Well, this isn’t exactly a spoiler, but it seems worth talking about: Despite… Tornadoes Being a film about extreme weather conditions, released at a time when the Earth is experiencing many extreme weather conditions due to climate change, the film seemingly never mentions climate change. absolutely.
If I’m confused, then you are too, but don’t worry, because… Tornadoes Director Lee Isaac Chung recently told CNN why the film doesn’t address, you know, arguably the biggest problem currently threatening life as we know it on this rock (NBD).
“I just wanted to make sure the movie didn’t convey any message,” he said. “I just don’t think movies should be message-oriented.”
“I think what we’re doing is showing the reality of what’s happening on the ground,” he added. “We’re not afraid to say that things are changing. I wanted to make sure that we never create the feeling that we’re preaching a message, because that’s not what I think cinema should be about.”
“I think (cinema) should be a reflection of the world,” he added.
Well, I’ll tell you what: the world isn’t going to get any better anytime soon! Anyway, check out the trailer one more time before you head to the theater this Friday:
