The movie Twister is one of the classic movies that had a great impact on American cinema especially in the nineties It was first shown in 1996 and achieved great success because it combined excitement adventure and advanced technology at the time The story revolves around a group of meteorologists specifically a team led by Dr Jo Harrison whose main goal was to study hurricanes especially the destructive hurricanes that hit different areas in the United States.
From the moment the events begin the movie does not let you leave the TV or the screen because the excitement and adventure are at every moment Jo and her team are trying to develop a new device that helps them understand hurricanes better so they can predict the path of hurricanes and warn people before destruction occurs But the obstacle they face is that this device must be installed and operated in the middle of the hurricanes themselves meaning in the middle of the greatest danger that a person can face.
The most distinctive thing in the movie is the visual effects At the time of the films release these effects were considered the latest cinematic techniques especially in depicting huge tornadoes that destroy everything in their path The tornado in the film is not just something that threatens the characters it is a huge terrifying creature that poses a real threat to life The effects were so realistic that you felt the danger to a great extent.
The relationship between the characters was also an important part of the story There was a kind of tension between Joe and her exhusband Bill played by Helen Hunt but despite the differences there was great cooperation between them to achieve their common goal This relationship adds a human layer to the story not just the threat of tornadoes.
The film also wonderfully reflects the relationship between man and nature The characters despite the danger of what they do are not afraid of the tornadoes themselves as much as they are afraid of their lack of understanding of them They are not trying to stop tornadoes but they are trying to study this phenomenon so that they can protect people from it in the future.
Twister is not just a movie about tornadoes its a movie that combines excitement science technology and the human situations around which everything revolves.
