After watching "Train to Busan", I watched "Influenza" with the mentality of continuing to analyze human nature, but found that most natural disasters will eventually become man-made disasters due to various reasons. Worse than the flu and natural disasters are the stupidity and selfishness of leaders. The first half of the film is really about the spread of the flu. The virus spreads through the respiratory tract. When the infected person coughs, the picture will turn yellow, and the droplets will be magnified, creating the horror of a medical knowledge popularization film.
It may also be my personal limitation of watching movies. In the amazing Korean movies I have watched, there are inevitably the shadows of little girls. "Suyuan" is, "The Gift of Room 7" is, "Train to Busan" is, "Influenza" "Too.
The innocence of children is often easy to arouse the greatest kindness in the hearts of the audience. The stronger this kindness is stimulated, the stronger the sense of substitution and the feeling of boredom to the villains in the story.
Different from "Train to Busan", people's desire to survive in "Train to Busan" is displayed to the maximum extent, and this desire overcomes conscience. In order to survive, regardless of everything, choosing to be a good person or a bad person is all one's own decision; "Influenza" In ", the government and the people are divided into two factions. The people think about survival, the government thinks about isolation, and they want to "choose the more important Republic of Korea." To "tear down" the city. What is even more terrifying is that the people initially unconditionally believed in the government and believed that the infected were taken away for "treatment", until they saw them wrapped like silkworms, thrown away, and burned to death. People are outraged, and the film reaches its climax.
In the face of a huge disaster, everyone is a small individual, and the hero and heroine are just a microcosm of these people. All living beings are like ants, panicked and at a loss. Those who contract the virus face death, the uninfected have to defeat the government, and ironically, military repression seems to be more heart-wrenching and more likely to shatter people's hopes.
Of course, people with bright personalities are also portrayed, highlighting the brilliance and ugliness of human nature in the face of catastrophe, but far from the stupidity and abandonment of a ruling group that makes people unforgettable.
It wasn't until "They are my people." that the
president looked stern and insisted on protecting the people that the tears came too late.
Yes, only such a decision, only such a fearless, can make people feel at ease.
