Abstract

Filmovi katastrofe su poseban i specifičan filmski žanr koji zauzima značajni dio filmske produkcije u Hollywoodu. Ovaj žanr ima potencijal uhvatiti srž svakog razdoblja jer prati društvene događaje kroz desetljeća i vuče inspiraciju iz stvarnih katastrofa. Hollywoodska produkcija prepoznala je koje će velike zvijezde angažirati te koja je tematika popularna kod publike što je rezultiralo velikim uspješnicama filmova katastrofe. U ovome radu cilj istraživanja je bio otkriti vole li ljudi filmove katastrofe te utječe li ovaj žanr na ljudske emocije. Također, bilo mi je važno saznati jesu li stvarne katastrofe koje smo nedavno doživjeli poput COVID-19 pandemije i potresa utjecali na stavove ljudi o filmovima katastrofe. Istraživanje je pokazalo da ljudi većinom vole filmove katastrofe, ali ih neće uvijek gledati već to ovisi o raspoloženju, filmu i vremenu. Također, gledanost filmova katastrofe ne ovisi o emocijama koje fim potakne kod ljudi već o kvaliteti filma i radnje. Naposljetku, pandemija i potresi nisu utjecali na stavove ljudi o filmovima katastrofe što pokazuje da je film umjetnost koja služi za zabavu, opuštanje i bijeg od stvarnosti bez obzira koje je tematike.

Abstract (english)

Disaster film is a special and specific type of movie genre that takes an important part in Hollywood film production. This genre has potential to catch the essence of every time period because it follows social events throughout the decades and it draws inspiration from real life catastrophes. Hollywood production has recognized which celebrity is a good fit for the film and which movie theme is popular for the audience. This resulted with big disaster film sucess. The main objective of this thesis was to find out if people love disaster movies and if this genre has an effect on peoples emotions. Furthermore, it was important for me to detect whether if real disasters that we recently experienced like COVID-19 pandemic and earthquakes affected peoples view on disaster movies. Research showed that people in general like disaster movies but wheter they will watch it or not depends on their mood, movie type and amount of time they have. Also, viewership of disaster movies does not depend on peoples emotions that this genre triggers, but on the quality of the film and movie plot. Lastly, pandemic and earthquakes did not affected peoples opinion about disaster movies. This shows that the movie is art for fun, relaxation and escape from reality.
