Taking the fire in the isolation area as the dividing point, the film can be divided into two halves.
The first half is sharp, cruel, and naked human nature is revealed; the second half, gentleness (warmth), hope, family, recovery...
Music, I always think it is one of the souls of the movie. In the quarantine area, the elderly black people are holding radios and playing happy dance music for everyone, which is a rare warm scene in the first half. In addition, the first half of the music is fearful, the grass and trees are all soldiers, the fear is endless, and others are the dark forest.
About an hour into the show, I had no idea how the movie was going to end when a quarantine war was inevitable. Could it be another version of Sodom's 120th or the Gatekeeper at Midnight? Fortunately, there was that fire. The brave woman found a lighter out of nowhere and ended the quarantine for me.
Along with that, the music also switched. A heavy rain will come that washes away all sins. People are still people. Wife finds love for husband, supermarket basement is full of food. The blind husband protects his wife, the stray dog finds a place to take him, and the sight of the eyes begins. The director is really kind, and the man-made dog food scene is handled very gently.
You can read any thoughts you want from it. The government's inaction, the dark animal nature of human nature, the fragility of the machine in modern society, the prediction of the future...
What I saw was what Helen Keller said a long time ago: people with bright eyes can see things that are not as good as her. A deaf and blind man came much more.
