COMPARISON AND ANALYSIS
The end of the world will come, and have no effect. People will say, "Oh, yeah. I saw that movie." as they're foraging through the rubble.
The End Of The World
Both happen the same way: aliens. They come to earth in their ships, take stuff, and destroy the planet, etc. However, some significant differences must be noted in regards to the movie:
They cleverly used actors who have done work in the science-fiction field, and are well recognized for their work. The Conspiracy's favourite operative, Will Smith, is a box office smash and a dedicated suppressor of the Truth.
Even a personal favourite of mine, Jeff Goldblum, was used. There is no limit to how far They will go.
Jeff Goldblum, Brent Spiner, Bill Pullman, Robert Loggia, Dean Devlin, Roland Emmerich with Governor Bob Miller of Nevada. Don't they look happy?
WHAT NOW?!?!
I needed to somewhere express my utter disgust at how terribly Amerikan this film was. I had to restrain myself from puking during the president's Independence Day speech. And the way the Amerikans saved the rest of the world was pitiful. The rest of the world does not idolize you, as you would like to believe. They think you are stupid, lazy, obnoxious, violent, arrogant, rude, etc. You are not the heroes of the planet: never were and never shall be. You can take your Manifest Destiny and shove it up your plasma injector.
