2020.2.11-Monologues of strangers under the epidemic

Geo 2021-11-15 08:01:26

At the beginning of the film, there is the words of Nobel laureate Joshwar Lidberg, "Viruses are the greatest threat to humans ruling the earth." And at the end of the blood plague there is also a sentence: "Because the earth's immune system has identified the most destructive pathogens. The existence of human beings.” Viruses that continue to appear continue to change and survive, and when they return, they will be stronger than before. Both "Extreme Panic" and "Blood Plague" were derived from Ebola. It is well known that Ebola does not have a vaccine or special medicine, but the end of the film gave the people in the small town a perfect ending. -It can be cured by getting the corresponding serum. In real life, there is no special medicine. I can’t help wondering what would happen without special medicine. Will it really slaughter the city in the end and let these 2600 people die for this “battle”. No one knows... and I hope we never know... At the end, I feel that whether it is Ebola that has made us horrified or the new coronary pneumonia that has occurred in early 2020, there are two sides. The good side is that we are exposed to nature because of the disease. In awe...The bad side is that those who died because of this became the victims of this natural warning to humanity...

    Standard American theme movie. Fortunately, Dustin Hoffman and Morgan Freeman were there to support him, and there was actually Kevin Spacey, who was still a little green back then. The final explosion of personal heroism. But to be honest, the firm stance of the opposite angle is somewhat untenable.

    The cause and effect of the story is very clear. The seeds planted 30 years ago finally grew into a deadly poisonous tree that spreads infectious diseases 30 years later. The same is the gov's attempt to sacrifice the interests of a few people to protect the country's security. The front-line medical staff who are extremely sleep-deprived and even at risk of their lives are struggling with humanity, as shown by General Ford... Human beings really never have a long memory. Infectious diseases are nature's revenge on arrogant human beings.
