People do not hesitate to choose to watch “The Day After Tomorrow,” when they cannot decide what to see. They naturally know the summer blockbuster with big-budget does not disappoint their expectations. But its original intention must not be ignored because you can be unconsciously brainwashed by their maliciously designed conspiracy. Without a single word my friend bought tickets of it on the day “The Day After Tomorrow” opened. He said that it was a safe decision. But it was actually an uncomfortable decision.

You may be concerned about the environment after seeing this film. Then, is it the global warming that Emmerich wants to say to you? Please do not expect anything about the warning of Nature from this flick. Actually “The Day After Tomorrow” is the film about the epic of the white family; The U.S., the climatologist, his wife, and her son. He just disguised their heroism with the ice storm. He already abandoned the old-fashioned heroic episode, in which superman would save the world as in Armageddon or Deep Impact, when he chose the disaster for his next film. He might know very well that another Independence Day does not sell in the middle of the international condemnation of U.S. War on Iraq.

Anyway the most uncomfortable moment in “The Day After Tomorrow” is the racial prejudice. It goes without saying that black people play discriminatory roles in the movie. Why does a street beggar have to be an African American all the time while a White American plays a role of Mother Teresa? It was traumatic especially when I watched a Japanese woman’s willingly participation in Jack’s “Saving Private Sam.” It is very valuable to mean the family in Asia while many American families have experienced their moral and structural collapses, which I certainly witnessed in “The Ice Storm.” How cannot she be worried about her mother country, for all that the ice storm is attacking Asia? Damn it, Dude! Where’s Your Country?

I just hoped that it would show viewers America’s haughty bearings, their belief that even a natural calamity can be overcome by power of capital and military. He should have released E-bomb or CBU-64 upon the ice storm like they have done, not killing the President of United States of America, which will not affect the rejection of Kyoto Protocol. Emmerich may be trying to conciliate angry Africans, Asians, and Europeans, offering an unacceptable and ridiculous proposal. But you have gone too far, Mr. Emmerich. I can’t accept your proposal.
