When we were studying screenwriting, Syd Field's "The Fundamentals of Screenwriting" was a must-see for us.

For example, the last point of despair heralded the beginning of the ending, but the general Hollywood The ending of the movie is often happy, and the protagonist is basically alive.
The plot setting of this movie gave me a surprise. The death of the male protagonist at the end was unexpected, and I realized that this is not about the hero's ingenuity to rescue himself, but the US government's ignorance that led to the death of ordinary citizens. die. The film depicts the language of different characters on the other end of the phone. From the dialogue with customer service, the government, the company, friends, parents, etc., we can see the indifference of the American government and the fragility of the relationship between people. .

From the very beginning, the tone of the officials' buck-passing tone foreshadowed the end, and I shouldn't have expected the male protagonist to go out, life or death, from the very beginning.
All that can be done is to wait quietly for death, which is really a desperate film.
