This film is very shocking.
A train, the world is full of attitudes.
Divorced couples, street singers, noble ladies and little white faces, old Jewish merchants, vacation couples, mothers and daughters, police...
There is a kind-hearted return, a broken mirror of love...
But what I want to talk to you today is not Doctor Chamberlain, but Colonel MacKenzie.
I think the most complicated and controversial person in the play should be Colonel MacKenzie.
When he knew that the fleeing drug dealer might carry bacteria, his first reaction was actually the same as that of a doctor-to catch the drug dealer to prevent the spread of the bacteria;
When he knew that the drug dealer had gotten into the train and the train had departed, he also gave an order to stop, but at this time the train was already in another country, and other countries did not agree to stop;
When the female doctor found that oxygen could cure the disease, he actually agreed to stop, but the transmitter had been destroyed by the drug dealer.
I'm not whitewashing him, but I just feel that this person can't just use "cold blood" and "cruel" to sum up all of him.
He is a politician and soldier first, and then himself.
As a politician of a country, he must first maintain stability.
Although human beings have evolved into the age of civilization over hundreds of millions of years, they are still animals in nature. Any disturbance will cause unnecessary accidents.
Stampede accidents can happen in supermarkets rushing for discounts on paper towels, let alone an infectious disease at the station?
All he can do is try to contact other countries to park, contact the doctor in the car, and provide medical equipment.
At the same time, maintaining stability.
Some people would say that the female doctor had already noticed that the dog had improved, why didn't she stop it?
That's because we are spectators, we can see the train, and we have God's perspective.
For Colonel MacKenzie, this is an infectious disease for which there is no cure yet! He is really not sure.
He also acquiesced to parking, but the communicator was broken and he lost contact with Doctor Chamberlain.
From an ethical point of view, it is certainly immoral for MacKenzie to do so.
At the end, he talked with the superior. The film did not show the superior's words, but judging from the plot, the superior should be complimenting him. He smiled bitterly: "I'm overwhelmed."
After hanging up, he was holding the phone and lost.
He stood up heavily, turned off the light, and the office was dark.
The subordinate invited him to drink, but he didn't answer a word, put on his coat, picked up his hat, and walked into the night alone.
This is a way of no return.
He was monitored.
Just like the Cassandra Bridge, the bridge of his life and the bridge of his faith will collapse because of this "accident", and he will fall from a height.
I believe that he may have been a passionate young man with ideals, standing at the gate of the military academy proudly stroking his military uniform; he may have stood under a banner solemnly swearing an oath; he may have also impassionedly rebuked ZF for various disobediences. As...
It's just that with the growth of his experience, he understood that a passion of blood would actually not make any difference. His bridge of faith gradually fell into disrepair.
After the film ended, many students reported that they could not understand the ending and thought that the ending was too hasty. I think the ending is the real finishing touch. The balance between humanity and power is fully demonstrated.
If this matter is exposed, MacKenzie is absolutely unable to protect himself, but the female doctor may survive. Therefore, the meaning of this sentence is twofold: 1. You are a doctor, and you don't care about some things, you can't care about it, you have to cherish yourself. 2. You have good medical skills, and you have the benevolence of doctors. Please cherish your knowledge and original intentions and continue to practice medicine! The former is his decision as a politician, and the latter is his attitude as a person.
The camera is aimed at Colonel MacKenzie's pupils. This is MacKenzie's torture of his soul, and it is also a helplessness under weighing.
"In your eyes, I must be a demon."
Therefore, I always feel that the back of Colonel Mackenzie walking alone into the night at the end is the loneliest scene in the whole show.
What will happen to the plot later?
The survivors told the media about the indifference and cruelty of politicians, and there was an uproar across the country. Colonel MacKenzie was sentenced and his subordinates took his place and continued to use the same means to "protect" the people.
Everyone is just a pawn. The most terrifying thing is not that you have discovered the darkness, but that you have discovered the darkness but have no power to change. After all parties are balanced, you can only adapt to the darkness.
