Many guessed that this would happen. That the invasion will happen again. This was especially felt by those who already had to repel the attack of alien invaders. Therefore, they prepared and believed that this time would cost less. Who are these heroes? Let's talk about Independence Day. The actors of the two films and the roles they performed are reviewed by us further.
Part one
So, on July 2, 1996, a huge ship flies up to Earth. The population is in a panic, but the government is asking not to worry and not to take any action against uninvited guests. Until it becomes clear that the visit is aggressive, because the aliens are beginning to destroy the capitals of the world.
The next day, the US air force decides to attack the enemy, but cannot penetrate its protective field, which is why they lose part of their fleet. And only the pilot - Stephen Hiller, destroys one of the enemy ships, luring him into the Grand Canyon. Then he takes the alien prisoner and brings to the base. There they learn that the guests here are not for long, they simply devastate the Earth and go to another planet.
Then the government attacks the main ship with a cruise nuclear missile, but again fails. And then the scientist David Levinson gives the idea to infect him with a computer virus in order to try to disable the protective field. The next day, they, together with Stephen Hiller, fly up to the ship and load the virus, and then destroy it with a nuclear charge.
Part two
20 years after the first alien attack, just before the celebration of Independence Day, a suspicious spherical spaceship creeps up to the earth. Earthlings already prepared for such a situation immediately destroy it with a laser beam.
True, I did not have to rejoice for a long time, because the signal of the sphere had already caught a giant plate of aliens, which, having landed in the Atlantic Ocean, began to absorb the core of the planet with the help of a huge drill. And, despite the fact that over the past years, earthlings are well prepared for the next invasion, all of their technologies were not enough to stop the impending threat. Therefore, they will again have to find the enemy’s weak spot.
It is interesting that many who played in the first film "Independence Day" actors continued shooting in the next part. About them below and will be discussed.
Jeff Goldblum
In both parts, he played the scientist and one of the savior of the world - David Levinson. Now he is the director of the Earth Defense Program. And who else should occupy such an honorable position, because it was he who came up with how to stop the aliens. And when the war ended, David did not calm down, but continued to study alien technology in order to be ready for a new invasion. And he was not mistaken.
Of course, Jeff Goldblum starred in other projects, in addition to the first part and the second film "Independence Day: Revival." Actors who have received first-rate roles in such large-budget films are usually not newcomers. Jeff Goldblum is known for his films California Poker, Fly, Jurassic Park 1, 2, Cats Against Dogs and others. Moreover, during his career, he has repeatedly become an Oscar and Emmy nominee.
Bill pullman
Thomas Whitmore - President of the United States from the first part, appeared in the second film. Thanks to his inspirational speech, all the peoples of the earth came together to fight the aliens. And it was under his control that a war was fought with alien invaders. True, the events that occurred then left a strong imprint on his mind. It was as if he began to hear the aliens, so he was sure that they would return soon.
Bill Pullman is an American actor who has played in such films as Ruthless People, Cosmic Eggs, Sleepless in Seattle, While You Sleep, Ultra-Americans, etc. In addition, he produces theater plays and lectures. at the University of Montana.
Judd Hirsch
Not without father David - Julius Levinson. He, as before, loves his son and always supported all his hobbies. Julius remembers the events of twenty years ago and even wrote a book about it, which he sells in a nursing home for $ 10 per copy. Well, now he has every chance of a second work, because at the time of the new invasion he was closest to the enemy.
Like the other actors on the Independence Day (film), Judd Hirsch has experience in the film industry. He gained great fame thanks to his television career, starring in the sitcom "Dear John" and "Taxi". And for this he received two Emmy Awards. It can also be found in the films “Mind Games”, “How to Steal a Skyscraper”, “Wherever You Are,” etc.
Brent Spiner
Probably, the actors who got into the second film “Independence Day” were surprised if they had not seen Brent Spiner on the set. Even a deep coma, into which he fell even in the first film, did not prevent the return of Dr. Okun. Miraculously, he woke up at the time of the next attack. This fussy scientist immediately joined in the work, because, like the former president, he felt the aliens were approaching.
The most famous Brent Spiner became after the role of Lieutenant Data in the series "Star Trek". He also starred in the films “Where is my car, dude?”, “Heavy Heart”, “Master of Disguise”, “I am Sam”, etc.
Vivica Fox
The actress again played Jasmine Dubrow - the mother of Dylan Hiller, who followed in the footsteps of his father, who died during the test of a new fighter. Only now she does not engage in dancing, as was the first part. Her vocation was to work in the field of health - saving lives and giving birth. She is very proud of her son, albeit worried about him.
Like the rest of the actors who migrated from the first part of the film “Independence Day”, Vivika Fox has already managed to build a film career, starring in many films, including “Don't Threaten South Central”, “Challenge”, “Food for the Soul”, “Game for Two” "," Kill Bill "and others.
By the way, the second film earned far less positive reviews. Although the actors in the film “Independence Day 2” are actors, they believe that it turned out to be more dynamic and spectacular. Maybe this is so, because the special effects of Roland Emmerich turned out to be of high quality. Or maybe they expect to get into the next part, if, of course, it will be.
