The film follows a family who must fight for survival as a planet-destroying

<p>If you have some American friend that keeps asking "Why the world doesn't like
|
||
|
|
America?", you can ask them to watch this movie and learn.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The movie is, basically, "<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_(film)">2012</a>"
|
||
|
|
upside-down: Instead of destruction coming from the centre of the Earth itself,
|
||
|
|
it's coming from space. But, for some reason, governments built some sort of arc
|
||
|
|
to save people -- selected people. And our hero was selected, even when his
|
||
|
|
family have health issues -- his kid has diabetes and, thus, shouldn't be
|
||
|
|
selected, as only healthy families can join the "arc". In a way, it makes sense,
|
||
|
|
you don't want to spend energy and food with people that could die any moment if
|
||
|
|
you want to save the human race, right?</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>So far, no reason to dislike the United States, right?</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>But then, you have this amazing line, told by a newscaster: "Meteors are falling
|
||
|
|
all over the planet! This could be the end of this great nation."</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>HOLD YOUR FREAKING HORSES! Meteors are falling everywhere, <em>all around the
|
||
|
|
planet</em> but they are worried about the <em>great nation</em>? Fuck your entitlement.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>But that's not enough. Surely Gerard Butler does nothing to hide his accent and,
|
||
|
|
while hitchhiking on a truck on the way to his father-in-law house, marked as
|
||
|
|
the reunion place after he got separated from his wife and kid, he mentions he
|
||
|
|
was called to another fellow hitchhiker, but couldn't board. And then, another
|
||
|
|
guy in the same truck notices this and asks "But should the government give
|
||
|
|
space for people like you?" (or something around those lines). "America is for
|
||
|
|
Americans!" Fight insures and some friendly black guy is killed, 'cause of
|
||
|
|
course the black person has to die. All for the good of the <em>great nation</em>.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Not enough? Ok, let me give you the kicker: The arc is actually a subterranean
|
||
|
|
base built on... GREENLAND! It's not even in freaking United States, the <em>great
|
||
|
|
nation</em> had to build their safe <em>somewhere else</em>!</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Also, being the hero and such, Gerard Butler and his family finally reach
|
||
|
|
Greenland and find the base and they are took without a peep. Why would you
|
||
|
|
accept people coming from everywhere, with no checks, if you were refusing sick
|
||
|
|
people <em>in the first place</em>?</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>I'm pretty sure the general plot is pretty awesome idea -- even if it feels a
|
||
|
|
bit like <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_Impact_(film)">Deep Impact</a> -- but
|
||
|
|
it seems if focused too much into one piece of the planet. Heck, even <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Core">The
|
||
|
|
Core</a> managed to show the whole world
|
||
|
|
being destroyed.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>PS: By the words here, it may seem that I want to destroy MURRICA or
|
||
|
|
whatever. That's not the point; thing is, sometimes the way USA is presented
|
||
|
|
around the world may give this feeling of "they feel superior", but I'm pretty
|
||
|
|
sure only Fox News would report the "dead of our great nation", but everyone
|
||
|
|
else would report the global problem as a global problem and the heckneck that
|
||
|
|
hates anyone not-American is part of a very small portion of the Americans. And
|
||
|
|
to light the mood: "I don't hate Americans, I have friends that are!"</p>
