150 days, I'm talking about the time the theaters are closed.
We also haven't pushed a movie for a long time, because we really couldn't find a topic.
Fortunately, Netflix (Netflix) continues to launch high-quality new dramas.
No, Netflix's low-cost 6-episode disaster drama caught my attention. The plot is compact, the rhythm is smooth, and it is short and powerful.
Belgian capital, Brussels, airport.
A major armed with a gun charged at a plane that was planning to fly to Russia.
As soon as he rushed in, he pointed a gun at the captain and demanded to take off immediately, all the way west, otherwise everyone would die when the sun came out.
Sounds very absurd, of course, no one takes it seriously.
A man who seems to be insane is naturally regarded as a terrorist.
In order to appease him, the captain and Sylvie, who was temporarily serving as co-pilot, pretended to agree to his request.
The captain decided to fly to Iceland first and make plans after landing.
On the way, the major identified himself, claiming to be a NATO officer, and overheard news about the solar aberration.
Everyone will die when the sun rises and the sun shines. The plane has to leave before sunrise, all the way west, and stay in the dark environment to avoid this disaster.
The captain suggested not to inform the passengers first, so as not to cause panic among the people.
However, when the plane was about to land, the airport was a scene of fire and purgatory.
The mobile phone has a signal, and the news pushed by the Internet shows that the sun's magnetic field has reversed, and the gamma-ray burst formed by the violent explosion has caused the demise of life.
Everyone panicked, it turned out that what the major said was true.
While passing through another airport, the three soldiers said they were left behind when the troops retreated and wanted to join the fleeing team.
In the face of a disaster, more than one person will do more, and everyone will agree.
At this point, the characters are assembled, and everyone has different backgrounds and different languages.
Mixed in Italian, Turkish, Arabic, Russian, French and English, the diverse settings make the feeling of a community with a shared future for mankind more intense, giving people a feeling of human unity before the disaster.
Interestingly, the flight departure point, Brussels, is the headquarters of the European Union.
The multi-national setting of the characters in the plot also corresponds to the fragmented European Union in reality. The multi-ethnic atmosphere is like a microcosm of the entire society.
Each person's growth environment creates different personal ideas and clashes of individual ideas.
Conflicts are bound to arise in enclosed spaces.
The captain at first was in control of the overall situation, but his decisions did not always seem to be accepted by everyone. Everyone agreed to make a collective decision by voting.
Among them are judgments about morality.
It was discovered that the three soldiers were actually war criminals, charged with rape and murder, and should have been tried by a military court.
This time not only did not add firewood, but also led the wolf into the room.
Sylvie and the captain plan to drop them at the next stop.
The Turkish uncle on the passenger plane was also subjected to a moral trial. He opened his stomach and took out the diamond in the belly of the dead boy, arousing the anger of everyone.
The religious old man proposed to dispose of him, everyone voted, and the uncle was tied in the cargo hold of the passenger plane.
Before nature can make a choice, human beings begin to eliminate themselves.
Survival rules developed through the sifting of moral blemishes make the criteria for sun exposure appear to be equal.
A civilized society needs moral restraints and norms, but when disaster strikes, whether people have the right to make judgments and sentences outside the courtroom, and whether such judgment standards are reasonable, all need to be considered.
The background of the characters is explained at the beginning of each episode.
After losing her boyfriend, Sylvie fell into a lost mood for a while, and originally planned to go with him after scattering her boyfriend's ashes;
The boy's mother, who was emotionally unstable at first, revealed that she sold her kidney for money for her child's surgery;
After hearing the appalling news, the mechanic wanted to turn the plane around and go home to reunite with his wife;
The captain looks upright from the perspective of command, but in fact he had a leg with the flight attendant early;
On the contrary, he is a Turkish uncle who is a gangster, a pimp businessman, and a drug dealer. Although he has a complex background in life, he is usually the image that everyone fears and labelled as evil.
Even though he was seriously injured, he was still willing to run away with the child in his arms.
The major is tough all the way, and he will never give up to achieve his goals.
He insisted on escaping, and kept telling the survivors that he had saved them, but he never asked whether they wanted to leave or stay.
The major clashed with the Turkish uncle, knocked the uncle unconscious and left in a hurry.
When the plane was about to take off, the uncle who woke up stopped the plane.
Everyone put the right of trial in the hands of the uncle.
The uncle Turkey said bluntly: "I don't know what happens to people after death, but if we die today, I don't want the last thing I do is sentence others to death."
The religious old man replied: "Forgiveness and forgetting are two different things."
It is also reminding us that forgiveness is not forgiveness, it is a kind of release from letting go, a reconciliation of self-obsession, as for the injury itself, it will not be dissolved. face performance.
Thinking about human nature seems to be a proposition that disaster works can never get around, and moral dilemmas are also the object of constant questioning.
When the apocalypse comes, people's good and evil will be revealed, and whether the choice made out of the desire to survive is selfish or rational will become blurred in front of human nature.
In general, the 6-episode drama "Life in the Night" is very fast-paced, never sloppy, and constantly sets up suspense within a limited time, and it is really enjoyable to finish it in one go.
