This is another film that has been on my hard drive for more than two years, and I insist on watching part of it every day while taking the bus. I feel that the male protagonist is very familiar, it should be the villain in Spider-Man. The acting is still okay, but the script may not have much room for him to play. A good actor chooses a script, and a good script chooses a good actor, both are as important.

The story is set on the day before human beings will be destroyed, and it is said that at 4:44 in the morning of the next day, the entire earth will be destroyed by the radiation of the sun. The male protagonist and the female protagonist seem to be lovers of old and young. The female protagonist is a painter. Even before the destruction of human beings, she will keep maintaining her artistic creation. The male protagonist did not explain what he did, but he saw a lot of people who committed suicide on the street, and the news on TV kept showing religion, hoping to give everyone spiritual comfort. The male protagonist also had a phone call with his ex-wife, but the female protagonist became angry and had a big fight with him. The male protagonist went out to meet with his friends. Everyone seemed not to feel the fear before the end of the world. They seemed to still maintain their daily lives. They continued to drink and continue to be high when gathering with friends. After returning, I also reconciled with the heroine, and everyone had the best confession with their families, including the little boy who delivered the pizza. Everyone didn't seem to feel the coming of the end, until the aurora appeared, the end was coming.

There seem to be a lot of similar doomsday movies, and the general plot is the tradition of a hero to save the world. This time, it is from a different angle, and the natural demise of human beings is still very novel from the perspective of the story. In terms of the narrative of the story, it would be better if it could go deeper into the human part.

    God, there is no man in the world who can combine sexiness and sensibility so perfectly. The three collaborations between Abel Ferrara and Willem Dafoe really make me weaker each time.

    80/100, the carnival of the apocalyptic concept, atmosphere and emotions, the common benefit of the superposition of the "images" of various media in the space and the body image, the theme is relatively loose, but still charming.
