Love in the Age of Doomsday

Let’s not talk about special effects and acting skills. Let’s briefly talk about the theme and idea of ​​the film – the hero and heroine are finally together forever, but they are all dead. I think this should be the most reasonable ending! Through hard work and struggle, they were freed and got the results they wanted. They deliberately did not escape the disaster, but calmly faced and accepted "God's baptism." I think this behavior is in line with the ideology and beliefs of that era - light honor and righteousness! Even three or five minutes of tenderness is better than countless people in the world. This is the true meaning and meaning of love. If the two are lucky to escape the disaster, they will also not escape the persecution of the king and the blame of the world - after all, he is only a slave, and the era they lived in could not tolerate their love, so choosing "death" is the best way. And the result is heartwarming and yearning, especially in today's apocalyptic age where beliefs and beliefs in life are lacking. Such love is like Deshan's drink. Although it is only a flash of lightning, some people still see it.
