How daring the people are, how prolific the land is

This is the first time I watched a Korean disaster film, and I was quite resistant to this kind of subject matter. It was only because of many recommendations. After watching it, I can't help but be stunned: Korean movies are really made without taboos. It's really how bold people are and how productive the land is.

As far as the story itself is concerned, there are still many loopholes. The strong aura of the protagonist shrouded in the male protagonist often makes me suspect: such a deadly virus that spreads the city through breathing seems to have no effect on the male protagonist. Walking through the isolation area, crawling and rolling in mass graves as if they were no one, and finally safe and sound. But I have to say that Korean films dare to use a disease disaster film to challenge the state power at the same time, to insinuate the interference of the American "super police", which is also rio bold.

In my impression, many Korean films in recent years have reacted sharply to the criticism of the political level. Compared with "Horror Live Room", this film seems empty and pale in this regard. However, using such shocking footage as a stadium mass grave to nakedly express this kind of attack is probably the only one I've seen so far.

I have to say that the exploration of human nature in the film is still successful, and many evil and good things are also justified. At the end, when the little girl stretched out her hands to stop her mother, I burst into tears of shame. I think I can really appreciate the selfish behavior of this mother, because after all, this is the only daughter she relies on.

Although the cliché of a big reunion inevitably fell in the end, and the director's boldness finally compromised with gentleness, but I am a little glad that it ended like this, because I am worried that if it is really cruel in the end, the blood will flow into the river, and I am afraid that it will be true in my heart. unacceptable.
