La sfarsitul saptamanii trecute, America a fost la un pas de Apocalipsa. Nu cea financiara, ci una meteorologica. Ecranele televiziunilor de stiri au fost invadate de culori stridente si de pavlovianul mesaj “breaking news”. Uraganul Irene se apropia de Coasta de Est. Autoritatile au transmis avertizari. De la Casa Alba au plecat, sambata, 25 de emailuri pentru a informa presa despre cumplitul eveniment. Statul pazea, presa informa. Oamenii erau in pragul disperarii. Au dat iama in magazine si si-au facut stocuri. Se pregateau pentru ce e mai rau. Forta naturii risca sa mature “orasul care nu doarme niciodata”. Reporterii de la fata locului se intreceau in transmisii memorabile si in cuvinte cutremuratoare. Presedintele si-a anulat vacanta. FEMA (agentia pentru situatii de urgenta) a mizat pe concizie: “Stay inside. Stay safe”. A fost decretata starea de urgenta in sapte state. Aeroportul din New York a anulat toate cursele. Primarul Bloomberg a cerut evacurea a 250.000 de oameni. Ar fi vrut ca si mai multi oameni sa-si paraseasca locuintele insa nu avea “suficienta mana de lucru ca sa mearga din usa in usa si sa-i scoate pe oameni din case”. Marea confruntare se apropia. Omul contra Naturii. Intr-un final, cand a atins marele oras, marele uragan s-a transformat intr-o furtuna tropicala. Vorba poetului: “Nu e soare, dar e bine/ Si pe rau e numai fum/ Vantu-i linistit acum/ Dar navalnic vuiet vine/ De pe drum”. In cazul de fata, vuietul nu venea de la copiii cu sanii, ci de la reporterii agitati. Si, la un moment dat, au trebuit sa se linisteasca in fata evidentelor tot mai firesti. Aceasta isterie nu a fost doar o competitie tembela pentru ratinguri, intre televiziuni ce se concureaza in a vinde sfarsitul lumii. E si asta, dar nu cred ca primeaza. “Tendinta” ultimilor ani a fost de a crea panica in randul oamenilor din orice, prin orice mijloace, dar mai ales prin mass media si prin superproductii holywoodiene. Si oarecum surprinzator este sa vezi cum viata copiaza filmul. Sau mai precis, cum filmul inspira viata... In anul 2004 a aparut “The day after tomorrow” in care New York-ul se confrunta cu o panica teribila generata de schimbari climatice. Haos, criza si populatie innebunita de a scapa unde vede cu ochii. E imposibil ca cineva care a vazut pelicula si s-a uitat in weekend la televiziunile de stiri sa nu fi remarcat similitudinile de abordare. Afisul fimului prezenta Statuia Libertatii acoperita de gheturi. De asemenea, in acest an a aparut “2012: Ice Age”, o productie relativ similara, macar si prin prisma afisului, aceeasi statuie acoperita de gheata si zapada. Si e la fel de uimitor cat de frecvente si de populare au devenit in ultimii ani filmele apocaliptice. Care nu ataca doar problema climatica, ci si pe cea extraterestra (vezi filme ca Independence Day, I Robot, War of the Worlds, Battle of Los Angeles, Battlefield Earth, etc) recent consacrata de respectabilitatea unui economist cu premiu Nobel precum Paul Krugman si de rapoarte “acreditate” de NASA. Asadar, daca vreti sa urmariti dinainte stirile bomba de maine ale televiziunilor (americane) inchiriati-va cateva dvd-uri cu blockbustere. Nu merita banii, pierdeti cateva ore bune, dar macar veti fi mai calmi la urmatoarea apocalipsa transmisa in direct. |
