trying, and praying.
Movies about natural disasters are also quite attractive to many people because they are quite tense and horrifying. Even sad because the character is able to arouse the emotions of the audience. Here I will review 2 films that I have watched with the theme of the tsunami disaster and global climate changes.
THE IMPOSIBLE
The tsunami disaster that occurred on December 26, 2004 was then appointed in a film entitled The Impossible. The amount of material losses and casualties that have fallen has made this disaster still make an impression on the minds of many people. The 2012 film The Impossible seeks to portray the horror of the tsunami that hit countries in the Indian Ocean and killed more than 230,000 people.
Thriller genre film is directed by Juan Antonio Bayona (The Orphanage, 2007). The Impossible tells the story of the true story of the struggle of Spanish tourist pairs, Quique Alvarez and Maria Belon, and their three children to survive all the destruction caused by the tsunami disaster. The impossible turned into a sentimental drama that continued to try to intimidate the audience with scenes that provoke a sense of sad. Well ... it still happens in some part of the story, but Bayona managed to package The Impossible into an elegant story display, so that it would be able to haunt every audience.
The Impossible begins by introducing its characters: Henry's husband and wife (Ewan McGregor) and Maria (Naomi Watts), as well as their three sons, Lucas (Tom Holland), Simon (Oaklee Pendergast) and Thomas (Samuel Oslin) Holidays that initially went smoothly then tragically disturbed by the coming of the big waves that hit the entire beach area where they vacationed. The waves then separated the family. Then the story was continued with the struggle of each family member to survive from the wounds they were as well as trying to rediscover their separate family members.
Juan Antonio Bayona seemed to want to make sure that everyone in the audience felt what it was like to be caught in the midst of the terror of a catastrophe that could claim anyone's life at any time. And he succeeded !, With such a classy quality of production system, the moments of the tsunami were able to appear both effective and terrifying. The frenetic atmosphere in the affected area is also well described by Bayona. Together with scriptwriter Sergio G. Sánchez - who previously collaborated on The Orphanage, Bayona was able to create a calamity story that never feels exaggerated at all as dramatic as well as a line of characters who are able to easily captivate the hearts and sympathies of every audience of this film.
THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW
The Day After Tomorrow is a science fiction film adapted from the book The Coming Global Superstorm by Art Bell and Whitley Strieber. The 123-minute film was directed by Roland Emmerich, who also co-wrote the script with Jeffrey Nachmanoff. Premiered in 2004, you can now watch The Day After Tomorrow on the Netflix streaming service.
The Day After Tomorrow tells the story of the impact of pollution that causes major changes on the planet so that the world freezes over. The entertaining side of this film is a combination that produces a magnificent film, epic effects and stunning visualizations of terrible disasters and storylines about the madness that occurs in a family when a crisis occurs.
Actually this kind of story is outdated, Disney was the first to broadcast this kind of story in the 60s on television. The film's hero and villain is director and writer Emmerich himself. Emmerich created a catastrophe, like his previous action films or monsters (Independence Day, The Patriot, Godzilla) which highlighted the incredible power of visuals and rich in imagination, armed with only a script and a few characters, sometimes we ignore the story to enjoy a film. Even the audience didn't mind the story that was presented. Like The Day After Tomorrow, it depicts quite a number of effects and visuals about the carnage and destruction that really haunts your dreams. Without leaving any cuteness in it, Emmerich with his magician skills shows us Los Angeles which was devastated by the fierce tornado tore down the inscription "HOLLYWOOD", the gale over Hawaii and the blizzard that buried New Dehli.

Witnessing this film brings its own pleasure, use and abuse of excessive natural resources and atmospheric damage and ozone. A reflection of the sin of industrial and government. Chaos occurred because the world ignored his father's warning Sam, Jack Hall (Dennis Quaid) a climatologist. Jack Hall is sure there will be a melting of polar ice that will close the entire Gulf Stream and radically change the climate to about 100 years or more. Unfortunately, the warning fell into the ears of deaf people, the most deaf ears belonged to President Blake (Perry King) and his vice-president who was cunning which only concerned in business (Kenneth Welsh).
When the climate in the northern hemisphere suddenly changes, large hurricanes begin to hit parts of America and begin to spread to Mexico. Jack is faced with a very difficult task. Jack must save his son and everyone trapped in the library. In one scene they are forced to burn books in the library to warm their bodies.
