The plot is very simple. A billionaire calls on people to control the surplus and maintain a balanced development. But no one listened to him, so he decided to do "population control" by himself, creating a big virus that could randomly reduce the human population by 50%.
But he was afraid that he would fail to release the virus, so he placed the virus in a mysterious place, and at a certain time, it would detonate him. In order to avoid the failure of the plan, he knew the place himself, but also let his loyal female fans and girlfriends know. It's just that the way the girlfriend knows is that she needs to know the show step by step through clues. That way if he fails, his girlfriend can go on a mission to save humanity.
Professor Robert was bewitched and used his reasoning ability to help this girlfriend find the virus. But in the end, justice triumphed over evil.
(The movie itself doesn't have much to talk about, because it's just that, and there's a lot of illogical stuff in it.)
What needs to be talked about is the concept put forward by this crazy rich man, which is the balance between population growth and resource growth. The reason is very simple, people need resources to survive, and the supply of resources is not unlimited. Then, if population growth exceeds the growth of resource supply by a large margin, it will almost certainly be a contradiction caused by insufficient resources in the end, and people will definitely have problems such as fights and wars. For human beings, war is a process of internal friction, which consumes a large number of people in a short period of time. It's just that war is too uncivilized. The virus is different, such as the Black Death mentioned in the movie. From 1347 to 1353, this thing killed 25 million Europeans, basically 1/3 of the total population of Europe at that time.
War and virus are essentially reducing the population, but the latter does not seem to blame anyone. The possibility of a large-scale war is not high these days, but the virus is not the same. In recent years, we have experienced a lot of virus panics, such as SARS, Ebola, etc., and we will also see that the spread of the virus is extremely terrifying in the current globalization and high population flow rate. of. Have you ever played the game "Virus Inc."? And Bill Gates gave a speech in which he mentioned that the real threat to human existence in the future is not a nuclear war, but a small virus.
It seems a bit far off. To put it simply, if there are enough resources, everyone will live in peace, but when resources are scarce, there is bound to be a fight. Human beings also "have all kinds of birds when the forest is big." Who would dare to say that there will be no such lunatics in the future to do some crazy things. Whether through war or virus to achieve their so-called "great goals"?
The movie certainly says that the lunatic is wrong, but it does not negate the basic points made by the lunatic about population growth and resource scarcity. Most people will not live in restraint and will not consider resource issues. This is the "tragedy of the commons" in economics.
