Some of my viewing experiences

Tonight went to see "Crocodile Storm" with my roommate. Personally, I don't think the plot is very exciting. The whole film is about how the heroine and the father fight against the crocodile. The so-called horror is nothing but the sudden appearance of the crocodile and the scene of the crocodile biting people too bloody.

When watching the movie, there was such a scene, in order to be able to make a distress call, the heroine had to stay away from the safe area and pick up her mobile phone. But when she got the phone, the first thing she did was not to go back to the safe area, but to call for help, and then she encountered a very ferocious crocodile and almost bit her entire leg off. When I saw this, my roommate whispered to me, are the people in the movie so mindless? The brain circuits are different from our normal people. Shouldn't it be to return to the safe area and make a phone call?

My reaction at the time was exactly the same as my roommates. Later, after watching the movie, in retrospect, I realized that if it was us, it would not necessarily be better. Because human beings are actually an emotional animal, in times of crisis, unless they are specially trained, they are more emotional than rational. What is rationality? It's just three or four, and it's the education we've received over the years, and it's essentially anti-human. So, a lot of the time, we are emotional creatures. Therefore, in retrospect after the event, we will feel that what we did at that time was stupid and what should be done.

In addition, when we comfort others, we also like to say, if it were me, what would I do. This is just empty talk, because if you are not in the position of the party, you really can't understand what the party is doing, and you can't predict what you will do at this time. So, as the saying goes, don't stand talking without backache. Therefore, whenever someone tells me about her difficulties, I can only tell her how to think and choose a path that is most beneficial to her, but I really can't help her choose a path because I am not her.

Finally, a feeling is that the authorities are obsessed with bystanders. When we watch the movie, the reason why we feel that the hero and heroine should not do this, should not pick up the mobile phone and stand in the dangerous area, should not be greedy for temporary pleasure and lose our life in vain, because we are not in their world, We can know their environment, so we can analyze it calmly. But when we're also in this situation and don't know where we're at, I don't think we're going to do much better. Therefore, many times, when we evaluate the ancients, we feel that this is unacceptable, and that is unacceptable, and then we start to repeat the mistakes of history. Therefore, Du Mu would sigh like this: the Qin people were too busy to mourn themselves, and the descendants mourn;

    This film combines several common types of horror films such as confined space, hurricane disaster, and crocodile behemoth. Relying on Director Ajia's powerful audio-visual control ability, the viewing process has been in a state of tension. The rhythm is smooth and the atmosphere is good. It is expected that the types of movies in mainland theaters will be more abundant in the future.

    The combination of monster/disaster themes avoids the simple cliché of crocodile hunting (in other words, it is clearly the crocodile's combat effectiveness...)
