On the first day of September, I watched an old movie "Cassandra Bridge", and I was really amazed! There are no stunts, no big scenes, and the descriptions of various characters in the dull train journey arouse deep thinking and inner thinking!

Never thought about how people will react when faced with an impending disaster? Is it escaping, resisting, crying, or silently waiting for it to come... In the face of disaster, people will behave differently, all secrets will eventually be revealed, couples who are in conflict will reconcile, and even bad people will be affected by their hearts. The shock becomes brave and just. The movie "Cassandra Bridge" is such a film.

The film tells the story of two criminals who were discovered by the police when they sneaked into the United Nations headquarters in Geneva to steal important documents. During the escape, the two criminals escaped into the laboratory. The police chasing after them accidentally shot and smashed the chemicals, and one died on the spot. , another person caught the virus and escaped on a train, and the chemical quickly spread the virus,

The most impressive characters are a male doctor and a female writer. They are an old couple who have been divorced twice. In fact, they both still love each other, but their strength and arrogance will always lead to conflicts between the two. When they first learned that the train was infected with the virus, in the face of the disaster, the two proud hearts slowly melted and blended together. I believe that after this disaster, they will have a deeper love and will not be separated from the third Second marriage!

The mountaineer, when the secret that he was a drug dealer was discovered, tried to threaten others to let him escape from the car, but when the male doctor faced him and the gun in his hand fearlessly and let him shoot, humanity still shined, and he let go gun. In the end, he gave his life to stop the train from heading to the bridge. When he was shot and killed by the police, I believe that everyone would not call him a bad guy, a criminal, but would think he was a real hero.

The Jewish old man, he appeared as a very cheerful, helpful and lovely old man at the beginning, full of love and humorous speech and demeanor makes people feel that he is a very popular and respected old man, always happy, but when When he knew that the train was heading for the Cassandra Bridge, the pain of the past buried behind his smile flooded into his heart like a tide, and he made an attempt to escape, but failed. Thinking back to the pain in the concentration camp Years, the death of his wife and children made him so afraid and fearful of the Cassandra Bridge, and finally he set himself on fire to help everyone!

Also, in order to stop the spread of the virus, the senior US military decided to drive the train to the Cassandra Bridge, which was already in tatters and could collapse at any time... And the kindness of the female doctor and the nature of saving the wounded, try to control the disease and cure it so that people should Go back to the right track of life, and don't want to see a simple and rude person watching a train brutally push them to death!

The film uses strong contrasts, love, family, friendship, and reflects the exquisite beauty in the entire carriage. When we learned that the virus spread and everyone was in danger, the ugliness and contradictions slowly emerged. But when they face the bridge of Cassandra together and face the fear of disaster and death, the ugliness disappears in an instant, driven by kindness and bravery, and everyone twists tightly into a rope, fighting against death and resisting evil. US military.

Through the beautiful scenes of the passengers in the second-class carriages being exchanged for risking their lives, and the aftermath of the catastrophe, people experience the preciousness of life and emotion! The doctor and the writer hugged and kissed so touchingly!

Finally, the first few carriages drove into the bridge, and then the bridge collapsed. Countless corpses and luggage floated on the river, which deeply touched my heart. This is a tragedy caused by the evil American military! When everything was over, the commander of the U.S. military was also under surveillance, and the long back was full of helplessness and pain...
