Impression about ±2℃

The first time I saw the movie ±2℃ is at the Friday meeting with classmates this March. In fact, it is heartbroken and terrifying for Taiwaness to watch this movie; not only because the reality we encountered are dangerous for living, but many people do not notice the disappear crisis of Taiwan and they still think the situation is not relative to them.

I was impressed by the experiences last summer for how 88 typhoon disaster distroyed southern Taiwan. In fact, it was not the strongest level typhoon, but it created the highest destroying in econimic lost in history. I am a southern Taiwan resident indeed. Therefore, I was locked at home for 3 days from Augest 7 to Augest 9, since the rain didn't stop at the time. I remembered the day in the mid-night about 2AM, I just finished taking a shower on second floor at home and was going to another room for drying my hair. The water has entered into my room so fast that I didn't know when it started. Later I was hurried screaming to my brother who are in third floor for help. The first floor was not overwhelm; indeed, it is because the main scupper on the balcony outside our second floor was blocked in. In this case, we just stayed up for 2 hours to ladle out water out of the house on the second floor and then we felt safe. But it is still confused for me to figure out how a mid level typhoon could make us so nervous until I watch this movie.

It is said:" Rome is not created in one day." The resault of the 88 typhoon disaster is the same. The Formosa is nowaday a hell rather than a beautiful island. Since Taiwaness didn't cherish the resources; for example, they plant betel nuts from acreages to acreages rather than plant deep-root plant, they explode mountains again and again in order to build roads or reservoirs. More and more citizens in Taiwan became so selfish only that they plan many projects only thought about benifits as their intention and not take others's benifits and safeness into considerations. ±2℃ really touched my soul and reminded me of some affairs happened last summer as well. In this case, I appreciate the famous Taiwan hand painterer, Jimmy make the scences of the movie into cartoon and ad. I'd like to show you below:
