    For classic movies like this, my mother bought them back very early, and they watched the Blue Bridge, the distant bridge, the bodyguard, Walter’s defense of Sarajevo, the murder on the Orient Express, Casablanca... all of them were watched in my high school....

    Today, the Central Sixth TV broadcast again, which is worthy of classic movies, especially classics in translations. Even from today's point of view, the plot setting is still very good, and the film rhythm is very tight. As a disaster film, the biggest disaster is not the plague, but the dark political heart. The last sentence, "He just left, the woman is gone, I will send someone to watch" is chilling. In addition, the terrorists in this film can also be Europeans (Swedes), and the terrorist...

    Thanks to CCTV Movie Channel, the old film screenings on the 40th anniversary of the reform and opening up, the disaster caused by the pneumonic plague is actually not just a biochemical disaster, but also a dirty political deal.

    The classic works in the disaster film use highly contagious virus elements, closed dead city conditions, and final death time limit as the prerequisites for the construction of the genre structure, and the advancement of the story basically follows the principle of trinity. The relationship between the characters of the All-Star lineup shows group-like and intermeshing dramatic contradictions, which also makes the film more layered and viewable. The film was created in the 1970s. The...

    I watched this movie after watching "Travel to Busan". Suddenly felt that the Busan trip was inferior. On one subject, bacterial infections and infectious diseases are very likely to happen in daily life. Second, in the context of the Cold War at the time, this film satirized bureaucracy and international politics, disregarding human life, and politicians would rather sacrifice the lives of innocent people for the sake of stability as a secret. Third, the relationship, contradictions and...
