At AMC this week I talk about environmental disasters and fantasy film. Think there’s no connection? Ha! I say, ha! Strip-mining, invasive species and famine, oh my.
Weather often plays an important role in setting the mood of a movie. I mean, how many times have our heroes battled through wind and rain until they finally triumph and the sun comes out? In fantasy, the connection between the environment and the health of the country is even more direct, near blatant. To celebrate Earth Day, I thought we’d take a tour of the environmental woes that plague our fantasy heroes.
Swing by and tell me about your favorite fantastic disasters..
