Koncz, LindaVillas Boas, Alex2024-02-282024-02-282024-02-162077-1444http://hdl.handle.net/10400.14/44084Through the perspective of ‘catastrophising thought’, this work undertakes a comparative analysis of five post-apocalyptic films dealing with climate migration: Waterworld, Snowpiercer, Interstellar, Mad Max: Fury Road and Mortal Engines in order to identify recurring themes within their dystopian societies. These narratives share an apocalyptic literary approach, intertwining biblical elements to draw a subjectivity that enables us to see the end of our known world order simultaneously as a new beginning. In the plots, technological development is related to the disrespect of ecological harmony and, therefore, extreme climate conditions. The changes in the films’ narratives lead to a new kind of spirituality and a new concept of home. This article concludes by evaluating how these findings relate to the real, contemporary world.engClimateMigrationFutureDystopiaPost-apocalypseFilmHomeCatastropheNarrativejournal article10.3390/rel1502023185185962004001172291000001
