The ancestor of disaster films

Although it is an old film, it still seems quite shocking now~ There are many political factors in the film, which is a metaphor for the United States pushing people to the most brutal death zone, because the end of the train is a former concentration camp in Poland.
The two routes before and after, the former one is for NATO countries, the latter one is for Warsaw Pact countries, which means that NATO's route is safe, and the Warsaw Pact is not safe. It has something to do with the Cold War.
Hehe, China will never be able to make such a film, and it will never be able to make such a film.

    The classic mode of disaster films, ordinary people who are panicked but powerless and the government that does not care about the lives of the people in order to cover up the scandal, the group drama is wonderful, everyone has their own characteristics and roles, in the face of disasters can not only see the ugliness of human nature, but also discover Humanity flashes. The lines at the end take the political thriller to a new level. The colonel, who has always been thought to be domineering, is actually just a pawn of the superior, and can be discarded at any time.

    Confined space, germs spread, disasters follow, I like this movie very much, especially the mandarin dubbed version is quite classic. I saw it in the afternoon theater of Shanghai Humanities and Art Channel. This kind of movie was popular in my father's era, and it can be remade.

    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?

  • Dr. Jonathan Chamberlain: You can wash for a week. It will not make the slightest bit of difference.
