I have never written a film review before. This is also the first time for me, before I finished watching a movie, I was so angry that I wanted to throw a stool and leave.
Just half an hour ago, I finished watching this movie. The content of the movie is very simple. It is about the collision of people with two completely different thinking when humans are facing the crisis of being exterminated by viruses: one side wants to use in vivo experiments to extract vaccines from humans that are immune to the virus to save them. All mankind; on the other hand, they want to rescue those people who are treated as experimental subjects because of their immunity to the virus, and then "sacrifice" all mankind.
Determined not to be a human removal plan?
About "sacrificing all mankind" is my brain supplement, the great actor Thomas and his party certainly don't have such terrible thoughts. But have they thought about it, what will happen after rescued these immunized persons? Looking eagerly at people waiting to die except those with antibodies? I said there would be a better way, but in fact I didn't have a clue at all.
The heroine Teresa and her team did their best to obtain vaccines from immunized people, although their experiments seemed to be unsuccessful until the end of the film. But they have a clear goal and direction-to extract vaccines from immunized people by unscrupulous means to save all mankind. Where are the heroes? Help more than 20 people who are immune to escape from the sea of suffering and push all mankind into the fire pit?
I admit the cruelty of the experiment, but this is a choice that must be made. It's like a famous train experiment: you are driving a train, you can only change lanes once, to the left or right. But one person is tied to the rail on the left, and five people are tied to the track on the right. what will you do? Or to be an exaggeration. Twenty-eight people are tied to the rail on the left, and there are humans other than the twenty-eight on the rail on the right. What would you do?
I don't think there will be a third or fourth option for this kind of thing, because no one can afford the consequences of procrastination.
When the video shows Teresa extracting the vaccine from Thomas "easily", I believe many people will complain: it turns out that extracting the vaccine does not require such cruel experiments! How pitiful the people who have been tortured by this inhumanity before! Do you know about prefrontal lobectomy? This was previously regarded as the most effective treatment method used by Western scientists to treat mental patients, and at the same time, it is also considered to be one of the most brutal and inhuman surgery.
But this method worked at the time and solved many problems.
The left is before the operation, and the right is after the operation. The picture mentioned that the boy had violent behavior before the operation and recovered after the operation
The left is before the operation, the right is after the operation
Then with the development of technology, this cruel operation was eliminated. The solution is constantly evolving, but it requires a process in which people look for breakthroughs. This process can be cruel, dark, and necessary at the same time.
Let's go back to the video. In fact, I think the out-of-control of the situation in the film can be avoided. If Thomas could trust Teresa when she first met with Teresa and provided her with blood samples at that time, Teresa would be able to produce qualified vaccines in time to calm the riots temporarily. The government can then invest the remaining resources in urban construction to give the displaced people a place to live.
But in view of Teresa's previous "betrayal", Thomas decided not to trust her. However, Teresa has never betrayed Thomas and his party at all, because she did not belong to Thomas, and they pursued completely different directions: one thinking about how to extract vaccines from immunized people to save all mankind, the other thinking about how Let the immunized people who are the mother of the vaccine escape.
Even if they stand on the opposite side of each other, the feeling between them is real. When Thomas asked Teresa, do you regret all this you did to us? Teresa looked at him, her eyes burning: sometimes. But if I were to make another choice, my mind would not change.
This is the best answer I think. Teresa feels regretful because she ruined the love and friendship with Thomas and the others, because of the withered life in her hands, and she does not regret her decision to sacrifice a few to save the majority.
But her behavior could not be understood by Thomas and his party. They mocked her, insulted her, thinking she was a cold-blooded female cousin. But they forgot, how many innocent people died on their hands when they rescued those with antibodies? How many innocent people will die at their hands? Think about it, how many people are suffering from the virus? How many mothers cling to the hand of a seriously ill child, hungry for the light of hope? Thomas took away the immunized people, which is undoubtedly the deadliest blow to these people. If the vaccine is not developed in the end, how many people's blood will be on Thomas' hands? Who is the cold-blooded one? Ironically, Teresa betrayed her alliance for this group of enemies who regarded herself as betrayers.
At the end of the film, Teresa died (this is the most unacceptable place for me and the bottom line of my outbreak). Thomas took the vaccine developed by Teresa and looked into the distance. It seemed that he was secretly determined to save more with this vaccine. People. People will always remember Thomas-it was him who saved the immunized people in dire straits, it was he who used the so-and-so-developed vaccine to bring salvation to the infected people, he is an eternal hero, and everyone cheers for him. . . But who is the one who develops the vaccine? Whenever people mention Teresa, they will only remember "Oh, that female cousin who betrayed us", even if she is the real hero-working hard to develop a vaccine and risking her life to help Thomas and his party (TM also Don't appreciate it), and finally died without a place to burial. . . What she did, people didn't see it, or saw it but ignored it, or saw it, didn't ignore it, but vilified it. In the face of this series of tragedies, what can I say?
I saw a hot topic before: save teammates or save the world? It depends on how big a person's heart is. As a spectator, I can tolerate everything: aiming at world peace, working hard and striving for happiness for the majority of people; as a client, I cannot tolerate any form of betrayal and injury, and the lives of my family’s friends’ lovers. Always the most important. Everyone sees that the size of people's hearts will also change with changes in circumstances. It is no wonder that the authorities are obsessed with bystanders, and it is no wonder that the ways are different and not conspiring. This may be the only reason I can use to comfort myself after watching this movie.
Finally, I made a complaint. It’s good to be a director. I am obviously not a goddess of justice, but I can let the balance be biased to either side, and then let the justice I think affects the general public’s three views.
