2012 Movie Analysis
2012

Summary
The movie starts with the surface of the sun, where giant solar flares erupt into giant question marks, setting the ominous mood as we scan across the universe to all the planets aligning for the first time in 640,000 years The global destruction of the movie is based on the "Earth's Crust Displacement Theory" and in the movie; it's stated that neutrinos are bursting within the Earth's core, causing the crusts to be rapidly displaced. The neutrino explosion is in turn supposedly caused by the peaking of the solar flares in the Sun. In 2010, international leaders begin a massive, secret project intended to ensure humanity's survival, by building futuristic arks designed to hold 400,000 people. Additional funding for the project is raised by selling tickets to the private sector for 1 billion per person, effectively cutting off the chances of majority of people to survive. By 2011 they start to secretly move humanity's valuable treasures under the guise of protecting them from terrorist attacks, such as the Mona Lisa, to save humanity's history as well. The Mesoamerican Long Count Calendar, or the Mayan Calendar, is referenced in the movie. Earthquakes of intensified magnitudes wreak havoc all over the globe as a result of crust displacement. Huge buildings are destroyed, bridges are split in two, major cities are literally broken in pieces. Yellowstone Caldera, a volcano in the USA, erupts, sending massive igneous stones skyrocketing in the air, resembling meteors and asteroids. A mega tsunami destroys several key cities, including Washington, D.C., which kills the president of the United States. The arks save the people who luckily got in. The water levels recede, new lives are beginning and a new civilization and world order is created.
Reaction
2012 is a visual treat. Rarely has so many familiar monuments crumbled so splendidly as in this movie. The scale of destruction is truly epic, with LA cracking along fault lines and sliding into the

    In the movie Django Unchained there are moments in which still occur in modern times unfortunately. It’s about a slave named Django who partners up with a German bounty hunter, as the story goes on African American slaves were tortured, killed, and in my eyes treated like they weren’t even humans. I believe in modern society some things like this happen still. For instance, I support our police department no doubt, but just in this year we have had some bad cops kill African American people. In my eyes, some of them were still committing minor crimes and the police took it to far by abusing and sometimes killing the suspect. Taking their authority and force to far, but i’m not stating all Police officers are bad because they aren’t. It relates…

    “That’s the same building which was blown up in Independence day!”, just a whole lot bigger, dumber and stupider than the “boringly straight-faced” Olyumpus Has Fallen. Roland Emmerich has wrecked the world more than any other director, with aliens in Godzilla and continent-killing in 2012, it’s not surprising that he death-raid’s the White House again in this latest film “White House Down”. However, don’t get too excited about the “hottest flick on the block” (critic) because I was extremely disappointed with this newest ‘apocalyptic’ film. Maybe it’s time to give up deconstructing the world Roland Emmerich, because you surely didn’t do a good job in this elongated, cliché-riddled and unrealistic film.…

    In her film 13th, Ava DuVernay details the injustice of mass incarcerations and violence perpetuated by the Criminal Justice system of the United States. In her documentary, she sets the tone with a staggering statistic: a country with five percent of the world’s population hold twenty-five percent of all of the world’s prisoners. DuVernay creates a timeline to show the linear progression of African American’s movement into mass incarceration. DuVernay does this by starting at the end of slavery when black men and women were supposed to be made free. According to Khalil Muhammad, this left 4 million who were formerly slaves and an integral part of the southern economy free. In order to maintain the southern economy, the United…

    The documentary was made in 1994 shortly after the January 17, 1994 Northridge Earthquake that took place just north of downtown Los Angeles. In the Northridge Earthquake 70 people were killed, 9,000 were injured, and 20 billion dollars in damage was done. The epicenter of the earthquake occurred on the Northridge Fault, which geologists did not even know existed before the quake because it was the work of a blind thrust-fault. There was no rupture in the Earth's crust, but yet the 35 seconds of shaking managed to cause freeways, buildings, and power-lines to collapse. The film shows visuals of the tremendous damage, and left the residents of the region wondering if that was "The Big One".…

    13th Movie Analysis

    The documentary 13th, was an eye opening experience. It was a film in which it displayed issues of violence, crime, and race. In particular, I found it very interesting how the documentary stigmatized black men as violent individuals. How did they come up with this stigmatization? Was it based off of past historical events such as slavery and segregation? Anyone can be considered violent. Someone's race doesn’t define whether or not they are violent; it is an individual’s actions that determines whether they are considered a violent individual or not. Also, I found it very interesting how the amount of arrests increased each year due to the drug war. I didn’t realize that drugs were a huge issue in our country. I thought the biggest issue…

    Fed Up Movie Analysis

    • 603 Words
    • 3 Pages

    The film “Fed Up”, produced by Katie Couric and Laurie David, was an interesting and informative film about the dangers of sugar consumption and its contribution to obesity. The strengths of the film were that they gave examples of two major changes that the food industry made to try and save themselves instead of putting the people’s best interest first. Therefore, the American Academy of Family Physicians teamed up with coca cola to say that soft drinks had nothing to do with obesity, when science showed otherwise, while 20 doctors that helped make up the association publicly resigned. Then came the McGovern report in 1977 that issued the first dietary goals, stating that the American diet was overly rich in fatty meats, rich in saturated fats and cholesterol, and rich in sugar,…

    To give the film some credit, we will first address what was portrayed accurately. In the opening scene a young woman is driving on a winding hillside road, when she gets taken out by a rockslide. This is portrayed accurately, yet the size and force would have done much more damage to the vehicle. As the film progresses, the geologist states that the earthquakes were triggered by other earthquakes in Nevada, this is accurate…
