Twisted Twister

            I found a movie that I enjoyed very much. It showed the harsh reality of what tornados can do to families and communities. Today we have the wonder of Hollywood so they were able to digitally put in tornadoes. The actors at times were in places that they realistically couldn't be. I think the movie could have also raised a lot of questions about tornado awareness throughout the world.
             Some of the words that were used in Twister were quite interesting. For example all of the F5s, F4s, F3s, etc. categories of tornadoes were used. They measure how much damage has been done. They also mentioned the moment of silence. During a tornado this happens, many people become deceived and think the tornado is gone when in fact it's probably right on top of them. In the movie the storm chasers had a lot of equipment. It was interesting hearing the words I learned in the movie.
             There were a lot of stretched or invalid things that happened because of the advanced technology we have in modern times. You can't stand that close to a tornado and not be killed or blown away. Your car can't drive through a fire ball with the windows down and not be damaged. I doubt your cell phone would work that close to a F4. It's highly unlikely to just drive through a house that easily. When they are in the tornado they don't get hit by debris. Also Joe's car crashes after being sucked up in the tornado and the windshield wipers are still working. The invalid facts were the only thing that bugged me about this movie. However, I understand that they can't kill off the main characters in the first fifteen minutes.
             I think Twister is an excellent movie. There are invalid facts and misleading story lines but the awareness that people get is worth it. Some people who have not had as much tornado awareness as other could watch and discuss the movie. After they have seen it they might feel confident in asking questions.
