A naked flogging of humanity when events are taken to extremes

In my opinion, "Doomsday Virus" should be positioned as a literary film that tortures humanity under the cloak of horror. To be honest, after watching the movie, I was very depressed. The root may be that it hits the truth we never want to admit. Passersby, lovers, parents, brothers, who is more important than yourself? In fact, the bottom layer of one's own humanity is peeled off. Even if you keep flogging yourself, the answer may be the same after all. The director took the event to the extreme and triggered people's inner thoughts, and I think that has succeeded.
The four protagonists in the movie cover almost all people in life, and maybe still deny it, but it is a fact after all.
Brother, simple and rude, but I think the most courageous person. To lie to the younger brother to escape with peace of mind, to give up all those who want to give up, even the woman he loves... The conversation with his younger brother before his death is so sad, maybe people can do it with all their strength!
The younger brother, hypocritical and cowardly, always finds a high-sounding excuse for his despicableness. No matter how reluctant you are in your heart, you can resolutely abandon everything for yourself, but I have to say that this is the most people in the society.
The so-called girlfriend of the younger brother has a high IQ and is also the coldest. They often stab people in the dead end, use a knife to kill people, and manipulate everything. It seems that there is no sense of existence, but it is actually the bearer of the ugliest human nature. This is also the most terrifying type of people in the real society.
Brother and girlfriend, you can only say that what is wrong is good and evil. When good turns into evil, selfish human nature takes over the commanding heights. For her, only sympathy but no pity.
As a road movie, it doesn't fall into the rut, it doesn't make people feel that it is nutritious, but it gives people a deep thought, and it is not too much to call it a good movie. However, movies are not reality. The film discusses the extremes of human nature, so don't deny everything, maybe this is another truth.

Carriers quotes

  • Danny Green: The rules are simple. At least that's how my brother sees it. One, avoid the infected at all costs. Their breath is highly contagious. Two, disinfect anything they've touched in the last 24 hours. Three, the sick are already dead, they can't be saved. You break the rules, you die. You follow them, you live. Maybe.

  • Doctor: Sometimes choosing life is just choosing a more painful form of death.
