In the face of disaster, any choice is understandable

In the face of disaster, everyone's choice is understandable, because everyone has only one purpose - to survive, and everyone reflects their own purpose with their own actions.

Was the choice of the American officer wrong in the film? He came to manage the scene on behalf of other countries. He considered the survival and safety of other countries. If the virus really spread, other countries might repeat the same mistakes. Will he care about the people who are trying to break through the fence? And the President of South Korea thinks about his own people, he doesn't want to give up those people when there is still hope, even if those people may carry the virus, but still have hope, because he is the president, he is responsible for the safety of all South Korean people , he is also human, not omnipotent, and sometimes he cannot be helped. What about Soo Ae? She has only one child, and if the child is gone, what's the point of living alone? She can gamble on her daughter's life with an undetermined treatment method, because that is the last hope, and she can accept that Zhang He was taken away by Zhang He who was mistaken for poisoning in order to save her daughter, because as long as it was for her daughter, she could give up anything.

Everyone lives with one goal in mind, and they can do whatever they can to survive.

There are a few clips in the film that really touched me.


first fragment

Before and after this clip, you will find that the president is empty, and the prime minister can directly order without going through the president. Instead, a group of people blocks the president and prevents the president from ordering. Of course, there may be reasons for the division of power, but at this time, However, I felt powerless as a president and could not stop it. Everyone was thinking about the so-called overall situation, not thinking about those people, and finally relying on force to balance.


second fragment

In the whole movie, basically all adults are protecting the children, but in the end the children bravely stood up to protect the adults, the soldiers did not shoot, probably because the children are all angels, and they all have the ability to infect others. In "Train to Busan", the child sings a song to come out of the tunnel, so as to avoid being shot, probably for the same reason.
