A disaster movie, still in a confined space, a few people, seemingly limited food, are isolated.
In fact, the ending is very simple, presumably basically everyone knows that the heroine will survive when they watch it. The heroine's character was portrayed by the camera from the very beginning. She stood in front of the glass window and watched the explosion of high-rise buildings in the distance. Behind her, there was a crowd of embarrassed fleeing people, accompanied by the shouting of her boyfriend.
What impressed me a lot was the scene where the corpse was chopped twice. The director asked three characters with different personalities to cut, and the situation was also different. The first one was the punk man. His personality changed a lot before and after the cut, starting with his sentence "the axe is blunt". The second was Sam who failed, and the third was the heroine, who slashed heavily amid the shouts of the crowd.
The first and third cuts are all character transformations.
In fact, the punk guy was a little scared at the end because he told sam "it's nothing, it's just about cutting wood". This sentence was repeated over and over again when he cut the body for the first time, and finally he let sam cut it, in fact, it was still self-motivation in his heart.
And the heroine, after being forced to chop the corpse, all those glandular hormones were stimulated. Pulling the switch, flirting and passionate with the man she hates the most, and jumping into the shithole at the end. In fact, the heroine has too many things in her heart that she wants to do, and she definitely wants to kill everyone, but she has no courage, or rather, she lacks a little impulse.
Aside from these details, I want to isolate, and more importantly, people's hearts.
In fact, my favorite in the film is the old man, there is nothing wrong with him. He doesn't disclose his food, and he doesn't believe that everyone can hold the situation. But he finally told the heroine how to escape. Ironically, the only time he believed, also allowed the heroine to "successfully" escape.
In a closed environment, who will believe who and who will live to the end, everyone inside is unknown. Humanity was dug out for real. After training, the black guy opened his locker and took a sip of water. When he was about to kill Sam, the person who raised the gun actually pointed the gun at his "bro". Everyone seems to be peaceful, everyone seems to be friendly, but in fact there is a very long distance in my heart. Otherwise, how could the heroine look at the fire in front of the fire, then lock the doors one by one rationally, and jump into the septic tank by herself?
The plot is very ironic. In fact, the director is not shooting an environmental disaster, but a small group of people with a mental disaster.
