I watched it at station B, and the debate about the female protagonist's mother in the barrage kept going, so I would like to express my own opinion. The person who scolds the heroine said that she was too selfish and would kill her. Supporters argue that maternal love is both great and selfish. I think, first of all, it's perfectly understandable for a mother to protect her daughter, no matter how much it hurts other people's interests. But being understood is not the same as being accepted and praised. The heroine in this movie, for the sake of her daughter, concealed her daughter's condition and grabbed the serum of the surviving Vietnamese, which resulted in her colleague being killed. Either way, this maternal love is terrifying. In addition, the heroine is also doing her best for her daughter, especially in the end, ignoring the threat of artillery fire, but I don't think this kind of maternal love is great at all. No matter how deep a mother's love is, when it conflicts with other people's interests and becomes selfish, it doesn't feel great in any way, but only feels small, even if it can be understood. The male protagonist pretended to enter the quarantine area for the little girl, and the female protagonist held the girl aside and said nothing. Supporters say it's because of maternal love. Yes, one of the heroine's identities is a mother, but I can also say that another identity of the heroine is a doctor. From the perspective of this identity, the heroine's selfishness is to the point of outrageous.

    This is a movie that kills the dawn... The first half is pure love, the second half is almost a cult, I must give it a star... I think this is similar to the last of Train to Busan, if the director can prepare a bad ending, then full marks .

    South Korea really dares to shoot, knows how to shoot, and can shoot, no less than a national disaster film made by Hollywood. The spread of the flu, the speed, and the sense of fear are heartily filmed. The plot is exciting and fast-paced, and the small details and big scenes are all in place. In the end, the irony and metaphor above are completed by the correct decision of the government, which is also just right. It's not bad to translate the title into "The Horror Flu" or "The Deadly Cold" according to the customary way!
