It's better to take off the heavy stuff

What's so impressive about this movie is its repulsive heavy-handed depictions of oil, sexual abuse, etc., which is the same approach used in "Beasts". Other than that, the film deserves credit only for its conception, the plot is simple, and many things are not explained clearly.
The intruders are North Koreans, but it is really unbelievable why these people who invaded the United States went to great lengths to create an isolation channel outside this secret room. The research room was built not far from the secret room, and the meager guards were whimsical. The key is that the first batch of anti-chemical soldiers were easily shot and killed by the inexperienced old beauty, two at a time, which is really nonsense. Now that someone knows there is someone underneath, the act of welding that door can be called stupid, leaving the audience completely unaware of the intruders' true intentions.
The second unreasonable part of the film is the sewer used by the heroine to escape at the end. This is a very important point that no one can guess. The key is that this sewer can actually prevent the intrusion of nuclear radiation dust.
Regarding the boss who hid the food, it was a mistake for him to kill Xiao Hei. Xiao Hei still has a sense of justice. He just questioned the boss's behavior of secretly storing food. Although the food belongs to the boss, the boss will either share it equally, block everyone's mouth, and maintain his authority; otherwise, he will simply tell the group of 2 people the escape route and let them go their separate ways. It is very important for the boss to maintain authority and form an alliance with Xiao Hei, but it is obvious that the boss's thinking, like the thinking of many characters in this film, is more difficult to guess.
It is a bit far-fetched to discuss human nature in this film. It must be admitted that the director's starting point is good, but it is obvious that the film deviates from the theme and is far from the effect of "Battle Royale". If you feel that the boss’s previous actions were self-inflicted and selfish, and the heroine was very selfish to escape in the end, it may be explained that the heroine’s disappointment in human nature led to her selfishness, but in this way, why are the rest of the people not, it’s just more and less , The problem of performance early and late.
In the end, I feel that gays and other people with mental problems really cannot walk with them in times of disaster. Human nature is ultimately an instinctive reflection. Selfishness is one of the most primitive instincts of human beings. The perverted things like gays often have the effect of "mouse feces and bad porridge", so they must be killed in the infancy.

    For a movie fan with a strong doomsday complex, "Isolation" has met all my expectations. In the process of survivors' destruction, we experience together from hope to despair to madness. Past doomsday movies, such as "Doomsday Dangerous Way"-love is the reason to live, but in this movie love causes these survivors to continue to clash and break.

    The fog-blind flu said that the limited resources and characters of the last world will gradually peel off the human shell and show the beastly side of human beings under closed conditions, but the first two can be convincing in terms of conflicts and characterization, and isolate the characteristics of this film. In the end, the front part is to be careful and the back part goes too fast to create a convincing change. The most important thing is that it can still be so long! ! ! !
