From fiction to reality

Los Angeles, San Francisco and Las Vegas are towns of perpetual cinematic destruction. One of the main reason is because these towns are iconic and recognizable. There is a lot of climatic and geological events, furthermore they are all three around the San Andreas Fault (that implies a lot of earthquakes and volcanos). The movies that are shot there are mainly apocalyptic like: “2012” in Las Vegas ( 2009) or “ San Andreas” (2015). They are also well-known to produce zombie or alien attacks (like “Mars Attacks“ 1996, “Resident Evil: Extinction” 2007). These cities are overcrowded, that’s another reason why they are chosen for these films. The natural disasters in these films are linked to the unstable situation of these cities on geographical level.

I prefer the story "Solitude" than the others because we feel the fear many times by the descritpiton of the landscape and the visual elements. So this is interesting because we stay in all of the story in a apocalyptic mood. Indeed, the question that the narrators asks about the situation is good to makes suspens and sensitizes the reader to the danger that the character feels. I also like the fact that Tomy is determined to save Jolly Jumper despite the fear not to know why he is alone.
