old movie revisited

The first time I saw it, I was young, in elementary school. I didn't understand a lot of the plot at that time, especially Mr. Kaplan when he heard the train going to Poland and muttered that he had escaped from there. I didn't understand it. I thought he was also a fugitive and served a prison sentence in a concentration camp. I don't understand why he had to jump out of the car. Now I understand that he was in a Nazi concentration camp.

The railway dispatching equipment in the film didn't notice anything at the time, I thought it was just a prop, but when I look at it now, I can see the difference in the technical level at home and abroad. The first time I saw it, I didn't feel the advantages of electrified railways. The mobile phones, guns, and other equipment used by soldiers in the film, as well as people's legal awareness.

Revisiting the details of the movie again, the specific plot is secondary.

    I thought it was a biochemical disaster movie, but it turned into a political thriller. There are cultural imprints unique to the 1970s, mixed with the love-hate relationship between Dr. Chamberlain and his ex-wife Jennifer. Focused on presenting several groups of people with ghosts. The rhythm is relaxed and the story is equally intense. The suspense mainly comes from whether the train can be forced to a stop before reaching the Cassandra Bridge. The director made full use of the environmental space inside the train, and placed a large number of action scenes in the second half, showing a strong viewing experience, four stars.

    Look again, because of the actual epidemic, which is flooding in Europe. Still moved and shocked. The first time I saw it, I had a deep impression of Sophia Roland's beauty, although it was still in its infancy. Looking at it now, I still feel the kindness in his eyes. It deduces the answer of the Haval Ethics Open Course in the shuttle of European style and scenery: at any time, we must adhere to the justice of the procedure, and never give up the current efforts and hope. Behind the impure process, there is always an impure purpose. Never be fooled by the vision and purpose justice in those grand narratives, if it makes people suffer from the vile brutality and lies of the moment.

    Dr. Jonathan Chamberlain: What you're up against? I may be the only doctor for a thousand potential plague victims if I haven't caught it myself.

    Col. Stephen Mackenzie: That's exactly why it's important to contain the disease now and why you'll all be heading for an isolation facility in Poland, where you'll get the very best...

    Dr. Jonathan Chamberlain: In the meantime, what do you intend I fight it with? Aspirin?
