The old-fashioned plot-the sympathetic handsome male number one, the female number one who has a value with the male number one, the leader who has a sense of justice but died early, and the despicable and selfish secretary of leadership who is destined to seize power..... . Isn’t it boring?
If you just watched what I wrote here and missed this film, or the guest officer who has authenticated this film no longer watches what I will mention later, I think maybe you will pass by the real plot. The true meaning of this film, in my opinion, is actually the same as "Confinement" of the torturous heart.
Many people think that the hasty ending is a failure, but it is not. Such an ending is to cover up a cruel ending, cruel enough to subvert all the beautiful humanity in the front of the film.
In chronological order, the film should look like this...
1. A few years ago, the oil inside the earth burned, causing the temperature to rise suddenly.
2. In response to the rising temperature, human beings built several iron towers for refrigeration, but this caused a huge reaction and caused the earth to freeze.
3. The survivors fled the city, scattered to establish a number of "colonies", and survived hard through planting and breeding. However, due to lack of medical treatment and other conditions, once infected with flu, etc., it is tantamount to terminal illness. In order to prevent others from being infected and dying, the sick will be exiled from the colony or shot. 4. This is the key to the story. After each colony continued in the above manner for several years, a certain colony has not given up its efforts to restore the climate. It has adopted a certain method (reverse operation of the iron tower) to restore the climate in a small area, achieve defrosting, and obtain soil. , So the colony BOSS (the bald man in the video) recorded a video and played it with a communication device, wanting to inform other colonies of the notification. But-due to unmentioned reasons, although the climate and soil have been restored, it still cannot survive, and even gets worse. As a result, the desperate colonial masses inevitably embarked on the path of the end times after the last food was exhausted-cannibalism and cannibalism. Therefore, the cannibals appearing in the film are actually the aborigines of this colony. Also, at this time, people in other colonies received the video, so they sent people to look for it. Of course, they found only a scene more desolate than the freezing, but they were followed by the cannibals on the return journey, and then they were exterminated. As a result, the unique way of survival of this cannibal was formed-the video attracted people from other colonies, the cannibal tracked the returning personnel, consumed everyone in the colony, and continued to wait for the people from the next colony to come over, and so on.
5. One day, colony No. 5 received a video and sent people there. Of course, it ended up being annihilated. During the massacre, colony No. 7 sent a distress signal.
Colony No. 6.7 is facing a survival crisis, mainly due to the impending collapse of breeding. At this time, it received the No. 5 distress signal, so the BOSS took the male No. 1 and the back to colony No. 7, encountering the cannibals who were eating, and a battle. Luckily escaped, the BOSS devoted himself to blowing up the bridge, but the cannibals still invaded Colony 7. After some fighting, especially after the male number one singled out the cannibal boss successfully, 5 or 6 surviving people took their seeds to the legendary place with soil.
This is the whole plot. Regarding why cannibals are aboriginals in colonies that change the climate, the bosses in the video look very similar to cannibal bosses, at least their hairstyles are very similar. . . . At least, this is an association deliberately set by the director. Even if it is different, I am willing to believe that it is the result of living like a beast for a long time.
The key to this film is the end.
At the end, the male number one, the female number one and a few extras survived and climbed out of Colony 7. Where are they going? They really took the seeds, found the sunny land, and started the happy life of men plowing and weaving children in groups? Is this really the end of a traditional love and peace that finally sees a rainbow after wind and rain? NO! The cruel ending subverts all the advantages of human nature.
Here are three reasons for the ending that I deduced:
1. After the survivors find the land, can they really plant and survive? The film began to show the crisis of planting and breeding, implying that this way of living by planting and breeding is in danger and is on the verge of collapse (the rabbit is aborted, and there is only one female rabbit left). Recalling the plot carefully, why the screenwriter set up planting and breeding is on the verge of collapse, which has nothing to do with the following plot. Should we go to rescue colony 5 if we can't plant and breed? No! Can you meet cannibals if you don't plant and breed? NO! The only goal to be achieved is to imply that even if you find land, you will still encounter such an existential crisis.
2. The male number one has been discussing, or being troubled with, a question, whether it is important for people to survive or morality before the end of the world, that is, whether to live like a human or beast like a beast. This question was answered by the boss of Camp No. 7 in the helicopter. He described the scene of people killing each other without food, and clearly told the male one: "We tried to stop it, but it was impossible." Male number one tells the boss innocently that you have found it now (where there is no such cruel behavior, referring to colony No. 7), the boss is noncommittal. It means that due to hunger and other reasons, people live like beasts and kill their own kind. It is nature. Can Camp 7 be spared? can not. If there is an existential crisis, it will be like this.
3. The male number one singled out the cannibal boss. In the last few minutes, starting from the male number one KO cannibal boss, did you notice his expressions and actions? Is this a person fighting with beasts alone? NO! This is the killing of two wild beasts. The male number one used a hammer to hit the bald head of the man-eating BOSS dozens of times, and then directly cut off the part above the lower jaw of the BOSS with a guillotine knife. The blood splattered against the excitement and pleasure of the male number one’s face...Look, everyone The official must look at these few more minutes, and it is easy to see that the male number one and the previous innocent image are no longer alone. In these few minutes, he completed a transformation, this transformation, because of the theme of this film-in order to survive! !
Therefore, the ending of this film is like this-the
male number one female number one and a few extras will of course find the thawed land, but they will not grow crops, because they will encounter the aboriginal people and colony 7 cultivation and breeding. difficulty. They will only continue the destiny of the aborigines, become cannibals, and become beasts that kill humans for survival, waiting for visitors from the next colony on the thawed land! !
Do you remember the last line of Male One? "We only have one goal......survive.", do you understand? Male number one, already figured it out!
Seeing this, may shudder slightly below. This was originally a movie that tried to show that people would lose their relationship and even become a beast in the face of survival crisis. It was like "Confinement", but it was unbearable to be presented so bluntly and cruelly, so the ending was omitted. The selfish leadership secretary only loses part of his relationship, and in the face of real survival, becoming a beast is only an inevitable result. This is true for the aborigines of Thawed Land, and the survivors of Colony No. 7 must also be the same.
The male and female number one is about to stand at the top of the new round of cannibalism food chain, and the 3 or 4 surviving extras may become members of the cannibal group, or perhaps just a lunch for the male and female number one on the way to the hunting grounds. That's it.
