Are we all living in a fool's paradise? Is Japan's nuclear accident more serious than we know? I read today that the radioactive water is running into the sea. That can't be good. Since most of us know nothing about nuclear waste, are we the unknowing masses in the science fiction horror film who are completely in the dark while the leading characters work feverishly to bring the disaster under conrol? Is there a multi-billionaire villain sweating it out, hoping the problem is fixed before he has to admit defeat and fly off with his family to a remote aerie before an angry mob tears him apart? Or will the anxious scientists and workers seal those renegade reactors in concrete and give each other high fives knowing the world has been saved? And, if so, will the last scene of this movie be an aerial shot of an American reactor, followed by a medium shot of a worker leaning back in his chair, chatting on his cell phone, just as we hear a shrill screaming of a malfuction alert. The End.
