The story is well set throughout, with a group of people trapped in a basement, and each reacting differently as time goes on and food becomes scarcer.
Veteran is a very sane person
From the time the nuclear bomb began to see the influx of people, he chose to close the door to get a glimpse of it. When I first saw it, I was still wondering why not let them in. The basement can obviously accommodate a lot of people, and then Immediately some of his lines helped me answer this question, because after the nuclear bomb exploded, it is not possible to go out immediately, and it has to wait for an unknown number of days (because it may take a long time for the radiation dust in the air to settle and disappear). The better it is for him to grow up, and to go out at that time can guarantee safety, and the food in the basement is limited, the more people the more bad for him, and secondly, as a veteran, he has experienced a lot, so he has long known that the more people here, the better. There may be chaos, evil, (he explained when he was bound and the woman was about to be released, that he wanted to see who was sinful, which can be used as a reference, of course not ruling out the lie that he wanted to be released). The veterans controlled the food, which aroused strong dissatisfaction among the blacks, and followed him to find the place where the food was stored. Later, the blacks were killed in the fight. So the people tied up the veterans. I don’t know if you have the same doubts as me during this process, that is, the black people holding guns and kidnapping the veterans were all seen by the old woman, but when the veterans were kidnapped and tortured, she didn’t mention it at all. this matter. Maybe she felt that the veteran was very insecure, or maybe she also felt that the veteran was hiding food, unknown. But the direct consequence of the veterans being tied up is that the two white people are completely evil, indulging in sex, abusing old women, controlling food and water, and so on. So we can see that the veteran is actually very useful, and he can have a deterrent effect, because he is a soldier, and all the choices he has experienced and made are rational behaviors. From my point of view, I have never felt that the veteran is hiding. The angle is selfish behavior, because he is the food distributor, it is not good for him, but black people, plus everyone else at this time, all think he is selfish to hide food, this is undoubtedly the veteran who is tied up The immediate cause of the tragic end.
Black people, relatively ignorant, relatively simple and direct thinking, impulsive and irrational people
The ignorance of black people, it is too simple to analyze things, from the time when he tried to use the radio (the old soldier called him an idiot at the time), because the explosion of the nuclear bomb produces a powerful electromagnetic pulse, most of the electronic equipment will be paralyzed, and the particle layer in the air will also be Intense disorder, this is actually covered in high school physics. . Then there is his misunderstanding of the veteran. His impulsive behavior can be seen when he takes out the pistol. His thoughts and actions are too extreme, until he explodes when he sees the veteran taking out the food, resulting in a tragic death. The veteran said it was a fire. Death, I don't know how credible you think?
The old woman, the lowly lascivious self-defeating person
, was kidnapped from her daughter, broke out, and wanted to open the door and go out. Hysterical, regardless. In fact, from the back, (a white man is wearing a protective suit, 2 white people help him open the door) If she insists on going out if she communicates well, those people are only the young woman and a normal white (later the younger brother of one of the 2 white rulers) ) may block, others will actually agree. Then, thinking that her daughter was dead, she became lewd, pursued the pleasure of the flesh, and gave up on herself. In fact, is her daughter really dead? Later, I analyze the
young woman, a person with sound personality, rationality, courage and decisiveness.
This is a person who left a deep impression on the audience in the film. She never gave up to survive, never gave up on herself, did not compromise, and did not remain silent even when the veteran was tortured. She felt that she should not violate morality and ethics, and it could be seen that her character was very sound. At the same time, she also understands the cowardice in his ex-boyfriend's character, so when his ex-boyfriend wants to make peace with her, she refuses in silence, which shows that she is very rational. Throat, outstanding bravery (it can also be seen when she is forced to divide her body with an axe). Lock the door at the end and wear protective clothing to escape. Highlight her decisiveness.
2 rulers, ignorant and selfish, evil and indulgence
have taken off the coat of morality, there is no bottom line in doing things, the audience has their own opinions, and I don't want to talk about
the man in white in the story.
Here, I have comprehensively read what some people have written, and some of my own opinions. I feel that they are not rulers, but government rescuers. The audience's doubts are as follows: 1. Why did the girl forcibly kidnap? 2. Why did they shoot , 3, why don't you save other people, 4, why you inject things with girls, 5, why don't you communicate with them, if the background is that the United States has been hit by a large area of nuclear bombs, and the government rescuers are limited and issued, give priority to saving children and young women (have fertility), we know that it is not so easy to save the radiation from nuclear bombs. In the case of large-scale destruction of the city, the resources are all relying on airdrops, which is really limited, not to mention the number of people is too large, only saving children is beyond the capacity , in the film they used a pager to say there was one here when they saw the young woman, but they turned a blind eye to the old woman, combined with the content on the business card, as to why they didn't communicate, because they couldn't save everyone, so they could only keep silent, as for Shooting must also be a mandatory rule of the government. In that case, everything follows the system, and there is no way to control human nature. Why is the hair of the children in the laboratory shaved? Because the hair will be infected with radiation, and touching the skin will cause damage. From a rational point of view, as terrorists do (911), these Arab and regional terrorists have not yet been able to capture the entire United States, reach a place where a nuclear bomb has blown up, and also Risking radiation to create a site for human experimentation is certainly laughable.
Therefore, the old woman in the film thinks that her daughter is dead, so she has no support and starts to indulge. Presumably if she has a chance to know, it will be very painful.
As for the end, don't simply analyze the young woman's practice from a good or bad point of view. -- Abandon those two, lock the door, and escape alone -- for better or for worse. The background is, there is only one set of protective clothing, this is the desire to live, it is a soldier, the soldier will do it, it is the cowardly boyfriend, he will do it if he knows, there is no right or wrong, because this is not a moral supremacy This movie has always been about human nature and what kind of story people will make when they are trapped. This film has made a hypothetical simulation, which is worth watching.
