Director Chung Discusses Climate Stance in 'Twisters'

Lee Isaac Chung, director of the upcoming film 'Twisters,' has emphasized that the movie is not meant to push any specific messages, including on climate change. Chung stated that cinema should reflect the world rather than preach, aiming to showcase the 'awe and wonder' of tornadoes without making the film message-oriented. Despite omitting direct references to climate change, the film subtly acknowledges changing weather patterns through its characters' dialogues. The decision aligns with Chung's belief that films should entertain while reflecting reality, rather than serving as platforms for specific agendas. The movie, a sequel to the 1996 hit 'Twister,' features Glen Powell and Daisy Edgar-Jones and has received mostly positive reviews ahead of its release.
