abyss
Nietzsche said that well-known saying in The Other Side of Good and Evil: If you fight with dragons for too long, you will become dragons yourself; If you stare at the abyss for too long, the abyss will stare back at you. James Cameron used this movie to tell you that behind the unavoidable abyss, there may be a rare and undisturbed peace scene.
An unexpected accident, a desperate sinking, the underwater world showed an unexpected gentleness in front of this dead man. The purple light and shadow make people feel calm and enlightening, and the mysterious deep-sea creatures are friendly with a hint of mischief. The winding underwater city slowly appeared in front of us. The residents of this wonderful city are really friendly aliens. The abyss is no longer an unknown fear, but represents the limit of beauty and potential that human beings have never set foot in.
In addition to showing the brilliance of human nature and the third kind of intimate contact, Cameron, as a technical madman, also made this film a milestone in the history of movies at the technical level. As a film started on 1988, Cameron used unprecedented shooting skills and computer special effects in a nuclear reactor in South Carolina to produce lifelike underwater creatures and deformation effects, announcing to the whole film circle that special effects can become an independent and important movie vocabulary, and expressing his needs with extremely advanced and perfect technical means.
Because of its advance, the film's box office was bleak after its release, and its reputation was damaged by commercial failure. Because of its advance, looking back today will only make you amazing again and again. At the same time, it also planted seeds for many masterpieces: behind the deformed water column in the film, the special effects genes of Terminator and Titanic are hidden.

Waterworld
The concept of "global warming" has been popular for many years before the record of high temperature has been constantly refreshed and the exaggerated reports of hot summer in various places have become a midsummer scene, and there has never been a shortage of admonishers who are deeply worried about it. Director kevin reynolds is one of them.
The Water World in the Future, directed by him, depicts the last scene in the mid-20th century: the glaciers in the North and South poles melted, the sea level rose sharply, the land was completely submerged, the earth became a "mercury", civilization regressed, and people floated on artificial islands, struggling to survive. The once insignificant fresh water and soil have become rare things and become the standard of resources and power in the new world.
