There are some people who think that this movie has a deep meaning, speculation about human nature, true self and so on.
I don't think it's really necessary to think too much about that. First of all, according to their theory, people are devoured by darkness because they have lost hope and can't hold on to themselves.
So those people who disappeared at the beginning, they lived well, but because of a power outage, they lost themselves and had no hope of living?
If you say that those people are swallowed up by something, then assimilated, and then go to lure people who are not assimilated.
Then, if they didn't assimilate most of the world's people before, they can black out the entire industrial society, thereby assimilating most people in the dark in an instant, why can't those so-called survivors' flashlights, candles and the like be combined with the first Kill a group of people together?
Can they knock out electrical circuits in buildings all over the world, and can't knock out flashlights in some people's hands? Candle?
Then at the beginning, the power was so great that the circuits and high-tech products all over the world broke down, and then the flashlights were destroyed after the survivors lost hope?
And then the survivors carry flashlights all the way, but are they unwilling to buy spare kerosene lamps, windbreak lamps, and torches? Knowing that the battery is not in use and the flashlight is quickly broken, what is the reason for insisting on not using natural fire?
Even if it causes a local fire, is it better than the consequences of being swallowed? Not many humans exist anyway.
And the man who looked for the male headlights at the beginning was the same. He had seen burning cars on the road before, and he knew that his lights might be broken. Wouldn't it be okay to lean over to the burning car?
There are several scenes in the film, saying that everything in the darkness is swallowed up, such as the photo of the male protagonist and his wife, the statue of the Virgin Mary and so on. Although it may be to set off the atmosphere, I think it is too much to look at it like this. I don't say it in the statue of the Virgin, but is it really necessary to take a photo?
You said that swallowing humans can also be assimilated. What's the use of swallowing a picture in a drawer? It's not that the audience doesn't know that darkness can swallow people, and you can swallow another photo to render the atmosphere? Except for the length of time, many things in the movie are as useless as this scene.
The most important contribution of that movie theater player was to tell a specious and mysterious story, and then the effect of this story was to approach the end of the film, when the male protagonist was about to drive away, he suddenly saw that word beside the viaduct, It doesn't make any sense, and it also caused the male protagonist to break his foot, and he has been inconvenient to move until the later stage.
The female doctor is also a waste of time. As soon as she appears in the bar, she opens a wooden warehouse to others like a madman. Are you looking for a child to do other people's errands? You know that the other party didn't kidnap your child, so what's going on there?
So I had a very bad opinion of her from the beginning. You can't do such dangerous things there just because you are unfortunate. It's not that you are miserable and you are justified. In case other people are injured, can you say that because you are sad, you can be forgiven for being unfortunate? !
Then she said later that because of the guilt, the survivors are the ones left behind. Even the male protagonist can't see it. If she said it, what about the boy Luke? What did he do wrong to be "punished"?
It's just a hole in the brain, everyone's morale is not high, as a doctor, talking nonsense over there, venting her negative emotions at will, both public and private are a mess.
Finally came the boy, and to be honest, I didn't have a good opinion of him either. What do you do when you see the male protagonist looking for Mukang to fight against each other? Not to mention what's going on outside, let's just say that there are items scattered all over the floor in that bar. He should at least have some understanding of the current situation, right?
The male protagonist has been wandering for three days since the day he woke up, so I estimate that during these three days, apart from the boy's mother, he should not have seen many outsiders. How could he be so defensive? If someone really entered this bar with a bad attitude before, then the bar should be more messy, and there may even be bloodstains and other residues.
But apart from the clothes and bits and pieces left by those people, there was no scene of damage.
It's not a war zone, shouldn't a child who grew up in a bar be more able to deal with people? For three days, I didn't even see a few people. He held the wooden warehouse and pointed at the male protagonist. Did he have persecution paranoia?
Well, with such a strong sense of precaution, when the broadcaster is calling for help outside, why is he so good at saving people? Just because of the few words the male protagonist chatted with him? How did your state of mind transition?
Then I said back to the player, knowing that the electricity is not enough, but I still have to play music, don't you think it's not fast enough to die? Not to mention the part where the boy goes to church in the back, I'm sure no one watched that part without getting angry.
To be honest, in the whole movie, I think the male protagonist is in the best condition when he was alone. From the encounter with the boy to the whole part of the church later, other than being dragged down and the mentality further collapsed, it has no effect.
You may say that you can get at least one car, but the transportation is not the point. After all, no one can guarantee the situation in New York. If the male protagonist is in the clean and neat state at the beginning, even if he moves slowly, at least he can live safely.
The whole movie is really serious and planned, and only the male protagonist survives normally. It's a pity that it was the boy who survived in the end. He vomited blood. Why is he? !
This movie is a mess. It opens the beginning of a disaster movie, but it can't finish the settings and details in it, and the characters' personalities are not pleasing. You said that they were unreasonable from the point of view of small people, and the broadcasters who should survive are reckless and impulsive. The doctor who should save people is pessimistic and world-weary.
Children who should be innocent, do not harm others. On the contrary, journalists who are not likable in daily life are the most normal people, which is simply ironic.
In the end, don't watch the feature film, just go to a certain Yin and watch the movie review, don't waste your time.
