After reading the title, I thought it was a second-rate disaster film, and at the beginning I thought it was a second-rate horror film. It was not until halfway through that I understood what the director wanted to convey to the audience: the self-destruction and redemption of human beings, the tenacity and counterattack of nature.
It's easy to fall into the established frame when watching this movie, a disaster movie or a psychological horror movie. Actually, it's a movie with a certain depth. Humans suddenly find that they can’t go outside. Once they step outside, they will definitely die. Even if they are fully armed and hide in the car, as long as they are not in the building, they will end up the same. This seems very suspenseful, virus? Air? Deadly rays? Actually it's not, because the audience doesn't have to ponder what the reason for death is at all, just understand that people can't leave the reinforced concrete built by human beings.
The film lays two foreshadowings in the middle, one is an ultrasound photo of the girlfriend found by the protagonist in the process of looking for his girlfriend, yes, pregnant, and before the end of the film, the audience will find that the toddler is free Going in and out of the outdoors; one was mentioned to him by the protagonist during the escape process. There is a primitive tribe of such and such in such and such places. In fact, think about it, what do new lives and primitive tribes have in common? The answer is already clear.
Before the end of the film, the protagonist finally found his girlfriend, but the two were separated by a street. The protagonist finally had to cross the street outdoors to reach his girlfriend's building. The content here is a bit cliché, but when the protagonist struggles , crawling, and finally crossing the street, the audience finally breathed a sigh of relief. In the end, the love of human beings, the desire to survive, and the desire to protect new life saved human beings.
At the end of the film, the protagonist's son has grown into a teenager, and started a journey in nature with other surviving teenagers. Outside the gate, as far as the eyes can see, are all emerald green, and high-rise buildings are completely covered by green plants. Covered, the reinforced concrete of the city is wrapped in a piece of vine branches and leaves, nature has completely occupied this planet, and the humans born before the disaster who have not died can only breathe in the buildings, human beings are very small in front of nature, new A round of struggle will begin again.
