Apocolypse and Pop-Culture

The Terminator, one of the most popular movies of the 80’s, contains more killing than the average action film. This is one way in which pop-culture push

. . .
The world has grown immune to apocalyptic fright and has come to accept the end of existence. The writers do all they can to create an appealing character that can escape or defeat when faced with the evil eyes of the apocalypse. This movie is a prime example of escaping the end of the world and it plants the idea that the human race is virtually untouchable, even from raging robots. “‘We have to boil our water,’ Steffie said. And as people continue to have children, pop-culture will have evolved so much that “the end” will encompass them even more than the previous generation. It will become one huge inevitable cycle. This is an example of how society has driven people to feel that everyone is a hero. People and children relate to heroes better than anything else because it allows for an opening for hope in their lives. Why turn from something that has such an appeal? There is no reason; therefore people are drawn to it. For this reason, Jack and Babette fear death in a matter that cannot be helped, whereas their children just accept it. Pop-culture does all it can to attract people, and there is no better way then to use visual effects in an apocalyptic picture. It is strange to hear a song, such as REM’s “It’s the End of the World As We Know It”, that makes the end of the world seem like a joyous event. So if exposure to death occurs continuously, it becomes more acceptable because it is something that should occur. It is merely a piece of entertainment.
