I endured the nausea and watched this movie.
Due to the poor translation of subtitles, it may lead to misunderstandings in some places; because of the lack of understanding of Christian teachings, some metaphors may not be understood; in addition, the social and political environment of Spain is also unclear, and there may be misunderstandings in some places. . If there is any misunderstanding, please let me know. thanks.
First of all, the opening subtitles are about the human world under a lot of microscopes. To be honest, I am most afraid of looking at the microscopic world, it is disgusting. Various cells, viruses, blood, parasites and eggs. Well, in this section, my screams were accompanied by goosebumps and a tumultuous stomach, and finally I saw a beautiful woman walking through the streets of Madrid...
Several main characters are explained. The comrades entered the bar one after another, and the main characters were: the saint, the miser, the miser, the Jewish wanderer, the Arab boy, and the bartender Pang (these are the longest living); the bar owner, The financial uncle, the deliveryman's younger brother, the gun-wielding elder brother (underworld?). After the virus-infected person also came in, the uncle who went out was shot and killed instantly. The deliveryman's younger brother couldn't bear to go out to rescue and was shot to death. The situation that followed was more complicated: several comrades in the bar were on the verge of collapse, and after they gradually calmed down, they turned on the TV and found such an abnormal situation that there was no news. Several people began to speculate what was wrong. At this time, the infected person rushed out of the bathroom and died in front of them, which made them feel that this strange situation may be related to the virus infection. And those who have been in direct or indirect contact with the infected are: the saintess, the stingy woman, the Jewish wanderer, the Arab hot man and the bartender chubby. The other group is uncles with guns, female bosses and financial uncles. In order to ensure that they would not be infected, the Uncles with Guns forced the Saintess to take the corpses to the underground warehouse, but this also became the cause of their death. While several in the basement were actively looking for a way out, several on the ground were slaughtered by unknown men (probably GOV) and set the bar on fire. The turmoil gradually subsided. The Holy Maiden got out of the basement and learned that there was a vaccine through the mobile phone of the infected person. Finally, the Jewish homeless found and injected it first. At this time, five people were alive but only four vaccines, that is to say, In the end, there must be a person who has no vaccine, and the evil of human nature begins to be exposed. The initiative is in everyone's hands: from Jews to Arabs, to saints to miser misers, it seems that only the bartender has always been the weaker. There are a lot of religious and political metaphors in this feeling, such as the Jewish-Arab conflict that ends up together; it is harder for a rich man to enter heaven than a camel through the eye of a needle; a saint anoints holy oil to save all beings. Sadly, that's all I can see. In the end, the miser Scrooge sacrifices his hope in exchange for the salvation of others, just like a metaphor that the rich (who have wealth) need to give up great things in order to see God. And the miser woman's death didn't save anyone else. The kindest bartender (bar-society; bartender-salaried class) was immediately killed by the mad low-level Jews, and then the Arab warm men desperately protected the saint and perished with the Jews, before dying, the only hope of survival - finally A vaccine (holy medicine for social diseases) was given to the saint, who took over the last wish of Arabia, and her efforts finally achieved self-redemption. When she walks on the indifferent street covered in wounds, she may have become ashes in the face of the cold eyes of passers-by, but only a woman sympathetically puts on her a coat that covers her body.
In this film, I feel like I want to talk about a lot of issues, mainly all kinds of social issues in Spain. Class, race, religion; GOV, society, people... Due to the reasons at the beginning of this article, I can't fully understand what they are, but I still have feelings, such as relationships that seem to be warm but indifferent; the illusion of the online world; GOV The ruthlessness of the functional department; but it is not that there is no hope at all, at least, the saint is alive, and she herself has become invincible but immune. The woman who took pity on the coat she gave her felt like she was distressed by seeing a reality riddled with holes, but took the initiative to cover up the wounds for a moment of comfort, using a solution that couldn't solve the problem. And more people turn a blind eye, the kind of cold despair, just like the saintess are covered with scars, walking on the street like a wandering spirit; just like the beginning of the film, people panicked on the street after a gunshot. It's like screaming and disappearing without a trace; it's like someone with a good heart is finally found, and good thoughts will be killed together; like a ruthless gov, who destroys his body when something goes wrong, blocks his mouthpiece and deceives the world and the foolish people; just like people If you want to get redemption, you have to dive into the dirtiest world and fight to the death...
Perhaps, the director wanted to say: what a desperate Spain, what a desperate world.
