Viewing Blog Set 1 "Deep Impact"

   Deep Impact where Earth is doomed to be destroyed by a comet, unless someone stops it (IMDb). This movie came out around 1998 (Mimi Leder) and is 2 hours long. This movie might be old but fits perfectly in the Sci-Fi era that we have spoken and read about in class. This movie can show how people that are in higher authority get the first pick to being able to find shelter and being taken care of during a major crisis.  After they think that the astronauts have failed their mission to destroy the comet, the President of the United States, “declares Marshall Law” (Morgan Freeman). Imagine being one of the people that gets chosen for the lottery that they have commenced to live under ground for 2 years, but there is a price not everyone can go only a million people and that excludes anyone over the age of 50. This means that your grandparents or even your parents if they are of that age would not have the opportunity to live through this horrendous time. As always chaos comes about and it seems that all is doomed. There is tear-jerking moments and there is intense ones as well. I like how the movie shows each characters reactions and all they go through in those devastating moments. As we go towards the end of the movie hope becomes available and heroes come to the rescue as which is one of the tropes we talk about in class, there is always a hero/heroes to conquer the day and save us all, well in this case most of us. I do not want to give anymore spoilers away so here is a trailer of the movie, I hope if you have not seen it, go check it out you might like it.
