Isolate

As a movie with an apocalypse complex, to be honest, he developed in the direction I wanted. If the blind flu is full of hope, then this one is the path to despair. In retrospect, there is no hell in this world, and hell is created by evil people. Perhaps you are willing, welcome to see the world of infinite hell.
Some people think that this is a stupid internal contradiction film, but I say that this is the extinction of human nature under the apocalyptic complex. I am noncommittal. I prefer to talk about the characters inside. As far as the heroine is concerned, some people think that because the heroine is not guilty, she is not wrong in the end. She is the only one who can be redeemed, but why? At that time, no matter what I think of her, what I have done well before can make me feel unforgivable. Besides, if she really deserves to be redeemed, why in the end, she will be completely abandoned by God. (I don’t think the director meant this.) In retrospect, this film is about human nature. Therefore, no matter who it is, it undeniably reveals the original face of human beings. As for the end, it is human beings or beasts. It's not clear that people are animals in the first place, even if they really become animals, there is nothing wrong with them.
The second one is the boyfriend of the heroine at the beginning. To put it bluntly, he is a guy who eats soft food. Cowardly, incompetent, and without self-esteem, in the end he was still a guy who was saved by a woman. There is also an unforgivable point. This is what I realized when I was watching a film review. It was because of selfishness that I shot the bandage man (and the reason was because of the ambiguous relationship with the heroine). But one thing that must be mentioned is that his starting point is good. The heroine asked him to get a gun. He went, and he didn't just think about himself at this time. So sloppyly, he is a good person, knowing who is strong and who is weak, which is very similar to some people in reality.
The third is the bandage man. This is a very neutral character. He doesn't have a clear idea of ​​who he wants to save, but he doesn't have the meaning of thinking about hurting whom. However, this kind of person is the silent person, the majority in reality. His death is also a punishment for him.
The fourth is the old woman. This is a very complicated person. She is strong because of her daughter, but actually very fragile. If her daughter was still there, it would not end like this. And the more in a world where there are no rules, the more human nature is exposed. In order to live better, she chose to be treated as a sex slave. Maybe she didn't know it would end like this at first. Some people say that she can live without doing this. Maybe, what she might think is that if someone acts as a backer, she can live without worry, because she is different from others, she paid, maybe she thinks that she can get more, even in food rations. At that time, she can rely on her body to get food, because if she doesn't make anything, if there is no so-called exit, without a gun, the heroine will only be reduced to an old woman who can survive on her body. This is only a matter of time. Relatively speaking, the old woman just saw the rules clearly. But he quickly understood that this rule could not be enforced at all. She would die, so she ran to the heroine for help, but she didn't understand. Everyone here seeks self-protection, and the heroine herself There is no protection, let alone, maybe, she knows, this is just the last groan.
Fifth, Mickey, he is a good man, yes, he is a good man. At the beginning of the food shortage and hysterical, I even had the urge to fight for him. He is not a god, (the food will always be eaten) can provide it. Not bad, what you can do, except eat and drink, is Lazar. What qualifications do you have to say to others, even though he was found hiding food in the end, and the crowd could not contain his anger and cruel him, but who would know that if everyone came to the end, he might also give some of it to others, but he was angry, And hopelessness, and despair, completely destroyed this group of people who could have lived in peace and harmony. He was originally the savior. If even God was taken down, the world would not be destroyed. His wife is part of his treasure, and even the last laugh, you can know that she is dead. So, in the end, they all laughed. He is indeed a good person, but no one thinks so. Even the heroine, in the end, it is for herself to untie him. There is no way to kill the black people. If the black people win, all this will be completely changed. Because he has practiced food rationing from the beginning. But he also has his own selfishness, but in my opinion, he is already a good person.
Sixth, because the black man died the earliest, there is not much to say, but he actually has his own selfish intentions. Taking a gun has a certain purpose. It is either to kill Mickey, or to have these foods with Mickey. When people have rights, they don't think about sharing with others. It's really not good or bad.
The seventh, brother, has a brother, but can't help, has a kind heart, but is controlled by the devil. He said he was bad, but in the end he judged himself and said he was not bad. Every bad thing has his share. But did you see the pain when he was shaving his hair, the devil said, we have become the same. In fact, he didn't want to be like this, but before he knew it, that was it. A contradictory brother, a man who can't control himself, he thinks there is nothing to do except possessing a demon. A poor soul, stupid man, hopeless.
The eighth, the devil, was doing almost nothing good in it. Besides thinking about providing food at the beginning, the only thing he could think about was how to torture Mickey, the old woman, and later wanted to squeeze the body from the heroine. What he thought was no different from what he did to old women. Under his strong appearance, he is very weak. Because he doesn't want to be alone with hundreds of millions of people, he wins over his brother and says that when they are the same, he actually knows that they are not the same. But the feeling in his heart told him that he needs others to be on his side, so that he will feel safe. In order to live better. Even I feel that my brother has become part of his reason for existence. Without him, he himself could not survive. Because when he fell, he hoped that others would also fall, so that he would be accompanied by someone in hell, and he would not be alone. Just look at the two of them lying on the sofa, you will know.
In turn, this film was too desperate. He even added a lot of slow motion. It was simply torturing. If you can't bear it outside of the film, don't blame you. But just from the perspective of the movie, in my opinion, very beautiful! Unbelievable, refreshing, and expressing the director's meaning completely. It makes me feel that in many other movies, the director wants to express some meaning, but the taste of the film has changed again. It is a pity! Isolation is a relatively closed word, and its meaning tends to despair. So, at the beginning, I gave a little or no hope at all, and then, the despair throughout the story, despair from the beginning to the end. Even when you give hope, you have to give people a knife pain, then, lead to the hope in your heart, and finally, be beaten to death with a stick. As far as the plot is concerned, good can't be better. In terms of expressive techniques and artistic power, it is also quite good, but that is, the pain is too much, and the people who watch it are a little sad.
