"Monster" doesn't look like a typical Hollywood monster movie. Hollywood-style monsters always flash a small corner from time to time to intimidate the audience, and they don't reveal their true colors until the last few minutes of the movie. "Alien" and "Predator" are such monsters The best example of film. The monster in "Monster" jumped from the river to the land to wreak havoc in the first ten minutes of the movie. You can clearly see the appearance of this monster, an amphibian mutated due to pollution, like a long A big fish with four legs. Monsters bring fear to the city like Godzilla.
People who were supposed to unite to deal with the monsters started to create chaos. Quarantine people who are obviously not infected by monsters, and falsely claim that patients who died of other causes died of monster infection, and spray the city with disinfectant endlessly. These are man-made fears. What's even more irritating is that in order to subdue the monster, the old beauty used the yellow signal flare of the biological and chemical weapon that was bluffing and hurting people.
"Monster" alludes to the imbecility of the old beauty and the disgusting face of the international police. At the beginning, the irresponsible old American scholar ordered the chemicals to be poured into the sewer. After that, the damage caused by the monster was all caused by the old American. Then the seemingly strict old American doctor kept lying on the media and spreading fear. Old Mei's usual style, when she got into a lot of trouble, but didn't know how to clean up, she just took out that flashy yellow flare to save mankind.
Under the fear, the relationship between people has become delicate. The original good friend betrayed the friend who is being edited, but the stranger can gather together to deal with the monster. The poor little girl used her thin body to protect another young life in the monster's lair. The girl herself was deeply in fear, but she bravely hugged the little boy in her arms and made the little boy hungry. The body feeds itself on fantasies. At that moment, the little girl was like a mature woman protecting her child.
Because the monster came and robbed the little girl and united the family, they killed the monster in the most primitive way. The three of them were like Olympic athletes, throwing every gasoline bottle to make the monster have nowhere to escape. The shot arrow hit the monster's vital point, and finally ended the monster's life by throwing a javelin. Although the way of eradicating monsters is relatively primitive, it is best to make a mockery of Laomei's advanced high-tech weapons.
At the end of the film, in that silent night, the sky was snowing, and under the dim light, the old man guarded the little boy who was rescued from the monster's mouth. It was a warm picture, and it was completely impossible to see that they had faced such a terrifying sight. Monster, love in the heart conquers fear.
