I watched the commentary for 2012 and it was at the grocery store scene. Emmerich was talking about how the character says "I feel like something is pulling us apart" and then the earthquakes and literally pulls them apart. He said some people didn't like it but he thought it was funny so he kept it in, and that told me everything I needed to know about him.
And that's why I love all of his movies that I've seen. They guy's just doing what he likes, I can't fault him for that. Even if their trainwrecks plot wise, he manages to make the movies entertaining as heck, at least to me, and that's my priority number 1 with the media called "entertainment"
I thought that this would be important information to share, given the environment-related nature of this movie. 35% of all ocean microplastics come from clothing/textiles, mostly polyester, but also acrylic and nylon as well. This is largely due to clothes made of these materials being washed, which causes these clothes to quickly erode, with the microplastic fibers entering the water system and eventually the sea. Ocean Hero is a great search engine that we can use to help clean up larger plastics before they disintegrate into microplastics.
@@Servitor-lx1buChinese and Indian textile factories are a bigger issue. If were going to fight the unbeatable, let's start with a realistic substantial source and not beat around the bush with side projects that take insane time focus and wealth to enact
This is the film that constantly reruns on HBO. Not sure if it still does but it's incredible how much of a favorite it is for a lot of stations back in the day
I always remember the library half. Especially the part where they are deciding what books to burn, and piling up the "boring" books on GIANT OAK TABLES.
I found that really bizarre, especially since in a building like that there's bound to be tons of old, dry lumber which chances are is old enough to lack the chemicals used in modern pressured treated lumber. Books dont even always make great fuel since they burn quickly and put out a lot of smoke due to all the additives, binding, ink, etc. even when compared to furniture which may have toxic lacquer. Things like upholstered furniture like couches can be great since they're made with untreated wood on the inside which is bone dry. Even as a kid I knew that and found the scene kind of weird since pretty much anyone who's been around a fire knows paper burns WAY faster than timber.
@@arthas640 this guy is gonna freeze to death trying to decide which flammable substance has less chemicals that will give him cancer when he is 80. Lolol Imagine just yapping and yapping reciting things youve heard. Imagine just being a parrot your whole life waiting to spew some recited info you saw on a youtube short lolol WOOD IS WEATHER TREATED DONT BURN PALLETS IN AN EMERGENCY lol We know, dude.

I always got hung up on the fact that crossing the border from texas to mexico magically went from glacier to tropical. as if the two weren't literally right next to each other.
For some reason, seeing the helicopters fly to NYC & seeing hundreds of survivors (most completely unaware of the instafreeze that was coming for them) on top of the skyscrapers was my favorite ending of any disaster movie. It showed that the library holdout was happening in literally millions of buildings around the nation & world, with complete strangers coming together to help each other out despite the chaos & confusion they just experienced; and despite having zero exposition or plot armor handed to them, still managed to survive the worst that nature threw at them. It really gave me hope in humanity’s capability to endure.
That's a great idea for a psychological thriller movie where people go against each other due to climate constrains. Like the mist but more human made horrors. Like group hugging and groping.
@@Marylandbrony Considering how it perfectly encapsulated many governments' response to the Covid pandemic, they'll definitely be looking back on it. - Just in the context of studying a historical (then-contemporary) satire, rather than in the context of "that was a good film from my childhood".
I thought that the Insta-freeze had already happened by that point. Jake Gyllenhall goes to the boat that got washed up in NYC for medicine, and on the way back the freeze starts. They all make it back to the library and burn the books to keep the ice away and barely make it. I’m not sure if it’s him or his dad who end up passing by the frozen bodies of everyone who left the library earlier and got hit by the freeze I thought the end of the movie with the helicopters was after all the weather shit had blown over
This was recently on again and I caught a bit of it, and it's kind of hilarious how much emphasis they put on NY flooding but after the big flood scene, we never see any actual dead people in the water. For a MASSIVE DISASTER movie it felt hilariously clean for the most part. It's like they were too scared to actually show people dying, and left it to frozen bodies.
I've been stationed in east New Mexico for about 10 years now (5 minutes from the border) but where in Texas does this happen? Lubbock and Amarillo always seem fine in winter.
The more Cody talks about his favorite things from his childhood, the more I am convinced we lived the same life. If he does a video on monster trucks it will be confirmed
In Day after Tomorrow, the most unrealistic part is the politician admitting he was wrong. 2012 goes even further in fantasy, with politicians who believe the scientists before the disaster start, and actively act to help humanity survive.
The 2012 politicians don't follow the scientific advices to save humanity. They do it to save themselves. Remember how the Arks are only occupied by politicians and oligarchs? I think it's pretty realistic
@@osasunaitorI read an article recently that billionaires like Peter Thiel are building “survival fortresses” in New Zealand for when civilization finally collapses. I guess because it’s a mostly-uncorrupted island country far from everywhere else. But I laugh thinking about it because what is Thiel etc gonna do about the lackeys that I’m assuming he’ll expect to man the turrets, give him massages and whatever other weird shit people richer than God do?? They’ll turn on him the first day and eat the rich. Well, not literally. That’s what the endless supply of top shelf canned food and purified water is for, lol.
My favorite fact about The Day After Tomorrow is that at some point during production the screenplay for the film leaked, and the guys making South Park got ahold of it and thought it was so hilariously stupid that they had the idea of making a Thunderbirds-like version of it with puppets and release it on the exact same day as the Roland Emmerich film, which would've probably been a troll of astronomical proportions that few could recover from. Unfortunately there were obvious rights issues so they turned that idea into a pseudo Thunderbirds reboot, but as a send-off to the Roland Emmerich/Jerry Bruckheimer type of blockbusters, the final result being Team America: World Police.
If it's true that script writer originally just sent the copy of The Day After Tomorrow script to major studios, then i assume what Parker and Stone got wasn't a leaked script, just a copy that was sent to Paramount.
I will never forget how my acting teacher heared students talk about moonfall to then just casually drop that he went to school with Emerich and is still friends with him.
Honestly, I would 100% watch a Roland Emmerich where evil alien muffins take over the world, only to be stopped by some random guy who has a degree in baking science and no other qualifications
I want a movie where Gordon Ramsay beats back an alien invasion by insulting their cooking abilities and referring to them as beasts of labor with mental deficiencies.
And then Hub makes a video on it and discovers it's all based on a 2005 book about a conspiracy by the government to hide the fact baked goods are alive and want to kill humanity
As far as 2000’s disaster movies go, Day After Tomorrow actually holds up rather well, especially compared to its contemporaries. Hell, it even does it job better than most 2010’s disaster movies which is just… kinda sad when you think about it.
Part of me really likes “Category 7: The End of the World” because the second half of the movie has the characters escape from like this religious cult, or something.
@@M0b1us_118 My personal favorite 00's disaster film is Cloverfield. I realize it was the root cause for shaky-cam found footage schlock to plague the industry for a while, but it doesn't change the fact that Cloverfield is so well executed for what it's trying to be.
Update: found it, here is a link to a youtube community post: th-cam.com/users/postUgkxqkGQel0x_CDFQMz45cGR4vpaRjKJbed3?si=2IJX3hsYK2nGhaBB Every time you see a snowstorm, its actually my dad shooting a snow cannon in the face of the actors. My dad was a special effect assistant. Wish i could share a picture in the comments of my dad grinning with the huge cannon in his hand. Always found that kinda cool.
If it makes you feel any better, I was in my late twenties when Day After Tomorrow came out and I love it. Yeah, I knew it was pretty dumb, but it was still a fun movie.
They're literally the only part of the movie I remember. The part where he tells people to stuff news paper in their jacket for extra insulation has been lodged in my brain for the last 18 years or so even though I havent seen the movie since I rented it at Blockbuster.
Oddly enough, the most memorable moment in that movie for me is the library scenes. The dude being absolutely against burning the books, getting pissed when they even think of burning the Gutenberg Bible, literally sitting there protecting the bible.
it's a really powerful scene because the librarian didn't even belived in the Bible, but he knew how much of a piece of history it was. He was willing to freeze if it meant saving the history of humanity. ...fortunately they had all those books on taxes to burn down instead.
@@zahylon5993 It's a stupid scene. He was willing to die and take everyone in that room with him to protect a book that will have countless millions of copies alongside digital records to back it up
@@mattd6085 If that was an actual Gutenburg bible, I'm pretty sure there aren't millions lying around. More like dozens of centuries old copies that survive a run of thousands across multiple editions. And he can't be sure than any others are surviving in that moment. So he chooses to preserve a piece of history across the Apocalypse as best he can. I can respect that. It's actually got some emotional heft for a Roland scene.
The thing with the Bible guy saying he’s protecting it because the written word is mankind’s greatest achievement always sticks with me because it’s something that could so easily be cut without impacting the rest of the movie. Especially when it’s just a couple of minor characters. But the sincerity in the writing and delivery gets me.
@John Evergreen oh cool I remember my 15-19 year old aggressive evangelical atheist period. It doesn't feel like it now, but it passes. You stop caring so much about feeling tricked and lied to all your childhood by society and your loved ones the more you grow and live life and realize they aren't malicious, like, your mom wasn't being malicious, she just was also told the same things. As was her mom and her mom and so on. And then you see how much worse many other people got indoctrinated. And then you stop caring, it doesn't matter what other people do or think. It's a lot like youtube honestly, the atheism stuff was literally the biggest thing on youtube for its first couple years. Really well into the early 2010s. But eventually it passed and people moved on to other things bc even the super aggressive atheist youtube "Four Horsemen" moved on and stopped caring so much. But enjoy it, I have funny memories from that time, and it isn't like I'm religious now, I just don't care much at all.
It's funny because I wouldn't even put the written word in the top 5 of humanities greatest achievements. There's medical advancements, domestication of animals, large scale land manipulation, and those are just a few of what we use to measure the complexity of civilizations. You could even throw in the lightbulb, which literally changed the way we function as a species during the night.
@@michaelgjrjvebs question, how would we pass on any of that information to future generations if the majority of the people who knew it suddenly died?
2012 was that movie for me. I grew up on Animal Planet, Discovery Channel, and The History Channel. When the History Channel started putting out "documentaries" as though a cataclysmic 2012 apocalypse was a 100% real thing that was definitely going to happen. As far as I knew, it was! I believed it completely. It freaked me the fuck out, I was absolutely terrified. I got all depressed like what is the point of school if the world is going to end soon anyway? (Ironically I now feel the same way and am depressed for that exact reason, but this time because of real climate change). Anyway when the movie 2012 came out I again fully believed that was actually how it was all going to go down. I geniunly believed on Jan 1 2012 exactly what I saw in the 2012 movie was litterally going to happen. I couldnt sleep on new years I was so scared. Then litterally nothing happened and I kind of forgot about it. But when P.Hub made the video about the movie I decided to go back and watch it for some reason. So I did and ended up having a panic attack. The trauma and fear still lurks in my brain to this day.
i once seen a storm the left side was grey the right was like there was a fire and the sky was dark at 4PM while it was late autumn season in eastern europe something very unusual and few minutes later it was raining that felt like heavy fog with heavy rain you could not see 30 meters in front of you and you could hear the rain inside a small warehouse building how the metal was banging from the rain it was a sign that very rarely happened also im more worried about having a hole in the sky imagine this scene its a clear sky mid day the sky is blue and suddenly theres a hole with visible stars and the hole in atmosphere and suddenly its super cold the leaf turns to solid ice and the ground is slippery the cars are slipping out of control and walking on the grass a bit safer then on concrete ironically that what happened once it was a simple day the trees were all green but after a simple rain the ground turned to ice it was ultra unusual pre summer season these type of weather anomalies happens once in a lifetime i would be worried if it happened once a year or more
The weird thing about this movie is how I remember watching the DVD menu and how it would have all these news reports on the menu with increasing dread in each broadcast, and then it ends with a guy getting killed by a falling icicle. I honestly remember the menu more than the actual movie.
When I first saw this movie that seen where the pilot freezes solid was deeply disturbing to me, and still is. The idea of just freezing solid like that is terrifying
@@freelanceryuu Arctic Blast. Main plotline is about a hole in the ozone layer funneling Stratospheric air down to ground level... which in this movie is cold enough to flash freeze everything. I cant quite recall if the hole moves, or if its just getting bigger, but this flash freezing wave does chase the protags. I think it was the latter. Also has Michael Shanks (AKA Daniel Jackson from Stargate) as a lead role, so that was kinda fun.
The scene where they get medical supplies on the ship where the wolves attacked them took me out of the movie so hard. The wolves just so happened to be the only animals that escaped in some magical way that never is explained, and they end up on the ship during the exact 10 minutes the protagonists are in there. Also, when they encounter them, the wolves go absolutely batshit insane in some sort of rabies driven rampage which is not actual wolf behaviour, generally they are pretty timid. It just felt like such a forced action scene just to have some obstacle our main characters could overcome, but most of all it just does not fit in at all; the entire movie is building up to this storm and wether or not they will survive it, but then suddenly 3 random wolves decide to ruin this guy's day because fuck em
If I remember correctly, the wolves escaped the zoo. Which would probably mean they would fairly useless in the wild. I had a pet coyote as a child, bottle fed from about 3 days. She had absolutely no survival skills. She expected any mean given to her to be cooked and nicely cut up in bite size pieces. She also insisted on genuine maple syrup on her Sunday waffles and pancakes. In an emergency, she would have politely waited to be directed to the nearest safe haven. She would not have been reverting back to instinct and hunting people down.
“People screaming on a sunny day because there’s no rain.” I mean, that was pretty much a good chunk of the first season of Clarkson’s Farm. Pretty entertaining tbh.
This movie literally started my career in VFX, I think I was around seven years old and I saw a behind-the-scenes and the guy was rendering out the tidal wave scene on that kind of looks like mine.
This was the one DVD my school had on hand growing up, so any free peruod we'd watch this. But because our classes were only 40 minutes, we'd only watch the first half. The good half. The bit where the choppers freeze mid air always stuck with me, that was cool as hell
The soundtrack to Day After Tomorrow really is a standout, and doesn’t get enough credit. I’m not familiar with the composer so I’m not surprised he hasn’t been able to create anything as memorable.
Took a direct hit from the strongest part of an EF4 tornado two years ago in a place not really known for tornados. Still homeless, actually. Indeed, the last EF4 in the state was a decade earlier but at least it was in a rural area. Never really cared about them before that but my town is still ruined by it. Hearing a weather alert sends chills down my spine now. Saw another TH-camr casually ignoring an air raid siren (used as tornado alerts in most towns like mine) and it made me uneasy even though I behaved much the same way that night.
Two years and the town is still damaged? That's rough, I lost my neighbourhood to bushfires so I kind of know the feeling. I hope you get on your feet soon Emmett.
So a tornado destroyed ur house and yet u have internet and phone still work and no insurance and no re sheltering programs but also can charge ur electric shit?
@@dont-touch-mepg1392 I don’t know why you think these things are contradictions when they aren’t. If you must know: I prepared to move into my 16x16x16 foot accessory building at my mom’s place when her landlord of 45 years decided he was selling the whole neighborhood. She fought eviction for a year and a half but there was no way I was putting any effort into making essentially a barn livable when I was going to have to abandon it. Besides, now my mom needed a place to stay and I still didn’t have one. I ended up staying in a workshop I was renting a block away from her. No shower, no stove, no heating/cooling, but only a block away from her. It was basically a storage unit. Meanwhile, the tornado-damaged house was rebuilt. Our old landlord had plans to sell it they must have changed because he just invited us back last month. We are still in the process of moving back in. Yes, it was difficult to find housing when over 1,700 buildings/homes were damaged in a 48.9 mile long-track EF4 tornado. That shouldn’t be hard to believe. I couldn’t even get a storage unit in the same county because so many people were displaced with their own stuff in storage. I didn’t even have a vehicle for the first year because it crushed my car and left me injured, DESPITE what the NWS report says about “zero injuries” in a DEADLY tornado (yes, it killed). I had to spend my 42 hundred car insurance check on the orthopedic surgeon, MRI, and physical therapy because I had a 5k deductible. Perhaps you don’t know this, but Biden refused to declare the disaster for individual aid from FEMA though he DID declare it for surrounding states that were hit by weaker tornadoes from the same outbreak. His rationale was that Newnan had enough money to recover. Well, I didn’t get any of it. I work retail and all of Alan Jackson’s benefit concert proceeds went to a charity that I couldn’t even reach. I hope this satisfies you.
@@dont-touch-mepg1392 Oh yeah: John Ossoff and Raphael Warnock appealed to Biden to change his stance on federal aid, but he did not. Meanwhile, he gaffed about how “they don’t call them ‘tornados’ anymore” in some weird exchange that was probably supposed to be about derechos. Still, it shows how little consideration he gave us. Meanwhile, the only other EF4 tornado that year was the tri-state tornado on Dec 10 where he was there on the ground ASAP. He never even visited us. Now, since I responded to you within 16 minutes you know I didn’t have time to make any of this up. Most of these details are easy to verify and you can even find videos of it on my page.
There was an entire sub-plot cut from this film too. Remember Taka, the guy who gets killed during the Tokyo hail storm? The phone call he gets in the original scene wasn't from his wife, but from a NYC stock broker as the FTC is cracking down on their insider trading scheme and Taka dies before he can get things covered up. That NYC stock broker is trying to weasel his way out of accountability and is the only one celebrating when the weather disasters take the focus off of him. He and his buddies trudge through the flooded streets of New York, where the board an out of service bus, that gets swept up in the tidal wave and eventually crushed under that Russian cargo ship. So yeah, whole sub-plot about insider trading and securities fraud being more important than the climate, until it isn't.
'When you are scared of something you are also almost fascinated by it too' This explains a lot of my fear of the ocean and seas, I grew up swimming a lot and I kept seeing these very big and scary fish and other sea creatures on the tv and I would hesitate to go to sea. But everytime I keep coming back to sea and those documentary shows and movies still giving me sleeping problems. I close my eyes and see those big and hostile looking fish.
I was always fascinated and terrified as kid by the fuel lines in the helicopter freezing instantly. I couldn’t comprehend any environment being that cold.
I think it's kind of fascinating how the media we consume as children can contribute to the phobias we develop later on. Like, using a personal example, I've developed a crippling phobia of most arthropods in general as a result of two particular scenes from very different things I saw as a kid, the first being from _Walking With Beasts_ where a newly hatched bird was eaten alive by giant ants and the second being a scene from _RL Stein's The Haunting Hour_ where a child was eaten alive in his bed by cockroaches. So it's nice to hear someone other than me developed a phobia thanks to the influence of a piece of media they saw.
I’ve developed a fear of being murdered after accidentally walking in on my cousin watching Doctor Who when I was 4 years old during a scene where the cyber men murdered a bunch of people at a party.
I think the very same Walking With Beasts scene is why I struggle with insects too. Specifically swarms. That and the way the colonel dies in Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
The flood scene was terrifying as a kid for me. Imagining yourself in that situation but the scene that really got me was the one with the helicopter pilots that froze in seconds. Having lived in Alaska when I watched this movie, it was a really scary possible reality as a kid. XD
scared me as a kid since I grew up near the water and not far from Mt St Helens. There's been a few crazy floods in my area in the distant past and both Mt St Helens and Mt Rainier are considered dangerous mountains and they're explosive enough to put large parts of the state at risk and western Washington is thought to be overdue for a massive earthquake as well.
@@arthas640So if u bring up global warming and a inconvenient truth and talk like ur right or smart just stop. Why u think it's now climate change and the inconvenient truth said 15 years ago ice would be gone at the poles and same with polar bears. They were wrong again. Same as acid rain, ice age, blue fog, ice age again, hole in ozone, end of fossil fuels and global warming.
This is one of those movies I cherish because it's something my dad and I always watch together. Even when I'm playing a game, he comes up to tell me "hey Day After Tomorrow is on" and I always put down whatever I'm doing. The movie is silly, but I believe that is the films strength. It's also a time capsule to simpler times when movies were more about experiences (both dumb and fun) and not about building cinematic universes that are the equivalent of Chinese food where it's great for 2hrs but you'll forget it the next day. Glad someone else shares the same admiration towards this film
I kind of love hearing that another person out there was scared shitless of tornadoes as a kid and that somehow led them to being obsessed with the weather. I was exactly the same I had tons of books, would look up stuff online, watch videos. I even went to this weeklong camp thing hosted by my dads workplace one summer that was themed around weather stuff. Always figured that because I was so scared of extreme weather I thought that learning about it would ease my fears.
@Smustang Well I'm still terrified of tornadoes but now I can look at a weather map and whatnot and tell you all the meteorological terms for exactly what I'm afraid of lol
If it wasn't for that movie Twister, I wouldn't have been scared as a kid aswell. But I was eventually amused growing up, learning how goofy the storyline was
I actually enjoy the movie. The characters may not be memorable, but I keep coming back to this film for the disaster scenes. They are INTENSE. You actually see people die.
My family and I will often watch day after tomorrow and 2012 as a weekend disaster fest. We’ve watched both like 6 times over the years because they are incredibly fun to watch. Sure, they’re not the best, but they’re close to my heart because of the time I get to spend with my family having fun.
That's a good idea for a show. It would have a lot of artistic value, getting darker and darker as time goes on (both writing and visuals). The final episode could be the apocalypse happening because of so many natural disasters. It'd really send a message about global warming.
That would be the "perfect disaster" series. It covers unusual large climate disasters in different continents (which made it more interesting imo). "funny" thing is, that like 2/3rd of the depictet natural events already happened since the release of the series. Just not necessarily where they depicted them.
I must say, this movie started my trend of listening to disaster movie soundtracks, specifically the tracks that play during the disaster scenes. It was a weird obsession, listening to how composers convey tension and destruction through music. I found some good melodies among them, this movie include. Others would be Armageddon, which has a recurring doomy gloomy leitmotif for the asteroid, and Twister which has choirs singing when the tornado is onscreen to really make them feel like the fingers of God.
Definitely check out the soundtrack to Independence Day then, it's got some fantastic dark brass writing for the alien ships and the destruction they wreak (pitted against some downright Star Wars esque heroic stuff for the humans). I really wish Emmerich hadn't stopped working with David Arnold tbh
@@LordMangudai I did listen to ID4 as well, I love The Darkest Day. And not gonna lie, his work on G98 had some good parts to it, the theme for the opening sequence encapsulated the horrific power of the atom bomb.
As a former honors student who lived overseas and traveled a lot for school trips, yes. They were primarily attended because you wanted to get with someone else on the trip. Little strange? Sure, but it worked.
8:16 Thank you so much for pointing that out man, I know it is a little thing but it makes me happy that finally someone realized a false representation of us. A lot of people still believe we are Ottomans same as those from the beginning of 20th century. I was surprised you knew about this stuff.
As a German, the title the day after tomorrow will always be funny to me. The day after tomorrow has its own name, Übermorgen ("Over"-tomorrow) it also works the same way with yesterday, vorgestern ("pre"-yesterday ). The terms are both used like you’d use the regular tomorrow and yesterday in terms of frequency so this title just sounds something like "the day that comes after the current day" or something goofy like that even though it’s how you’d normally call it in English
We also have the same thing in Farsi. We have پس فردا or Pas Farda (Pas means Over and Farda means tomorrow) so it's also a stupid and hilarious name the exact same way as your language.
That bit about being terrified yet fascinated by weather really hit home. I was PETRIFIED of tornadoes, yet did everything I could to learn more about them.
I remember the hype this movie had. There was an elaborate trailer for The Day After Tomorrow before The Secret Window. And another one before Ban Helsing. I remember the audience going, Woah!” At the sight of Manhattan covered in a glacier. The opening day showing was a packed house too. Last day of school 8th grade 2004. I hate nostalgia 🙃
As one of the five people who saw Disney’s Strange World, I appreciate that somebody involved with that movie was clearly a big fan of this movie since it also stars Jake Gyllenhaal and Dennis Quaid.
Ok , semi serius note : from a thematic pov the second half is pretty good , Mostly because it's strangers helping each other when shit hit the fan , We need more of this nowadays i think , I also remember two caracter moments : The homeless guy that suggested to burn books and use them as insulation from the cold , And the librarian that hangs on to the first printed bible , despite him not being a beliver , just because he thinks it's important to preserve it ... It's kinda like cast away in wich tom hanks saves the package with the wings to have somenthing tonlive for , It's a bit of a teater to show what humans do to survive and keep being humans ... So yeah surprisingly this movie has a bit of a heart/somenthing to say , It's likely incidental but eh , let's not beat emmerich too hard ...
Exactly, that was part of the reason I enjoyed the second half despite being much slower than the disaster-packed first half. A lot of humans died, but the human spirit endured.
I absolutely agree with this. As a kid, I used to be a little bored of the second half but as an adult, I like it more. It's optimism and human solidarity is hopeful and contagious. The father - son dynamic with Jack and Sam was always my favorite part. I still watch this movie with my dad on Father's day sometimes. We both like it.
I actually did take a class from a paleoclimatologist once. He wasn't supposed to be there. The guy who was supposed to teach the atmospheric science 101 class at my college went missing all of a sudden so they had to pull this grumpy computational climate modeler guy out of the basement and force him to teach the entry level class. He was super angry about this and got his revenge by making this 101 "rocks for jocks" blowoff course incredibly intense and difficult, which I thought was awesome, although I also almost flunked. Anyway he did talk a lot about global warming, and he *did* talk about hypercanes as a historical thing that could happen again. He never got into the north atlantic current thing, this was like 2003 so maybe if this had happened two years later he would have been fielding all these questions about The Day After Tomorrow. He mainly seemed concerned with farmland, like he said all the good arable land spots on earth is going to move around by hundreds of miles and there will be wars in places where suddenly entire countries can't grow food and suddenly their neighbors can, and what he called "feedback mechanisms", stuff like how there's a bunch of methane trapped in the arctic permafrost and so if the globe warms up too much the permafrost melts and releases the methane and warms things up even more. He said there were positive and negative feedback mechanisms, negative mechanisms that force the earth to stay at a particular point in the climate configuration space so that things can get jostled around a bit and they just return to normal on their own, and positive mechanisms that if you move *too* far away from the stable point they suddenly grab you like a conveyor belt and start moving you further and further away from the stable point. He described climate like this big N-dimensional map with a handful of stable equilibria, and as long as you're near a stable equilibrium you stay there but if you move too far away suddenly you get lurched to a new stable equilibrium and then you can't get out again. So at least one real paleoclimatologist around 2003 really did take seriously, and tell to just literally anyone who would listen to him for more than ten minutes, that it actually is possible for global warming to unpredictably lurch us into some completely new New Normal, much quicker than we expect, and lock us there. But I don't think he meant "a week", I think he meant like, "fast on geological time". He also did seem convinced the hypercane thing could happen, like, hurricanes that cover a third of the globe. He said it just has to get hot enough, and it's gotten hot enough before. It does have to get *pretty* hot, I think the going theory is that historical hypercanes would have been caused by the heat of a meteor impact. He also didn't suggest a hypercane could cause an ice age or whatever. The thing that concerned him about the hypercane is that it can, his words, "create its own fuel". Apparently storm systems are giant machines made of parcels of warm and cold air, and they consume warm air in the areas they're moving into and poop it out as cold rain. Normal storms eventually run out of warm air to eat but apparently hypercanes are so big they can get into a configuration where the hypercane somehow causes the earth to *create* new warm air for the hypercane to eat and the hypercane just *doesn't end*, paleoclimatology dude seemed to think it could it last for hundreds of years maybe. I just wanted to share that in case it comforts you
Hypercanes are hypothesized to have accomplished several mass extinctions, one key example is The Great Dying where they were made out of poisonous gas instead of regular air. They aren't a part of any realistic predictions for global warming since you need something like large scale volcanism or a meteor impact to mess up the atmosphere enough to create them. However global droughts and desertification is absolutely going to happen, because it is already happening. One fun consequence of this is that tropical diseases like Malaria will move further north into places like Europe, East Asia and North America.
If I may make a disaster movie recommendation for a future video: the 1997 Volcano was one I really enjoyed. Also, the one thing that always stuck in my mind about this movie was: what's going on at the equator during all this? Like, there's no way it's still the new Ice Age in the tropics, or even the sub-tropics, even if the Gulf Stream and other ocean currents were disrupted enough to stop entirely and even if there were arctic anti-hurricanes that got stronger with cold.
This movie. Independence Day. Moonfall....I don't know what it is but I'm obsessed with the way Roland Emmerich writes and directs movies. Yeah, they're not good but they live on prime continental sized real estate, rent free, in my mind.
I'd love if you could do one of these for "Contagion" (relate it back to the COVID pandemic and how everyone in that movie is too damn competent), and "The Core", probably the only movie that can rival the Day After Tomorrow as my guilty pleasure disaster-flick
@@Kaanfight That's because people were warning about a Covid-like outbreak ever since SARS, Obama had an entire program based around preventing it that got shut down in the early days of the Trump admin.
Contagion is good. Very good actually. If something like Bird Flu mutated to transmit human-human, it would really be that bad. Tens, if not hundreds of millions would die. In fact, that film might actually hold back a bit from reality. Covid was quite severe, but nowhere near as severe as some influenza strains. We are severely, hilariously unprepared for an ACTUAL pandemic.
Twister absolutely terrified me. Somehow every time I watched it (as a child) the local tornado siren would do a "test." I'd already lost a house at that age (to weather; lightning strike, fire) so I guess I'm just now realizing the impact it had. geez.
I remember learning about The Day After Tomorrow years ago through one of the tornado books in my elementary school's library. For the longest time I genuinely thought the movie was some campy drama film that just happened to have a tornado scene in it, and I was pleasantly surprised to be proven wrong when I finally got the chance to watch it.
Thanks for reminding me of every tree in Austin exploding and every power line freezing to death a few weeks ago here. It truly was the Day Last Week A Month Ago Before Tomorrow.
@@diktatoralexander88 Yeah the recent ice storm stayed at about an even 30 degrees in burger units, which kept things wet during the day and frozen at night. The trees got soaked down to the core with wet ice, which built up and caused it to expand and "explode". Tree limbs fell everywhere and broke power lines and cars.
@@Wisehowlgames Damn its just weird here. The snow was rock solid and iced on the sidewalk. I skated my way to the road and did spins. Never gets weird like that up in Utah.
@@diktatoralexander88 This is more about what the trees themselves were adapted for, trees native to northern latitudes dry out their trunks during the winter and shed their leaves to avoid this kinda thing.
9:57 Yeah, pretty much. In my experience, there's a subset of girls that are attractive and smart, but were bullied for being "nerds" and possibly weren't attractive when they were younger, so the jocks were out of the question, and they wanted someone roughly as smart as they are, but also relatively attractive. It's weird shit.
Looking forward hopefully to a video about the film Twister in anticipation of the sequel. That's the film in my childhood that really really gave me the tornado terror.
Funny thing. The two arguing about the book is one of the few things I remember about this movie. Along with one of the survivors going for help being frozen in their sleep.
I think I read somewhere that Trey Park and Matt Stone (the creators of South Park) were able to get a ahold of this movies script before it hit theaters. They wanted to quickly make it into a film like Team America and release it before the actual movie. The only thing that stopped them were their lawyers and warnings of massive lawsuits.
5:40 ha, I'm the opposite the COLD - that's the scariest part of this film for me you can survive worst hell possible but then you have to _keep on surviving_ , while everything is already vanished
This movie is crazy nostalgic for me. I was scared and fascinated by disaster movies and everytime a babysitter would come I'd make her play this movie. my dad had a collection of thousands of movies but this is the one i'd repeatedly insist to watch
Watched this movie in Winnipeg and when Dennis Quaid took off his mitts to grip steel girders at -50* or whatever the entire theater erupted into laughter.
1:09 bruh I'm not alone!!!!!!!! I never understood why the movie twister messed me up so bad as a kid. Like I still have the recurring nightmare of running from a mega storm to this day.
kind of crazy how that's likely the most famous thing about Cheney. I dont think anyone I know could quote anything he said or talk about any of his political stances (outside of mainstream conservative positions nearly all conservatives share), or any policies of his, he's just that VP who wanted to invade the middle east and accidentally shot a guy hunting.
@@AHumanBeingNamedAlex doesnt make much sense for it to be purposeful. For starters they were hunting quail so the shotguns used are much less powerful than the 12 gauge you'd use to kill a human, if he wanted it kill the man how could have gone after even medium sized game instead. The 2 didnt know each other well enough to be enemies and the man Cheney shot was highly supportive of the Bush Administration and helped get Bush elected so they were professionally aligned/allied so shooting him gained Cheney nothing and cost him a huge scandal and greatly worsened his already low popularity. Both the official investigation and the guy that got shot both put it down to negligence/unsafe practices rather than malicious intent.
I have a fond memory about this movie; my family caught the last half on TV one day, and we decided to rent it from the local Blockbuster and watch it fully. Problem was, we all forgot the proper name. We ended up picking up The Day After. We sat through an entire nuclear holocaust movie, thinking “oh, the part we saw on TV will probably come next”.
@@NeutralGuyDoubleZero you arnt my god or father you have no power over me, you have absolutely nothing to threaten me with you are nameless, go back to the void from which you came
Despite being a standard disaster film, this film got me interested in weather. I remember as a kid being enamored with the snow-hurricane thing. I know its unrealistic as all get out, but it got me interested in storms and storm chasing. It helps that I live in west Texas where the weather is ran by randomness on LSD.
The fact you talked about art bell was amazing my dad showed me him and they way he handled talking to random people was perfect when he took calls on radio.

Thank you for detouring from the video to give me an update on the guy that Dick Cheney shot lmao
I wouldn’t have know his status without it
Cheney really did him like that
Edit: I just got to that part of the video and, goddamn, you did not disappoint.
I thought he died immediately after getting shot
F in the comments section
Dick came back to finish the job.
I watched the commentary for 2012 and it was at the grocery store scene. Emmerich was talking about how the character says "I feel like something is pulling us apart" and then the earthquakes and literally pulls them apart. He said some people didn't like it but he thought it was funny so he kept it in, and that told me everything I needed to know about him.
I always thought it was funny and liked it
And that's why I love all of his movies that I've seen. They guy's just doing what he likes, I can't fault him for that. Even if their trainwrecks plot wise, he manages to make the movies entertaining as heck, at least to me, and that's my priority number 1 with the media called "entertainment"
I thought that this would be important information to share, given the environment-related nature of this movie. 35% of all ocean microplastics come from clothing/textiles, mostly polyester, but also acrylic and nylon as well. This is largely due to clothes made of these materials being washed, which causes these clothes to quickly erode, with the microplastic fibers entering the water system and eventually the sea. Ocean Hero is a great search engine that we can use to help clean up larger plastics before they disintegrate into microplastics.

I always remember the library half. Especially the part where they are deciding what books to burn, and piling up the "boring" books on GIANT OAK TABLES.
I found that really bizarre, especially since in a building like that there's bound to be tons of old, dry lumber which chances are is old enough to lack the chemicals used in modern pressured treated lumber. Books dont even always make great fuel since they burn quickly and put out a lot of smoke due to all the additives, binding, ink, etc. even when compared to furniture which may have toxic lacquer. Things like upholstered furniture like couches can be great since they're made with untreated wood on the inside which is bone dry. Even as a kid I knew that and found the scene kind of weird since pretty much anyone who's been around a fire knows paper burns WAY faster than timber.
@@arthas640 this guy is gonna freeze to death trying to decide which flammable substance has less chemicals that will give him cancer when he is 80. Lolol

For some reason, seeing the helicopters fly to NYC & seeing hundreds of survivors (most completely unaware of the instafreeze that was coming for them) on top of the skyscrapers was my favorite ending of any disaster movie. It showed that the library holdout was happening in literally millions of buildings around the nation & world, with complete strangers coming together to help each other out despite the chaos & confusion they just experienced; and despite having zero exposition or plot armor handed to them, still managed to survive the worst that nature threw at them. It really gave me hope in humanity’s capability to endure.
i feel like that's part of the movie's message, much like roaches we will survive
I wonder if in 20 years someone will do a nostalgic look back at "Don't look up" even though it has the opposite ending.
That's a great idea for a psychological thriller movie where people go against each other due to climate constrains.
Like the mist but more human made horrors. Like group hugging and groping.
@@Marylandbrony Considering how it perfectly encapsulated many governments' response to the Covid pandemic, they'll definitely be looking back on it. - Just in the context of studying a historical (then-contemporary) satire, rather than in the context of "that was a good film from my childhood".
I thought that the Insta-freeze had already happened by that point.
Jake Gyllenhall goes to the boat that got washed up in NYC for medicine, and on the way back the freeze starts. They all make it back to the library and burn the books to keep the ice away and barely make it.
I’m not sure if it’s him or his dad who end up passing by the frozen bodies of everyone who left the library earlier and got hit by the freeze
I thought the end of the movie with the helicopters was after all the weather shit had blown over
This was recently on again and I caught a bit of it, and it's kind of hilarious how much emphasis they put on NY flooding but after the big flood scene, we never see any actual dead people in the water. For a MASSIVE DISASTER movie it felt hilariously clean for the most part. It's like they were too scared to actually show people dying, and left it to frozen bodies.
Frozen bodies can also look more "peaceful" since the movie trope is they just look like stiff sleeping people.
The frozen bodies were kind of terrifying to me, especially after the people leave the library
@@Pranaynaynay oh im not denying that part, those were definitely horrifying.
It's a necessary part of the spectacle, they can't show too many bodies or it ruins the disaster p**n.

As a fellow Texan, I can confirm that the plot of this movie is exactly what happens every February.

In Day after Tomorrow, the most unrealistic part is the politician admitting he was wrong. 2012 goes even further in fantasy, with politicians who believe the scientists before the disaster start, and actively act to help humanity survive.
More realistic would had been if they said Russia did it.
They would just cover it up.
On a sidenote here? Im surprised there hasn’t been some kind of movie about a modern day tambora.
The 2012 politicians don't follow the scientific advices to save humanity. They do it to save themselves. Remember how the Arks are only occupied by politicians and oligarchs? I think it's pretty realistic
@@osasunaitorI read an article recently that billionaires like Peter Thiel are building “survival fortresses” in New Zealand for when civilization finally collapses.

But I laugh thinking about it because what is Thiel etc gonna do about the lackeys that I’m assuming he’ll expect to man the turrets, give him massages and whatever other weird shit people richer than God do??
They’ll turn on him the first day and eat the rich. Well, not literally. That’s what the endless supply of top shelf canned food and purified water is for, lol.
My favorite fact about The Day After Tomorrow is that at some point during production the screenplay for the film leaked, and the guys making South Park got ahold of it and thought it was so hilariously stupid that they had the idea of making a Thunderbirds-like version of it with puppets and release it on the exact same day as the Roland Emmerich film, which would've probably been a troll of astronomical proportions that few could recover from.
Unfortunately there were obvious rights issues so they turned that idea into a pseudo Thunderbirds reboot, but as a send-off to the Roland Emmerich/Jerry Bruckheimer type of blockbusters, the final result being Team America: World Police.
If it's true that script writer originally just sent the copy of The Day After Tomorrow script to major studios, then i assume what Parker and Stone got wasn't a leaked script, just a copy that was sent to Paramount.
THAT'S how Team America got made? That's fucking hilarious
That’s how team America was created? Amazing
So THIS is how Team America came to be? Indescribable.

Fascinating.

Them burning tax law books because they were the most worthless and still thick and very burnable was always funny to me as a kid

@John Evergreen oh cool I remember my 15-19 year old aggressive evangelical atheist period. It doesn't feel like it now, but it passes. You stop caring so much about feeling tricked and lied to all your childhood by society and your loved ones the more you grow and live life and realize they aren't malicious, like, your mom wasn't being malicious, she just was also told the same things. As was her mom and her mom and so on. And then you see how much worse many other people got indoctrinated. And then you stop caring, it doesn't matter what other people do or think.
It's a lot like youtube honestly, the atheism stuff was literally the biggest thing on youtube for its first couple years. Really well into the early 2010s. But eventually it passed and people moved on to other things bc even the super aggressive atheist youtube "Four Horsemen" moved on and stopped caring so much.

This movie terrified me as a kid. I remember seeing a black cloud in the sky from a factory & starting to have a panic attack in the backseat
2012 was that movie for me. I grew up on Animal Planet, Discovery Channel, and The History Channel.
When the History Channel started putting out "documentaries" as though a cataclysmic 2012 apocalypse was a 100% real thing that was definitely going to happen. As far as I knew, it was! I believed it completely. It freaked me the fuck out, I was absolutely terrified. I got all depressed like what is the point of school if the world is going to end soon anyway? (Ironically I now feel the same way and am depressed for that exact reason, but this time because of real climate change).
Anyway when the movie 2012 came out I again fully believed that was actually how it was all going to go down. I geniunly believed on Jan 1 2012 exactly what I saw in the 2012 movie was litterally going to happen. I couldnt sleep on new years I was so scared.
Then litterally nothing happened and I kind of forgot about it. But when P.Hub made the video about the movie I decided to go back and watch it for some reason. So I did and ended up having a panic attack. The trauma and fear still lurks in my brain to this day.
i once seen a storm the left side was grey the right was like there was a fire and the sky was dark at 4PM while it was late autumn season in eastern europe something very unusual and few minutes later it was raining that felt like heavy fog with heavy rain you could not see 30 meters in front of you and you could hear the rain inside a small warehouse building how the metal was banging from the rain
it was a sign that very rarely happened
also im more worried about having a hole in the sky imagine this scene its a clear sky mid day the sky is blue and suddenly theres a hole with visible stars and the hole in atmosphere and suddenly its super cold the leaf turns to solid ice and the ground is slippery the cars are slipping out of control and walking on the grass a bit safer then on concrete
ironically that what happened once it was a simple day the trees were all green but after a simple rain the ground turned to ice it was ultra unusual pre summer season
these type of weather anomalies happens once in a lifetime i would be worried if it happened once a year or more
And now people see black clouds in Ohio

The scene where they get medical supplies on the ship where the wolves attacked them took me out of the movie so hard. The wolves just so happened to be the only animals that escaped in some magical way that never is explained, and they end up on the ship during the exact 10 minutes the protagonists are in there. Also, when they encounter them, the wolves go absolutely batshit insane in some sort of rabies driven rampage which is not actual wolf behaviour, generally they are pretty timid. It just felt like such a forced action scene just to have some obstacle our main characters could overcome, but most of all it just does not fit in at all; the entire movie is building up to this storm and wether or not they will survive it, but then suddenly 3 random wolves decide to ruin this guy's day because fuck em

@@chorizoramen93 Okay but how the fuck did the wolves get there, like they don't live in New York.
If I remember correctly, the wolves escaped the zoo. Which would probably mean they would fairly useless in the wild. I had a pet coyote as a child, bottle fed from about 3 days.

Took a direct hit from the strongest part of an EF4 tornado two years ago in a place not really known for tornados. Still homeless, actually.

Hearing a weather alert sends chills down my spine now.

No shower, no stove, no heating/cooling, but only a block away from her. It was basically a storage unit.
Meanwhile, the tornado-damaged house was rebuilt. Our old landlord had plans to sell it they must have changed because he just invited us back last month. We are still in the process of moving back in.
Yes, it was difficult to find housing when over 1,700 buildings/homes were damaged in a 48.9 mile long-track EF4 tornado. That shouldn’t be hard to believe. I couldn’t even get a storage unit in the same county because so many people were displaced with their own stuff in storage.
I didn’t even have a vehicle for the first year because it crushed my car and left me injured, DESPITE what the NWS report says about “zero injuries” in a DEADLY tornado (yes, it killed). I had to spend my 42 hundred car insurance check on the orthopedic surgeon, MRI, and physical therapy because I had a 5k deductible.
Perhaps you don’t know this, but Biden refused to declare the disaster for individual aid from FEMA though he DID declare it for surrounding states that were hit by weaker tornadoes from the same outbreak. His rationale was that Newnan had enough money to recover. Well, I didn’t get any of it. I work retail and all of Alan Jackson’s benefit concert proceeds went to a charity that I couldn’t even reach.
I hope this satisfies you.
@@dont-touch-mepg1392 Oh yeah: John Ossoff and Raphael Warnock appealed to Biden to change his stance on federal aid, but he did not. Meanwhile, he gaffed about how “they don’t call them ‘tornados’ anymore” in some weird exchange that was probably supposed to be about derechos. Still, it shows how little consideration he gave us. Meanwhile, the only other EF4 tornado that year was the tri-state tornado on Dec 10 where he was there on the ground ASAP. He never even visited us.
Now, since I responded to you within 16 minutes you know I didn’t have time to make any of this up. Most of these details are easy to verify and you can even find videos of it on my page.
@@ariadneschild8460 Thanks. You and I can imagine what the people in Maui are going through right now. Praying for them!
There was an entire sub-plot cut from this film too. Remember Taka, the guy who gets killed during the Tokyo hail storm? The phone call he gets in the original scene wasn't from his wife, but from a NYC stock broker as the FTC is cracking down on their insider trading scheme and Taka dies before he can get things covered up. That NYC stock broker is trying to weasel his way out of accountability and is the only one celebrating when the weather disasters take the focus off of him. He and his buddies trudge through the flooded streets of New York, where the board an out of service bus, that gets swept up in the tidal wave and eventually crushed under that Russian cargo ship.
So yeah, whole sub-plot about insider trading and securities fraud being more important than the climate, until it isn't.
I wondered who those guys on the bus were
'When you are scared of something you are also almost fascinated by it too'
This explains a lot of my fear of the ocean and seas, I grew up swimming a lot and I kept seeing these very big and scary fish and other sea creatures on the tv and I would hesitate to go to sea. But everytime I keep coming back to sea and those documentary shows and movies still giving me sleeping problems. I close my eyes and see those big and hostile looking fish.
I was always fascinated and terrified as kid by the fuel lines in the helicopter freezing instantly. I couldn’t comprehend any environment being that cold.
I think it's kind of fascinating how the media we consume as children can contribute to the phobias we develop later on. Like, using a personal example, I've developed a crippling phobia of most arthropods in general as a result of two particular scenes from very different things I saw as a kid, the first being from _Walking With Beasts_ where a newly hatched bird was eaten alive by giant ants and the second being a scene from _RL Stein's The Haunting Hour_ where a child was eaten alive in his bed by cockroaches. So it's nice to hear someone other than me developed a phobia thanks to the influence of a piece of media they saw.
I’ve developed a fear of being murdered after accidentally walking in on my cousin watching Doctor Who when I was 4 years old during a scene where the cyber men murdered a bunch of people at a party.
Really?? "Arachnophobia" had nothing at all to do with this?!?
I remember I had a huge fear of zombies due to some halloween specials of cartoons
I think the very same Walking With Beasts scene is why I struggle with insects too. Specifically swarms. That and the way the colonel dies in Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
@@rachelcookie321 this comment makes me feel so old, I remember watching that scene as a teenager 🤣
The flood scene was terrifying as a kid for me. Imagining yourself in that situation but the scene that really got me was the one with the helicopter pilots that froze in seconds. Having lived in Alaska when I watched this movie, it was a really scary possible reality as a kid. XD
scared me as a kid since I grew up near the water and not far from Mt St Helens. There's been a few crazy floods in my area in the distant past and both Mt St Helens and Mt Rainier are considered dangerous mountains and they're explosive enough to put large parts of the state at risk and western Washington is thought to be overdue for a massive earthquake as well.
Who the fk live in Alaska?

This is one of those movies I cherish because it's something my dad and I always watch together.
Even when I'm playing a game, he comes up to tell me "hey Day After Tomorrow is on" and I always put down whatever I'm doing.
The movie is silly, but I believe that is the films strength. It's also a time capsule to simpler times when movies were more about experiences (both dumb and fun) and not about building cinematic universes that are the equivalent of Chinese food where it's great for 2hrs but you'll forget it the next day.
Glad someone else shares the same admiration towards this film
I kind of love hearing that another person out there was scared shitless of tornadoes as a kid and that somehow led them to being obsessed with the weather. I was exactly the same I had tons of books, would look up stuff online, watch videos. I even went to this weeklong camp thing hosted by my dads workplace one summer that was themed around weather stuff. Always figured that because I was so scared of extreme weather I thought that learning about it would ease my fears.
How well did it work?
@Smustang Well I'm still terrified of tornadoes but now I can look at a weather map and whatnot and tell you all the meteorological terms for exactly what I'm afraid of lol
If it wasn't for that movie Twister, I wouldn't have been scared as a kid aswell. But I was eventually amused growing up, learning how goofy the storyline was
I actually enjoy the movie. The characters may not be memorable, but I keep coming back to this film for the disaster scenes. They are INTENSE. You actually see people die.
My family and I will often watch day after tomorrow and 2012 as a weekend disaster fest. We’ve watched both like 6 times over the years because they are incredibly fun to watch. Sure, they’re not the best, but they’re close to my heart because of the time I get to spend with my family having fun.
I love this channel for talking about irrelevant movies that everyone watched but no one remembers. It fills the void in my soul
I feel like you could make a global warming miniseries taking place over decades, with an individual “once in a lifetime disaster” in each episode.
That's not a bad idea.....
That's a good idea for a show. It would have a lot of artistic value, getting darker and darker as time goes on (both writing and visuals). The final episode could be the apocalypse happening because of so many natural disasters.
It'd really send a message about global warming.
So Earth 2100
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_2100
That would be the "perfect disaster" series.
It covers unusual large climate disasters in different continents (which made it more interesting imo).
"funny" thing is, that like 2/3rd of the depictet natural events already happened since the release of the series.
Just not necessarily where they depicted them.
Isn't that basically the last 3 years?! We're just on episode 4 and we're already on like the 10th once in a lifetime disaster!
I love how i was just recommended this movie and you have my exact obsession with this movie and fear of tornados
I must say, this movie started my trend of listening to disaster movie soundtracks, specifically the tracks that play during the disaster scenes. It was a weird obsession, listening to how composers convey tension and destruction through music. I found some good melodies among them, this movie include. Others would be Armageddon, which has a recurring doomy gloomy leitmotif for the asteroid, and Twister which has choirs singing when the tornado is onscreen to really make them feel like the fingers of God.
duo du du od duodudodu, DOOOOO, DOOOOOO, dodo do do do do do do DOOOOOOOOOOOO
Definitely check out the soundtrack to Independence Day then, it's got some fantastic dark brass writing for the alien ships and the destruction they wreak (pitted against some downright Star Wars esque heroic stuff for the humans). I really wish Emmerich hadn't stopped working with David Arnold tbh
@@LordMangudai I did listen to ID4 as well, I love The Darkest Day. And not gonna lie, his work on G98 had some good parts to it, the theme for the opening sequence encapsulated the horrific power of the atom bomb.
@@Mrcryptidsarereal the Godzilla 98 score deserved a better film, it slaps!
Finally someone else who listens to the soundtracks! I don't feel alone
As a former honors student who lived overseas and traveled a lot for school trips, yes. They were primarily attended because you wanted to get with someone else on the trip. Little strange? Sure, but it worked.
8:16 Thank you so much for pointing that out man, I know it is a little thing but it makes me happy that finally someone realized a false representation of us. A lot of people still believe we are Ottomans same as those from the beginning of 20th century. I was surprised you knew about this stuff.
As a German, the title the day after tomorrow will always be funny to me. The day after tomorrow has its own name, Übermorgen ("Over"-tomorrow) it also works the same way with yesterday, vorgestern ("pre"-yesterday ). The terms are both used like you’d use the regular tomorrow and yesterday in terms of frequency so this title just sounds something like "the day that comes after the current day" or something goofy like that even though it’s how you’d normally call it in English
Cool hello Germany 🇩🇪 🇫🇮
We also have the same thing in Farsi. We have پس فردا or Pas Farda (Pas means Over and Farda means tomorrow) so it's also a stupid and hilarious name the exact same way as your language.
We have something in my native tongue of English, it is overmorrow.
Ubermorgen does sound fantastically sinister if you don't speak German though
I am a German in Texas that is what people react to it being under 30 Fahrenheit
That bit about being terrified yet fascinated by weather really hit home. I was PETRIFIED of tornadoes, yet did everything I could to learn more about them.
I remember the hype this movie had.
There was an elaborate trailer for The Day After Tomorrow before The Secret Window.
And another one before Ban Helsing.
I remember the audience going, Woah!” At the sight of Manhattan covered in a glacier.
The opening day showing was a packed house too.
Last day of school 8th grade 2004.
I hate nostalgia 🙃

i’m so glad u included the shot of the british guy on the chopper freezing solid bc that’s the part that scared the shit out of 10yo me
Ok , semi serius note : from a thematic pov the second half is pretty good ,
Mostly because it's strangers helping each other when shit hit the fan ,
We need more of this nowadays i think ,
I also remember two caracter moments :
The homeless guy that suggested to burn books and use them as insulation from the cold ,
And the librarian that hangs on to the first printed bible , despite him not being a beliver , just because he thinks it's important to preserve it ...
It's kinda like cast away in wich tom hanks saves the package with the wings to have somenthing tonlive for ,
It's a bit of a teater to show what humans do to survive and keep being humans ...
So yeah surprisingly this movie has a bit of a heart/somenthing to say ,
It's likely incidental but eh , let's not beat emmerich too hard ...
you want characters; worldbuilding and dense mood
or just have 2 hours of mind melting loud SFX
Exactly, that was part of the reason I enjoyed the second half despite being much slower than the disaster-packed first half. A lot of humans died, but the human spirit endured.
@@senritsujumpsuit6021is it too much to ask for both ?
@@UGNAvalonyeah it's a lot more human than many other blockbusters i feel ...
I absolutely agree with this. As a kid, I used to be a little bored of the second half but as an adult, I like it more. It's optimism and human solidarity is hopeful and contagious. The father - son dynamic with Jack and Sam was always my favorite part. I still watch this movie with my dad on Father's day sometimes. We both like it.
I actually did take a class from a paleoclimatologist once. He wasn't supposed to be there. The guy who was supposed to teach the atmospheric science 101 class at my college went missing all of a sudden so they had to pull this grumpy computational climate modeler guy out of the basement and force him to teach the entry level class. He was super angry about this and got his revenge by making this 101 "rocks for jocks" blowoff course incredibly intense and difficult, which I thought was awesome, although I also almost flunked. Anyway he did talk a lot about global warming, and he *did* talk about hypercanes as a historical thing that could happen again. He never got into the north atlantic current thing, this was like 2003 so maybe if this had happened two years later he would have been fielding all these questions about The Day After Tomorrow. He mainly seemed concerned with farmland, like he said all the good arable land spots on earth is going to move around by hundreds of miles and there will be wars in places where suddenly entire countries can't grow food and suddenly their neighbors can, and what he called "feedback mechanisms", stuff like how there's a bunch of methane trapped in the arctic permafrost and so if the globe warms up too much the permafrost melts and releases the methane and warms things up even more. He said there were positive and negative feedback mechanisms, negative mechanisms that force the earth to stay at a particular point in the climate configuration space so that things can get jostled around a bit and they just return to normal on their own, and positive mechanisms that if you move *too* far away from the stable point they suddenly grab you like a conveyor belt and start moving you further and further away from the stable point. He described climate like this big N-dimensional map with a handful of stable equilibria, and as long as you're near a stable equilibrium you stay there but if you move too far away suddenly you get lurched to a new stable equilibrium and then you can't get out again. So at least one real paleoclimatologist around 2003 really did take seriously, and tell to just literally anyone who would listen to him for more than ten minutes, that it actually is possible for global warming to unpredictably lurch us into some completely new New Normal, much quicker than we expect, and lock us there. But I don't think he meant "a week", I think he meant like, "fast on geological time". He also did seem convinced the hypercane thing could happen, like, hurricanes that cover a third of the globe. He said it just has to get hot enough, and it's gotten hot enough before. It does have to get *pretty* hot, I think the going theory is that historical hypercanes would have been caused by the heat of a meteor impact. He also didn't suggest a hypercane could cause an ice age or whatever. The thing that concerned him about the hypercane is that it can, his words, "create its own fuel". Apparently storm systems are giant machines made of parcels of warm and cold air, and they consume warm air in the areas they're moving into and poop it out as cold rain. Normal storms eventually run out of warm air to eat but apparently hypercanes are so big they can get into a configuration where the hypercane somehow causes the earth to *create* new warm air for the hypercane to eat and the hypercane just *doesn't end*, paleoclimatology dude seemed to think it could it last for hundreds of years maybe. I just wanted to share that in case it comforts you
I enjoyed this immensely. Thanks for sharing.
damn your notes on his class must've been good
@@emmettbrown3463 It was very memorable lol
Thanks. This was a fun read. Gonna go down the shifting arable land rabbit hole now XD
Hypercanes are hypothesized to have accomplished several mass extinctions, one key example is The Great Dying where they were made out of poisonous gas instead of regular air. They aren't a part of any realistic predictions for global warming since you need something like large scale volcanism or a meteor impact to mess up the atmosphere enough to create them. However global droughts and desertification is absolutely going to happen, because it is already happening. One fun consequence of this is that tropical diseases like Malaria will move further north into places like Europe, East Asia and North America.
If I may make a disaster movie recommendation for a future video: the 1997 Volcano was one I really enjoyed.
Also, the one thing that always stuck in my mind about this movie was: what's going on at the equator during all this? Like, there's no way it's still the new Ice Age in the tropics, or even the sub-tropics, even if the Gulf Stream and other ocean currents were disrupted enough to stop entirely and even if there were arctic anti-hurricanes that got stronger with cold.
This movie. Independence Day. Moonfall....I don't know what it is but I'm obsessed with the way Roland Emmerich writes and directs movies. Yeah, they're not good but they live on prime continental sized real estate, rent free, in my mind.
I'd love if you could do one of these for "Contagion" (relate it back to the COVID pandemic and how everyone in that movie is too damn competent), and "The Core", probably the only movie that can rival the Day After Tomorrow as my guilty pleasure disaster-flick
Contagion is a genuinely smart and good movie though. They were talking about social distancing in like 2012.
@@Kaanfight That's because people were warning about a Covid-like outbreak ever since SARS, Obama had an entire program based around preventing it that got shut down in the early days of the Trump admin.
Contagion is good. Very good actually.
If something like Bird Flu mutated to transmit human-human, it would really be that bad.
Tens, if not hundreds of millions would die. In fact, that film might actually hold back a bit from reality.
Covid was quite severe, but nowhere near as severe as some influenza strains. We are severely, hilariously unprepared for an ACTUAL pandemic.
@@Kaanfight The issue with it is that though, people are way too rational and as Covid-19 showed us that is not the case.

This movie always makes me feel cozy, the perfect movie to watch while a fire blazes away in the fireplace.
Twister absolutely terrified me. Somehow every time I watched it (as a child) the local tornado siren would do a "test." I'd already lost a house at that age (to weather; lightning strike, fire) so I guess I'm just now realizing the impact it had. geez.
When they run into the barn filled with blades: "Who ARE these people!?" - - Best line in the movie.

"Is this how honor students hook up?" Yes. As a former quiz bowl team captain, yes it is.
This and 2012 are my favorite disaster movies for sure! They're soo fun.
I remember learning about The Day After Tomorrow years ago through one of the tornado books in my elementary school's library. For the longest time I genuinely thought the movie was some campy drama film that just happened to have a tornado scene in it, and I was pleasantly surprised to be proven wrong when I finally got the chance to watch it.
Thanks for reminding me of every tree in Austin exploding and every power line freezing to death a few weeks ago here. It truly was the Day Last Week A Month Ago Before Tomorrow.
The trees exploded? Is that why they're all chopped down near the highway?
@@diktatoralexander88 Yeah the recent ice storm stayed at about an even 30 degrees in burger units, which kept things wet during the day and frozen at night. The trees got soaked down to the core with wet ice, which built up and caused it to expand and "explode". Tree limbs fell everywhere and broke power lines and cars.
@@Wisehowlgames Damn its just weird here. The snow was rock solid and iced on the sidewalk. I skated my way to the road and did spins. Never gets weird like that up in Utah.

Looking forward hopefully to a video about the film Twister in anticipation of the sequel. That's the film in my childhood that really really gave me the tornado terror.
Funny thing. The two arguing about the book is one of the few things I remember about this movie. Along with one of the survivors going for help being frozen in their sleep.
I think I read somewhere that Trey Park and Matt Stone (the creators of South Park) were able to get a ahold of this movies script before it hit theaters. They wanted to quickly make it into a film like Team America and release it before the actual movie. The only thing that stopped them were their lawyers and warnings of massive lawsuits.

The 2 didnt know each other well enough to be enemies and the man Cheney shot was highly supportive of the Bush Administration and helped get Bush elected so they were professionally aligned/allied so shooting him gained Cheney nothing and cost him a huge scandal and greatly worsened his already low popularity.
