but I haven't watched it yet. I watched it today and it feels good.
The rhythm and atmosphere of the whole film are very well controlled and there are many detailed pictures and dialogues. After watching it, the whole person is
very impressed .
As the movie is suppressed, in
fact, I feel that I can still survive in this claustrophobic and desperate environment. The
director told everyone that
there are only two ways to survive together, staying rational and trying to be altruistic . There is a
shortage of resources, and everyone is desperate and can't see the future. Next, it is easy to expose the bestiality of
black people starving, desperately trying to rob Mickey's food, so the director sentenced him to death and
chopped up the corpse. Of course, the elder brother who sentenced him to death
also exposed his sexual desire and food possessiveness at the end, and he was in the same league with the man who chopped up the corpse. The director also sentenced him to death and has been in a desperate environment. There is old Mickey
who has always remained rational.
, has always maintained a high degree of rationality, he is not bad at heart (with guns, it is really bad people who can deter these people from the beginning, and also hide the guns of the intruders later), the incident of his wife and children (the picture flashed by , should be related to 911, so he mentioned that the intruder may be an Arab terrorist) makes it highly distrust others. His rationality even made him go against his conscience and do some very extreme actions, such as forcibly closing the door and not letting outsiders in. With an axe, he wants to cut down the person who wants to open the door. His rationality and distrust can only allow one person to survive in this desperate apocalypse, and it is impossible for everyone, a group, to survive, and the final outcome is still death and extinction. So the director gave him the death penalty.
The heroine's boyfriend has always been rational. In this environment, he tried his best to suppress his animal nature, and even read books from time to time. Although he has an altruistic tendency, due to his own weakness and powerlessness, and the selfishness in his heart (he killed the younger brother who was ambiguous with his girlfriend), he was the target of the director's decision to criticize, so he was finally given the death penalty.
Middle-aged women are actually rational. She betrayed her body, not because of sexual desire, but because of her grief and confusion after her daughter was kidnapped by the invaders. The daughter was forcibly taken away, making her realize her weakness. Therefore, reason tells her that she must rely on a strong backer to survive in this claustrophobic and desperate environment. Therefore, he took the initiative to send his arms to the man who cut the corpse, but the development of the situation was beyond his own imagination. The director strongly criticized the inappropriate use of this rationality and sentenced it to death with a tragic ending.
The younger brother, the younger brother is also highly calm and rational in his heart. It can even be said that among the crowd, he has always been the most calm and rational. In my spare time, I go to paint. However, his rationality is completely isolated from others, and his attitude is neutral. Although he expresses his attitude, he has no substantial altruistic behavior. In a certain sense, it can also be said to be a manifestation of weakness, and it is essentially the same person as the heroine's boyfriend. Of course, the director sentenced him to death, and it was executed with the hands of the heroine's boyfriend.
The heroine, the whole movie, from beginning to end, implies the person who should survive the most. The heroine has always been rational and calm. And help others based on rational judgment of the situation. From the beginning of the shelter at night, I have been observing the environment everywhere. Reporting on Mickey is for everyone to survive together. I want to constantly comfort middle-aged women and care about their psychological thoughts. In the chaos of the crowd, promptly threw the obtained intruder gun into the cesspool. There is both rationality and altruistic behavior, but the last-minute behavior, the betrayal of Mickey's trust, was somewhat criticized by the director. Of course, the heroine's final betrayal may come from her despair of human nature after so many things. In the end, the director did not sentence the heroine to death, nor did he give her a hopeful ending. The heroine wore a mobile biochemical suit and faced the ruins of the city. There are still a few people left, and the future is still hopeless.
The director may want to tell everyone.
In fact, it is not really impossible to survive in a closed and desperate environment for everyone.
As long as people keep their rationality and altruistic behavior that they are called human beings, they can survive together.
Everyone can communicate with each other, and the zero morality of the prisoner's dilemma does not exist (Amway three-body).
Maybe in another time and space, old Mickey is not so distrustful of others. A leader like the male lead in The Walking Dead from the start. Relying on the hidden gun to suppress the outbreak of the brutality of the man who chopped the corpse, he did not prejudice black people so much at the beginning, and drew the black man and the older brother to share food and protect everyone. After the intruder incident, while the door was not welded to death, he snatched more biochemical suits and successfully broke through, instead of making the inexperienced older brother stunned and rushing in because of various mistrust. Or the breakout is unsuccessful, relying on food that can eat for several years, telling everyone to escape from the septic tank, or planning other methods, rather than spending it in zero-morality internal friction.
