Because we are all afraid of being alone

Some people say that this is a doomsday love movie.
I don't agree.
Although it seems, the story is developed around the emotional development of a pair of lovers.

But they have no love, all they have is love. Have sex like crazy.
It's just a companion in times of isolation.
Simply put, when everything is too late to be replaced or changed, when you will face the unknown doomsday alone if you don’t grasp the person in front of you, whoever changes it will take it for granted that “it feels more compatible and should be able to interact with each other”. care” person as a companion.

This is the so-called
even if you die, you have to pull your back.

Maybe the film just wants to ask a question through this assumption: If one day, the world irreversibly became this way, what would you choose to do?

Admittedly, watching the film, I was also thinking about this question.
So, when everything goes to the end, everything that has been ignored may be infinitely magnified in an instant; things that have been valued at all costs can completely disappear in an instant. Because the end is near, nothing is easier than giving up at the moment of irreversibility.

Just like a lover who used to drive away his girlfriend after having sex and fall asleep alone. But because of the infinite fear and loneliness brought about by the end of the day, he stayed in the woman's room and couldn't bear to leave.

This may not be love, but don't deny that it is love.
In fact, the most primitive expression of love may be companionship.
Because we don't want to be alone.



Worth mentioning is my favorite plot setting in the movie: the repeated breakdowns, restlessness, sanity, and self-adjustment as people gradually lose their senses. The society is like this, and the pathogenesis of the disease also corresponds to this social change.
When people completely accept that what they are used to is irretrievably lost, they begin to look for a new way of life.
This is like when amphibians find themselves gradually losing their aquatic organs, and have to passively accept the fate of terrestrial, crawling, upright, and climbing.
Who says it's not an evolution.

However, as the film progresses, the rate of change in this survival is getting faster and faster, and the panic and tremors that people show becomes more and more obvious.
When all the unfamiliar things hit at one go, no one can continue to accept the change calmly.
Until the end of the film completely collapsed.

It is easy to imagine that even if the male and female protagonists do not have that hug at the end, after their world enters darkness, the first living person they may encounter (should be said to be touching) will become their long-term love (love, friendship). ) of the object. Of course, if it's the person you've slept with in the past, it may feel more tacit. But it doesn't matter, because all we want is company anyway.
Because we are all afraid of being alone.

    The male and female gods fit together, but the posture is so disappointing. Because the plot goes too boldly, the ending is like a mess, and the sound and the picture are completely independent and unrelated. It is too difficult to discuss the disappearance of sound, taste and other senses with visual senses. I have also thought about this issue before. For example, the sense of smell and touch in the picture cannot be conveyed to the viewer.

    Even if the sense of smell, taste, and hearing disappear, even if the vision finally disappears, the whole world enters eternal darkness, and the two people who love each other still have the sense of touch. It is still a perfect feeling to embrace each other. An allegorical global disease, the degeneration of human senses, an apocalyptic love filled with psychological horror. With such a beautiful two people, such a beautiful piece of true love, the end of the world does not matter. Ivan showed the bird again and gave a startling glance. ★★★☆
