Unlike previous disaster films, where the landslides, the sky and the sky are dark, or the protagonist saves the world through a series of thrilling adventures, the disaster in this film seems to be gradual, seemingly gentle, but it peels off little by little. The hope that people unknowingly fall into perpetual despair, hysteria, and even destruction.
The symptoms of the disease start from the grief that triggers people, and the virus triggers the source of the pain in people's hearts. After a burst of crying, everyone loses their sense of smell inexplicably, which is called Severe Olfactory Syndrome (Severe Olfactory Syndrome), referred to as SOS. . People try to ask for help, but don't know who to turn to, God? In the face of terrible disease, people's resistance is weak and weak, and they can only accept the judgment of God.
The occasional female voice narration and clips of the living conditions of people all over the world make the story as real and believable as a disciplinary film, giving people a feeling of confusing reality. The disease spread step by step. After the male protagonist met the female protagonist Susan, an epidemiologist, the two fell in love, but the sweetness of love had not yet begun, and the disease also entangled them. As the chef, the male protagonist faced The restaurant business is bleak. Life goes on. Therefore, in order to meet the needs of these "stuffy" people, the sweetness, bitterness and bitterness in the food are aggravated, the business of the restaurant is maintained, and people can maintain the smell of sunshine, green leaves, and soil through imagination, life seems to be Without much change, human beings are still invincible.
But the power of nature, or God's punishment, can't tolerate such arrogance of human beings. After a while of restlessness, people's appetite has increased greatly. As long as they can be put in their mouths, no matter what they are, they will be eaten. , everyone is almost crazy, on the verge of collapse, but fortunately this crazy move stopped in an instant, people are surprised to see the things in their hands (really things) , but did not find that their sense of taste was also lost. Even so, the female protagonist expects that smell and taste are connected, so the disease will no longer expand, and, with the male protagonist, fucked to find sensory stimulation.
Although people lost their sense of taste, the restaurant business continued, customers only needed flour and fat to fill their stomachs, and the taste could only be imagined from memory. During this period, the male protagonist and the female protagonist played a game, telling each other unknown things to each other, that is, revealing their secrets, but it was more like repentance. The female protagonist told the male protagonist that she was infertile, and the male protagonist told the female protagonist that he had no thoughts or guilt for his dead fiancée, and that he was an "asshole" regardless of it. The female protagonist appreciated the male protagonist's confession, so the two called themselves Mr and Mrs asshole and continued to enjoy the excitement of life.
It turns out that the punishment is still going on, and the heroine's expectation was wrong. People started getting more manic, there was violence everywhere, the streets were a mess, and after that, hearing loss. Inevitably, in the manic state before hearing loss, the male protagonist said something to the female protagonist that was enough to break a few hearts, causing the female protagonist to leave sadly. After returning to normal, the male protagonist roared in despair, he couldn't hear anything, and could only wait for relief at home. After everyone was deaf, the world returned to silence, people in the restaurant communicated through sign language, and life went on. One of the episodes is thought-provoking. People obviously can't hear any sound, but it seems that there is still a band playing, silently. People in the audience hugged the speakers and felt the vibrations brought by the sound, in order to remember and pay homage to the lost hearing.
After that, some people even prepared for the worst, blindfolded, and tried to feel a world of darkness...but before the world fell into darkness, people seemed to have been relieved, embraced each other, and poured out their love. The male protagonist and the female protagonist also released their previous suspicions. The two came to the place where they met for the first time in tacit agreement. Even if they could never see each other again, they would embrace each other until the world was completely dark...
It's dark now, and they know all they need to know, and they feel each other's tears on their cheeks. And if there had been anybody left to see them, then they would look like normal lovers caressing each other's faces, bodies close together, eyes closed ,oblivious to the world around them. Because that is how life goes on, like that.
