The end of the world ..

Who knows? The end of the world maybe is coming soon, in December.

In class, we studied this theme in first with The Road (text and trailer): an epic journey in the future with a father and his son, they are terrified, they have to hide for survive.

   

After, we have seen report about VIVOS survival bunkers, a shelter located not far from Los Angeles who dated to The Cold War, looks like a luxury boat and very expensive.

A growing number of Americans are preparing for the end of the world as we know it. They believe the end is near and so they are preparing buying bunkers properties with high tech amenities.

Then, we have worked of three movies: War of the World (1953) by Byron Askin during the Cold War, War of the World (2005) by Steven Spielberg after 9/11. Like The Road, there is an apocalyptic description, a pessimistic vision of the future with aliens invasions ( a metaphor of USSR or terrorism). And the third, Mars Attacks (1996) by Tim Burton who encourages us to take the matter too seriously, he exagerate things with humor. It's a parody but is denounce something like Orson Welles (1938) who shows the War of the Worlds like a mass manipulation.

Sometimes,the informations are not real and we do not believe anything.               Be careful !
