The Endings

How will the world end ? Well maybe something like this... according to DISASTER, APOCALYPTIC and POST-APOCALYPTIC MOVIES.

It's not the end of the world that we crave, but what comes after the end of the world. Apocalyptic narratives allow us to imagine our world being reborn, with us having a second chance to rebuild it from scratch.

The end of the world is a modern obsession. Doomsday is something that has been happening since the beginning of time, we are just obsessed with it more now than ever before.But the END never actually comes. The world never ends, even in the stories. Millions, billions even die, as is required in any apocalyptic tale, but life will proceed.
