The character setting behind the story is more interesting than the story itself, but I just want to talk about the last bullet

The film is not bad, the filming is beautiful, the actors also want to look good, and they want acting and acting skills, at least they are all supported. But the story is still inseparable from the American green tea bitch's posture, which is a little bit angry.

But the various details are very interesting.

Some people don't understand the meaning of the last bullet. In fact, it is very simple to understand. It has nothing to do with human nature. The answer is in the story.

First of all, the propositions set by the professor are based on his belief that the boyfriend is not worthy of the heroine. Therefore, he set the background of the doomsday crisis to cover up the cruelty of eugenics or elimination, but created the illusion that they could save as many people as possible. But in fact, this is the same logic as choosing one of the two train tracks and choosing five at the beginning. Only this time, human skills and objective conditions are the prerequisites for selection. He wanted to prove that with that man, the heroine would regret it.
Girls will be happy only with the "excellent" him.

Then, after two rounds of games, the heroine couldn't stand it and counterattacked. Her setting is to tell the professor that it is not important what skills a person has, but whether the person can make life happier. The length of a person's life, or even the duration of the entire human race, is not important. What is important is that life is happy during this period of time. Instead of just reproducing for the sake of reproduction, being excellent for the sake of excellence.

In the end, the bullet, or the scene switching at the end of the film, is actually an open ending, telling you that the professor can end his life in the dark, or start a new one after the dark. Life, as for how to choose, you think about it yourself. . .

    A very creative little piece, but it stops there. The philosophical logic and visual effects at the beginning are also very attractive, but after the first doomsday, you will not be able to bear the pretentiousness and romanticism of these philosophers' thinking and logic. There is nothing wrong with such a script. It just has nothing to excite people. After all, all of this is just on paper, and the final ending is so "profound" that I don't even bother to understand it. ★★

    Just watch it as a scenery film

After the Dark quotes

  • [Mr. Zimit just announced to the class that they'll conduct a final big thought experiment, about survival during a global cataclysm]

    Chips: But what kind of cataclysm are we talking about? Gamma ray burst? Pandemic? Erupting super volcano? A sudden shift in the Earth's axis rotation? Grey goo?

    Mr. Zimit: Hang on, Chips, we'll get there.

    Chips: But is it biological? Geological? Thermo-nuclear? Meteorological?

    Mr. Zimit: Let's go old school. Say... atomic.

  • [In the third iteration, Petra waives her own eligibility, and now announces who receives the last remaining bunker slot]

    Petra: Bonnie, get inside.

    Bonnie: I'm a soldier, I know how to knock things down. You're an engineer, you know how to build things up. I'm not worth as much.

    Petra: My logic's fuzzier. In my apocalypse, everybody is worth as much as everybody else.

    Bonnie: I'm not letting you sacrifice yourself to save me.

    Petra: I won't let *you* sacrifice yourself to save me.

    Bonnie: Then we'll both go up in smoke, and you'll have wasted a slot for someone to live.

    [Petra then asks Chips instead of Bonnie for the last bunker slot]
