'2012' is based upon the world ending in the year 2012, the film shows how the world as we know it will cease to exist. As the earth's core increases rapidly increases scientists begin to draw up plans for ships to be constructed so that they and the rich members of society may survive. However one average Joe and his family are saved all due to him accidentally finding out about the ships. As the world begins to crumble away and submerge back into the sea we watch as Jackson and his family come across many obstacles, trials and tribulations as well as the loss of some of the close members of the group. The film truly hits home to the audience as it's something that could be going on now but none of the general public would find out until it was indeed to late.
The film has no direct relation to my project but Jackson, his son Noah and his ex wife Kate's new boyfriend Gordon relationship could be seen as having some comparison. This being because the friction between Jackson and the Gordon is shown through the now strained between Jackson and his biological son Noah. Noah seems to believe that Jackson gives Gordon a hard time for no reason and has even stopped referring to him as dad but instead Jackson. This could be seen as the friction between Grace and her boss due to her sexuality leads to friction being caused between her and her girlfriend of how many years.
"I'm watching the Earth crumble before my eyes! A giant ash cloud, created by this supervolcano, will first envelop Vegas... and then St. Louis... and then Chicago... and at long last Washington, D.C. will have its lights go out!"
