Movie Review
The movie was about what would happen on December 21, 2012? The movie portrays all the lives that exist on earth are in serious danger. These are some of the questions got birth from the movie 2012. The movie 2012 is American science fiction but disaster film released on November 13, 2009. 2012 was directed by Roland Emmerich. The movie has more than 10 million views until producing this document.
There can be found many hidden symbolic elements in the movie. It can be said that the movie is based on the prediction of the Mayans, that is, "We're gonna die in 2012" means the destruction of everyone and everything. There can be found scientific reasoning behind the explanation and analysis of the movie. The movie started with a cosmic event that triggered the cataclysm which is a large-scale destructive event. A few scientists and American geologists, like Adrian Helmsley, predicted that the end of this world is very near due to the rapid rise in the temperature. The movie also showed in parallel to take necessary action for dealing with such a scenario, the ruling elite of the world is secretly planning on rescue operations for themselves only for years. When the elite found the seriousness of that deadly end, the elite members got the message written ‘Start Boarding Procedure’. This message began the boarding of all elites on the Ark leaving the whole world die miserly.
The main point to highlight is the role of Charlie Frost, played by Woody Harrelson. He played the role of a crazed but smart radio presenter who lived in Yellowstone National Park. He predicted that the world was going to end on 21st December 2012. He kept himself behind Yellowstone just to live to cover the eruption but unfortunately, he got himself killed in result of that volcano eruption counting him one of the casualties in Yellowstone. The madness and joy on his face after witnessing his prediction getting true at the time of volcano eruption is quite amazing.
The significant role of John Cusack revolves around the struggle to find a way out of that destruction. He tried his hard to approach Charlie Frost and to get a map from him which depicted the new world order based on the predictions. After struggling hard with his family including his daughter, he got the map and succeeded to join the Ark made for elite’s rescue.
The destruction started out by volcano eruption which led to propagating Tsunami causing death to many lives. The symbol of US power, The White House, can be seen drowning by a gigantic wave. In such a destructive situation, US President Thomas Wilson, played by Danny Grove, addressed the nation in a very disappointing way as he was witnessing the death and destruction all over the world. It is also worth to highlight that he was not included in the lists of those elite members who were planning and boarding on the Ark for their lives which indicates the most democratically elected representative of US public got no place among the new world of the elite.
The computerized special effects, graphics, stunning animations showing the destruction is quite amazing. The effects of the volcano eruption, high rising waves, destruction of the Himalayas and other mountains, and pity destruction done to the bridges and roads truly picturized day of destruction. The movie clearly expressed the lifestyle of the common man, middle man, elite members, and the president as well. The costumes suggested and designed were truly based on their lifestyle. The getup suggested to Charlie Frost was very matching among all as one can depict from his appearance that he is a radio presenter with crazing interest in prediction about the future of the world.
When the disaster occurred, the new era of the new world began and the calendar got reset to the year 0001. It is important to say that the resetting of the new calendar significantly shows that Christ's era is over. At the end of the movie, the whole world can be seen flooded by water keeping the African Continent out of it. This shows that the end of Christ's era gives birth to the Age of Aquarius. In conclusion, it can be said that efforts made by scientists, institutions, geologists and other responsible institutions, the questions arises ‘Are humans ready to face a major crisis in correspondence to New World Order'? And one can get it from the promotional poster of the movie which stated: “We Were Warned”.
