Summary

Adam exposes how The Day After Tomorrow dramatizes science, how it attempts to prepare the viewer for moments of emotional significance, and how Roland Emmerich reels in world-spanning plots into simple parables. As always, we have our theories as to why Emmerich uses specific lenses, staging, and POV to evoke a thesis and an emotional response from you. Does it work? Will we ever figure out what’s happening with the podcast’s introduction guy? Is he dead? Is he a ghost? What’s going on there?
