I have always had an unusual fascination and fantasy about the apocalypse. The environment is full of dangers. I don’t know which will come first tomorrow or an accident. I need to be careful about food. In the zombie-themed movies I watched before, I liked the survival of the protagonist. Skills, and even think that if the food is still enough, the zombie setting is relatively old-fashioned, and the character is stuffed into a space to see her living with a strange sense of satisfaction and happiness. To sum up, it is probably because I hate mediocre life and satisfy my desire to stay at home. Don't even have to communicate with people, it fits my introvert + love fantasy + fear of boredom very well
When playing the game "inside", I was very immersed and obsessed for a time. After all, the setting of this game is at the end. Like this film, I didn't mention what caused the end, but the scenes and games in this film The taste is very similar, gray sky, abandoned buildings, empty fields, as if I am the last person in the world, so when I saw the first half of this film, my doomsday obsession broke out, or I was obsessed with loneliness It is worth mentioning that the photography of this film is very beautiful, it has the feeling of doomsday in my mind, the lonely person under the beautiful wide-angle lens, the sky has no sunshine, just iron gray pressing on the top of the person's head, quiet and peaceful. The loneliness is so extreme that it makes me want to cry. It's a bit like a calm and waveless sea, as if it can bring you back to the era when human beings had not yet appeared, and it was as wide and quiet as the universe.
I once thought that there are two places where people can peacefully embrace death, or sleep in the sea, or in the infinite universe. Now I see the lonely field under the gray sky in the movie, and suddenly feel that if you are in such a situation, you should sleep here. Not too bad either.
I never thought about the problem of cannibalism in movies before. When I saw it, I was frightened and shocked. Of course, I was not surprised. Most of the doomsday movies I watched in the past were related to zombies or monsters. Humans are always eaten. That, but being eaten by zombies or monsters, and being eaten by the same kind, doesn't look any different, but when you think about it, it makes a big difference, maybe because when it comes to fighting supernatural fears, it's like a human being. The same fears I faced in the process of evolution, fighting against severe cold, floods, and beasts, the result of this hard struggle is the kind of fire that brings progress and civilization, and cannibalism makes me feel like pulling humanity back all of a sudden In ancient times, degenerated to the same level as beasts, the fire of civilization was extinguished, and the night never left.
Of course, I know that cannibalism has actually happened many times in history, which is not uncommon, but the taste revealed in this film is not like the episodes and twists and turns in the process of human discovery, but the ending of everything. Intense accusation, no hope, even if it is slim, the road ahead is still shimmering, some are just as calm as the deadly doomsday scene without the sun, the iron-gray sky and the gray-white ocean, what I am afraid of is not the twists and turns of the road, but a glance Looking forward to the end.
If you have seen the scene in the cellar, people who have seen "The Rat in the Wall" should not be able to think of this story, so I can bear this scene, probably because the shadow cast by the former is too big and far-reaching, so this film hastily shown I can bear a similar skepticism, but I don't know if the evil that is revealed in a civilized society is more terrifying, or if the evil becomes more common, but after watching this clip, all I can think of is "raised" "Human and animal" these four words
Having said that, because I never thought about how terrible scenes and encounters would be waiting for me if the real doomsday came, I was cured for a while after watching this movie, but the setting of this movie seems to be even rainy. gone? I remember that there is still a lot of rain in the game. Rain is also a weapon to increase the sense of loneliness. The wide field under the wide-angle lens, the gray sky, and several abandoned human civilization witnesses, if coupled with continuous rain , this lens is already perfect.
In addition, stockpiling supplies is also a very interesting place in the doomsday theme. In the movie, they found the food scene very happy to watch. In "Inside", the protagonist went down to a very similar cellar. At that time, I really hoped that the protagonist would stay forever. Don't run anymore, I even planned the source of food after the canned food is eaten and the escape route if the bad guy finds out, so when I saw this in the movie, I really hoped that the protagonist would stay forever, at least not so reckless After leaving, maybe you can do more concealment on the top, or set up a few traps, which is better than walking forever.
A lot of people don't like the children here, they think they're too kind to the point of being a hindrance. Actually, I think it's okay. Maybe the director even has a metaphor for this character. Humans are kind, and things aren't too bad. Light may be useless in the wilderness, but it also represents the existence of hope. It can only be said that beyond the setting, it can't help but give the audience hope. Just like this somewhat idealized ending, this movie is more Survival movies are more like apocalyptic poems, with some delicate and imaginative things in them, like the flames in the heart that are repeatedly mentioned, even if life is so dead that it seems to have come to an end, there is still hope and the flames of civilization are beating.
I don't like some people's speculation that the little boy was eaten at the end. This is obviously a bit against the director's intention. I always feel that this is not a simple story of doomsday survival and how dark humans can be, although I think maybe they can't. At the end, you may meet other bad guys, die from illness, get injured, and die alone after the last person is left, but being fooled and eaten simply and rudely completely destroys the atmosphere and direction created by the film.
Having said that, the cruel side did pull me back from fantasy to reality. But I don’t know how long it will last, but I even agree with my mother’s practice in the film. If you can’t see the ending, it’s better to die at the beginning. I still like the tone of the previous film and the stable satisfaction after getting food, but only It can be said that some fantasies can be satisfied in movies and experienced in games, but it is best to always be fantasy, and never have the opportunity to experience it. Of course, there is nothing wrong with fantasizing about it, after all, Tolstoy said
"Something unusual is happening, it's always exciting, especially for young people"
Fantasy always adds color to life.
