舊金山大地震
您曾看過以真實災難為背景的電影嗎？
重建災難現場並以其為實際腳本的電影大行其道，因而描述舊金山大地震的電影也不落人後。這部影片攝於紐約市內的一家片廠，它重建了一個小規模的舊金山商業區模型，而且一場大火幾乎燒燼了整座城市。雖然製作人可能希望觀眾相信這是真實的發生過程，但事實上，大火零星的散佈在市內各區而且火勢也並非如電影所呈現的那般一發不可收拾；比起剛起步的電影，現在的電腦特效就事件場景看起來真實許多；您相信這是真實事件嗎？或您知道這是事件的重建演出？
Have you ever seen a movie based on a real life disaster? Films that re-created a disaster and pretended it was actual footage became very popular, and the depiction of the San Francisco earthquake was no exception. In this film, which was shot in a studio in New York City, you see a small-scale model of downtown San Francisco and fires that destroyed much of the city. Although the producers probably wanted viewers to believe this was the real event, in actuality the fires were more widely scattered than the ones in the film and the flames never got quite that big. Today, special effects makes things look much more realistic than they did when movies were just beginning. Would you have believed this was the real thing, or would you know it was a re-creation of the event?
