Maybe just a glimmer of hope for kindness

I like watching science fiction and watching niche movies recommended by others. Let me talk about the possible ways of understanding the film I feel:
1. The literal translation of the title is "the last survivor". Let me think that "the last" means the "last one", because the overall description of the female lead and the male second looks They are ordinary people who are relatively superficial, have no special personality and thinking, and are purely representative of men and women who show their humanity. The first man has a sense of responsibility. Because of scientific experiments, it is considered that nature is for the benefit of mankind. It turns out that the Americans have used weapons to rule mankind or attack hostile countries. Maybe it is about the Cold War. The first man repented and wanted to apologize with death, showing that he has a heart of repentance, a sense of responsibility, and wisdom as a scientist. The first man did not insist on having sexual power, but the second man showed strong sexual power and a desire to control the world. The first man is kind, he has made the second man and the heroine perfect, and he is willing to sacrifice his life to let them live. Among them, although the male one is one of the members of weapon research and development, he is purely for science. He is introverted by nature and hardly communicates with others. He is a nerd or a man of science and technology. Bad guys are either synonymous with loyalty in science fiction. In summary, the male one is actually a person of good quality in this film, and should be the "last" candidate.
2. It doesn't matter whether there is a God in the story, but I tend to think that there is no such thing. This can be seen in the section where the man shot Jesus.
3. The experiment should have nothing to do with this catastrophe. The American power outage mentioned in the film implies that the experiment and catastrophe are just a coincidence in time, so the interruption of the power grid in the finale has nothing to do with ending the catastrophe.
4. The cause of the catastrophe is that the sun is about to collapse. A clear phenomenon is that the amplitude of the electrons becomes longer. The result is that "life" "disappears". These "life" are clearly living animals. In the film There are eggs (unfertilized), and fish eggs. The eggs are sperm from before the catastrophe and the eggs are fertilized after the catastrophe (fish are basically in vitro fertilized), and there are uncorrupted corpses (fruits and vegetables may be refrigerated, not Explain that it is not corrupt), it is clearly stated that there are no maggots, and no bacteria and germs are mentioned. "Disappearance" may be true disappearance, that is, disappear in ashes. A small shock produces a spatial disorder, but it does not mean that it is a parallel world. The catastrophe may produce a large spatial disorder. For example, when the ending man arrives on Titan, it may become a quantum state, which will be discussed later.
5. The way to "dodge" the catastrophe is to dying, maybe it's a function to avoid it, maybe it's a failure to avoid it. "Escape" is because the consequences of the catastrophe are also uncertain, but in order to tell the result of the catastrophe, it is necessary to reappear to have this story, so I think it is a near-death failure, because the three of them are near-death. It is not always certain that they will die, and they cannot reach the near-death state at the moment of death. Only the final explosion is sure to die before they can enter the true near-death state.
To sum up, a catastrophe has occurred, and the "life" that has not entered the dying state has been transformed into a quantum state "disappeared" by this catastrophe, and the small shocks are caused by local spatial disorder. There are three people (three people in a crowd, there is no need to write so many people, of which the female lead represents the woman, and the male second represents the man) entered a pseudo-near-death state at the moment of the catastrophe. The near-death state itself is in a quantum state, which is caused by the catastrophe. The quantum state effect was ineffective, but the small shock space disorder effect was amplified or worked. However, when the three of them were moving to Titan, they all suddenly came back to life and missed the catastrophe. The story that happened afterwards just caused the male one to have the idea of ​​sacrifice, showing the unbearable human nature. In the finale, the male one was really near death and passed to Titan, and the female lead and the male two must have "disappeared". The background of the whole story is that human beings are destroyed by war and disputes. From the true purpose of the laboratory, Hitler's KD board, the disillusionment of love, the desire for power, and the desire for sexual desire, the author believes that such humans are hopeless. The sun destroys the earth, but the author still believes that goodness exists. Male One is the representative of goodness as ordinary people go from sin to repentance. There is no hope for human beings. The earth must be destroyed, but hope exists. Let him start again in a new world. The rise of the sun and Saturn should represent a new beginning. In the end, it would be a bit picky if there is only one male who can't reproduce. This is just a symbolic meaning, the real situation should be that everyone has disappeared. If you want to say this, there can be other people who happen to be dying. After all, they can’t confirm that there are only three of them in the world in those few weeks. It can also be a test conducted by God or a higher-level civilization. The test is periodic. After all, there are too many people to screen. . .
Finally, comment on the movie itself. The rhythm and taste of the story are still good, especially since most people think that before the heroine appears, after all, a person's performance in the end times is worth looking forward to. What everyone criticizes is that the author did not shoot more humane, darker, and cruel. Several times I felt that when this moment was about to come, the author was ambiguously suppressed, so the film would be a bit dull, flat, depressing, and not enough ups and downs. Or maybe the author wants to get a bit of art and a philosophical taste, or maybe it is because the funds are too small, and doing such a big account will increase the cost, and it can barely go on.
