I have seen a lot of performances of heroes fighting against the apocalypse, too many confrontations with heavy firepower, large-scale battles, bloody eyes, except for soldiers in uniform, most of the common people, when the destruction is imminent, How will we face when there are no heroes and no army to rescue?
The opening scene of the film is the scene of the nuclear bomb coming in the eyes of the heroine, and then countless people began to flee in panic, but a door that was ruthlessly closed blocked most of them in the radiation area, and in the basement inside the door, there were five men and two women. Plus a little girl luckily rushed in, the basement owner's territory. At this time, outside the gate is already a hell on earth, and the radiation dust all over the world is enough to kill all the humans exposed during the period. Therefore, the big iron gate has turned the basement into an independent space isolated from the world.
So here comes the problem. Several survivors have a bunch of problems in front of them. The basement owner is not very friendly. These uninvited guests are not welcome, and according to the current situation, the intruders will stay here for a long time. Time, food and water enough? How will the sanitation problem be solved when so many people are facing extreme water scarcity? However, the homeowner who has almost all the resources is only alone. Can the tough attitude make up for the huge disparity in strength? Can you keep your exclusive resources?
The editor soon gave the answer. In this claustrophobic environment, as time passed day by day, the living conditions of several "guests" began to deteriorate, and the psychological conditions and emotions of several "guests" began to gradually change. When the uninvited guest came, it broke out completely. The situation of "there are still people outside the door" gave them hope of going out. Everyone who had been trapped for a long time held the idea of going out to find out what happened and saving the kidnapped little girl. , but led to the end of the basement being completely sealed. The completely desperate "guests" attacked the host, and the host's food and drinking water became the resources shared by everyone. However, the new authority did not intend to maintain the shared situation, and even more unbearable oppression fell on the remaining few.
Through an apocalyptic background and a relatively closed space, the film forcibly circles several relative strangers together. Then, a very realistic and ruthless live broadcast of the gradual changes in mentality, emotions, behaviors, and outbreaks of this group of people living in this special environment. Through such a picture, the audience can see that in a desperate environment, the little-known side of people's hearts, or cruel, cowardly, or shameless, will gradually be revealed and enlarged until it finally occupies the whole person's heart, with As for the complete transformation of a person. After facing the apocalypse, what awaits you may also be more cruel survival issues, as well as mutual conflict and devotion among survivors. In the face of the problem of survival, the ugliness of human nature and the complete degeneration of morality are obvious, and only the walking dead under the skin are left.
