When the end comes

Just seeing the title of the film, you may think that this is an inspirational film, or a simple romantic drama. However, from the beginning to the end, in addition to the wonderful feeling of the film as a whole, there is also a strong shock that cannot be dissipated for a long time.
Since a few years ago, people have been claiming that 2012 is the end of the world, that all human civilization will end on December 23, 2012, and the disaster film "2012" was released at the right time, which really made people panic. . But in the eyes of more people, the so-called 2012, the so-called Mayan calendar is just a farce. The doomsday will not come at all, and human civilization will continue forever. At least, the doomsday will not come so hastily.
The film "Perfect Sense" shows us a different kind of doomsday.
A new type of virus has quietly begun to spread in all corners of the world. It is not deadly, but it is ten thousand times more terrifying than deadly. This virus spreads through people's emotions and desires. All the bad emotions of human beings will be transformed into the loss of one of the human senses. The world is shrouded in a cloud...
Sadness makes the sense of smell lose, fear makes the sense of taste loss, anger makes the hearing loss... The world is in chaos, the virus is spreading from person to person and emotionally out of control. However, in the film, the two people who love each other are not separated because of the overreaction of the human body before the loss of smell and taste. Instead, they become more intimate, but they fall apart simply because they are a precursor to anger before hearing. What I want to say is also the most hurtful, like a sharp sword, straight into the heart of the other party, and there is no room for recovery. Even if the cracks have already occurred, how can they be repaired overnight.
The film uses a unique perspective and uses a lot of montage techniques to show the audience the scene before the end of the world, when it arrives, and after the end of the world. The film uses a first-person narration to explain to the audience the changes in human psychology before and when each sense is lost. Some people are at a loss, others and there are always some people who "stubbornly believe that the world will continue." In their own way, this chaotic world is still running normally, so every time the situation gets out of control, there will be someone comforting others, and someone will sort it out when it is in a mess.
Perhaps landslides and fissures make people more inclined to choose an apocalyptic way than losing everything. However, the film brings us the positive side after all. When the end of the world comes, when we lose all our senses, when the world is shrouded in a dark cloud, as long as there is love, as long as love is by our side, we can't wait to embrace Caress each other, feel each other, love each other, love is a ray of sunshine that can dispel any cloud, even if we lose our last sight at the end," but they felt each other's breath, they knew everything about each other, they kissed, they Feel the tears on each other's cheeks." If anyone else could see it, they would find them caressing each other's faces like normal lovers, feeling each other's happiness and forgetting everything around them.
Because no matter what, life goes on. Because that is how life goes on.

    The horror atmosphere of the interlaced documentary drama is quite good, and the silence part in the back section is also handled well. But it's a bit of Gu Ying's self-pitying show (that passionate scene and meaningless dew point), and the two people's feelings are taken for granted, their so-called "love" is basically making love crazy

    The ultimate meaning of life is to be with you.
