What Can We See From the Movie: T he Day After Tomorrow This term, I saw the movie The day after tomorrow in English classes, actually, it is the second time that I saw this movie.

This is a disaster movie, kind of a blockbuster. It describes an awful catastrophe that was caused by human beings themselves. Because mankind’s activities led to the global temperature to go up constantly, which is known as ‘global warming’nowadays in real life, the ever giant ice in polar regions melted and was released into the sea in the form of water, which broke the initial balance between fresh water and salt water. As a result, human beings was attacked by the cold ocean current resulting from the imbalance of water, and we mankind went into a ice age.

Frankly speaking, leave the reasonability behind, I myself has seen a lot from the movie, some of which may be what the writer or director want to convey and I would like to share it with you.

To begin with, there is no denying that it aroused the consciousness of environment protection among viewers. As we know, nowadays the global warming has become a serious problem which entails our mutual concentration and efforts to tackle it. In the movie, we can see that the natural power just devastated everything that it went through, houses , landmarks, living creatures with mankind no exception. In order to avoid this kind of disaster, we need to be aware of the balance of eco-system. Furthermore, we need to take actions to make a contribution. Not only for ourselves, but also for our offspring. Just as the saying goes: we didn’t inherit the earth from our ancestor, instead we borrowed it from our descendants.

Secondly, the movie just reminded how unpredictable the future is. In the movie, it was only several days after the one of the main role, the paleoclimatologist, Jack Hall predicted the likely result of the ongoing temperature that the nightmare really happened. I think nobody including Jack hadn’t expected the disaster to come so quickly. What’s more, we human beings are just so fragile in the face of disaster. From the movie, we can vividly notice that we can almost do nothing but to submit to the subversive power of nature. So cherish what we own today and lead a happy and meaningful life, you never know what will happen tomorrow, but what you can choose is to keep a peaceful and positive mind and never waste your limited time. As someone once put it: If tomorrow is the end of the world, I will still plant roses in my garden today.

Thirdly, I want to say that we should always possess hope in our heart. In the movie, when Jack and his colleague were on the way to rescuing his son, the colleague asked if Jack thought they could survive the ice age, Jack replied: mankind survived the last ice age, we can also survive this time. But we need to learn a lesson from it. I think keeping hopeful must be one reason that we can survive catastrophes and continue our civilization. Also, the unity counts when faced with disasters. It is with unity that Sam and other people in the library finally hold out until being rescued.

In addition, there are many other aspects that can’t be left out. When people in the library started to go out in groups, Sam asked them not to do so because if they
