but for a thriller from M, I think it should still be watched with anticipation, and its beginning does not disappoint you. Everyone stood still, took a few steps back, talked nonsense, and then chose various ways to commit suicide without any pain. In particular, the sight of people jumping down from the "biabia" upstairs is really creepy and stimulates your nerves. However, while these details are necessary elements of a good thriller, it seems that a good movie should not have too many baffling logically, and this movie happens to have many baffling.
Talk about some illogicalities.
First of all, there is no formal explanation of why things happened from beginning to end. From the beginning, we have been puzzled by doubts, which may be what a good thriller should do. It's fascinating. From the news that there was a terrorist attack, we began to speculate and search for answers. And then citing Einstein's theory that humans died four years after the bees disappeared, and we're even more confused. Well, let's just assume that's a clue. However, in the face of such a catastrophic disaster, we have never been able to obtain strong evidence to prove the cause of the disaster. Without official authoritative speeches, are the official speeches in the United States still unconvinced by the people? The "truth" of the matter came from the mouth of a neurotic old man, and this old man is not an authoritative person such as an expert in XX science, so the truth from his mouth is more like a superstition and a delusional statement~
Second, even if we accept the cause of the catastrophe, the catastrophe itself is intertwined with a multitude of illogicalities. The spread of the disaster seems to be spread by the wind. However, how did the protagonist find out that a disaster that was caused by the wind was spreading, and the illogical place followed. What is the wind spreading? , a substance like pollen, or some other information that we humans don't know that can transmit information in different plants? Moreover, plants feel threatened to launch such attacks, so what threatens plants, pollution? Greenhouse effect? Or some other reason? Did it cause the plant to mutate? Or stimulate the potential protective function of the plant itself? I think a good movie, a good thriller, certainly needs to ask some questions and let the audience use their imagination or guess the reasons, but at least it should all be on the same logic level, right? That is to say, you let the audience imagine environmental pollution, which is understandable, because this is a fact on the surface, at least the problems caused by pollution should also be understood by the audience. Throw it to the audience and let the audience answer their own questions completely by their own imagination, which is bound to make everyone question the lack of strictness in the design of the film.
In the end, how was such a severe, widespread disaster brought under control? Why did it stop suddenly, and the suspense at the end made you feel that everything didn't stop...
In fact, I just felt that there were a lot of unpleasant places, so I wrote the above words , I looked back and saw that what I said was actually very weak. It seemed that I didn't analyze it thoroughly.
