WHAT IS IT ABOUT DISCLOSURE DAY?
Let's get right into the plot.
In The day of revelationcybersecurity expert Daniel Kellner (Josh O’Connor) steals information from the Wardex corporation, which details a seven-decade government conspiracy to cover up the existence of extraterrestrial visits to Earth. Throughout the film, Kellner is on the run from agents sent by Wardex boss Noah Scanlon (Colin Firth), who try to recover what was stolen, while guided by Hugo Wakefield (Colman Domingo), a former member of the conspiracy who is now the main defender of the public disclosure of information about extraterrestrials, and a faithful believer that the truth is the right of every person. Meanwhile, Kansas City meteorologist Margaret Fairchild (Emily Blunt), also ends up fleeing from the conspirators after unknowingly transmitting a message in an extraterrestrial language in the middle of a live broadcast on the news program where he works.
Scanlon (Firth) reminds us of the antagonistic classics of the 80s, those who, without going too deep into their motivations, make them clear. Here, we have a man with little faith in humanity, who wants to rule based on fear, and a firm defender of having control, and of believing that secrets are a fundamental part of social peace.
Margaret (Blunt), Daniel (O'Connor), and the group of rebels counter Scanlon's arguments, governed by empathy above all else. Empathy is a virtue and a tool for evolution. The first message from the aliens to humans, and the motto within the script written by David Koeppmakes it clear: “Do not fear what you do not know.”
By the way, Koepp's script is based on an original story by Spielberg.
SPIELBERG DOES WHAT HE DOES BEST
For its part, Blunt is on another level, delivering a wonderfully stellar performanceand one of the strongest of his career, masterfully handling a role that requires versatility and vulnerabilityforming part of the most captivating and memorable moments of the film. It's time for his second Oscar nomination.
And what to say about the master's original soundtrack John Williams. Recognizable at the first measure. Hearing it again in a Spielberg production is the dream of every film buff who has grown up with this duo. Another frequent associate of the director, Janusz Kaminskiis in charge of the cinematography, which looks exquisite.
Disclosure Day combines emotion, spectacle, and science fiction, maintaining a very human and hopeful core. On the surface, the story is about aliens. But at its core, it's about us, or more specifically, about how Spielberg perceives humanity. This cinema experience will satisfy the desire for blockbuster production of many viewers.
At the end of the day, Spielberg's proposal with Disclosure Day, It is an invitation to trust him, while he works his magic. His return to science fiction is executed with precision and emotion. The legendary director stands before us, doing what he does best.
