Watch disaster movies as documentary

The first film of 2020 is actually this 2011 "Contagion"

This film is very realistic when viewed now. The film tells about a virus from bats to pigs and then to humans. In a very short period of time, it spreads all over the world and destroys tens of millions of human beings.

The story is calm and no hero appears. There is no spectacle, it is a very serious film, a non-traditional commercial disaster film. The characters in the film are all lively. Although the story is fictitious, it is based on a solid epidemiology. Against the background of SARS and the current Wuhan pneumonia, it is like a documentary film. I see my sweating, like on pins and needles.

There are several points in the film that are worth thinking about:

1 The outbreak of infectious diseases is exponential. You can't see it at first, but when you see it, it's not easy to control. Failure to prevent the slightest failure may cause a catastrophe for mankind.

2 Infectious diseases must be traced back to the source, and super spreaders at the source are the most dangerous.

3 Human beings do not have solutions to all diseases. Real epidemic prevention and treatment, feelings of helplessness and helplessness will follow.

4 When the epidemic cannot be controlled, everyone is in danger, the evil side of human nature is fully manifested, and mankind will lose order.

5 Unscrupulous media and brainless people have made matters worse.

6 Rely on XX to cheer, rely on unscrupulous beliefs, no useless.

    Pseudo-documentary shooting. Scattered characters The scattered locations, from the family to the society, spread out like a contagion, and the drama is that there is no way of knowing who is next. Electronic music is as psychedelic as the virus itself, interspersed in every corner of the film, dangerous and unknown. In the film, many media such as cameras, monitors, and online media are also like carriers of viruses, and they are still as highly reflexive as Soderbergh's debut work.

Contagion quotes

  • Dave: My wife makes me take off my clothes in the garage. Then she leaves out a bucket of warm water and some soap. And then she douses everything in hand sanitizer after I leave. I mean, she's overreacting, right?

    Dr. Erin Mears: Not really. And stop touching your face, Dave.
