2012/2012

Like the director's last movie, the Day after Tomorrow, this one showed the audience how the nature's destroy could be and yet how the human being could survive after such a disaster.

The plot may be kinds of a cliche: a breaking family united during the disaster because they feel the love from one another. Nothing surprising, yet still warm.

As a Chinese guy, I of course paid much attention to how the director showed us his design of Chinese. Well, I have to say, the conditions of the China in the movie was just the mirror of the real world: Chinese people were discipline, strong at manufacturing, skillful, but politically silent, did not know how to sell themselves, and actually there was still a large gap between the eastern and the western. The lack of understanding to the other side may be one of the most common points shared by each other.
