If it is used as entertainment, this movie may not be satisfactory to you as a disaster film or a feature film. I will not refute all the labels of "empty plot", "insufficient characterization", "fragmented lines" and so on. But friends who have the above views, I can only say that because you are not medical students anymore. . . Watching this film is one of our homework. In the words of our respectable microbiology teacher, "This is one of the few movies I have seen that is close to the actual situation." At least in the eyes of our medical students, there is a lot of relevant medical knowledge in the film (I will not list them one by one, just give a few examples: not just any animal can be used as a source or host of infection, pigs It’s very common, and there are many bats, such as flaviviruses. The scientific research allowed by biological laboratories of different security levels is different. The key is safety. This is not a joke. Regarding vaccines, Jude Law also said. It is not unreasonable. Our great female scientist can only do human experiments on herself in the case of a serious illness. The film shows us only this example, but then it was mass-produced and applied to the world, although this It is a special situation that saves people from fire and water, but no one knows what will happen in the future), which shows that the director has worked hard and consulted many professional medical professionals to perfect this film. All in all, the director’s intention as I understand it is to popularize science and try to arouse the common people’s sense of anxiety. This film has a good original intention. It can be said that there are very few commercial elements, which explains the cast to a certain extent. Why is it so powerful?
Sure enough, my deep feeling at the moment is that if you don't have enough understanding, you may not be able to understand the director's good intentions and the preciousness of his works. There are various forms of expression in movies. In many cases, we will get used to the Hollywood-style story mode, and use storytelling as the criterion for evaluating movies. This is the circle I am trying to get out of.
