The movie is rated R, which is a restricted rating, and children under the age of 17 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian to watch. Many pictures have explicit scenes of violence and sex, which greatly impact your senses, especially violent scenes such as dismembering corpses and cutting fingers, which make people feel sick. But I think the significance of these images in the film is more psychological. In that closed environment, it is not surprising that people who tend to go crazy do anything.
The main point of the movie is not only the content of the story itself, but also how the world will be destroyed, not only referring to the demise of the entire human society, but also the end of this small basement world. It will only be human beings who will destroy human beings. Similarly, in the small underground world, different judgments and choices made by human nature in the face of different situations also determine the survival or destruction of this world.
Human nature is fundamentally selfish, and the movie reflects this from all angles, whether it's Micky who is stealing food, Bobby who is in a madness, or a woman who abandons her fiancé at the last moment, it doesn't make any difference. , In the face of the temptation of survival, human nature shows its ugliest side. It is not difficult to understand that when people are at the bottom of Maslow's hierarchy of needs, survival is the highest priority. And this miniature world is also like a microcosm of human society. Before the disaster, it was a rational and logical society. When gathered underground, it is similar to a dictatorship. After losing hope, a chaotic and anarchic society, until the end of society, is like a The reverse of human progress so far. Hope this doesn't happen.
