Last week’s post on Nature and Natural Disasters made me think more about earthquakes. The same week, I finished watching the first season of the Apple TV show “Pachinko” in which one episode includes an earthquake that rocks Japan. I began thinking about portrayals of earthquakes in films. How are the sensory and continental forces portrayed? What existential questions do characters face? How are earthquakes used to further a movie’s plot? What are the best ways to depict the grand scale of an earthquake and its forces? What questions do they make us reckon with about our own humanity?
