Facing the Cassandra Bridge

I often think about how people will react when facing an imminent disaster. Escape, resist, cry, or wait silently for its arrival...In the face of disasters, people will behave differently, all secrets will eventually be revealed, conflicting couples will reconcile themselves, and even bad people will be affected by their hearts. The impact became brave and justice. The movie "Cassandra Bridge" is just such a film. The
film is about two criminals who sneaked into the United Nations headquarters in Geneva and tried to steal important documents. They were discovered by the police. During the escape, two The criminal escaped into the laboratory. The police who followed shot and accidentally smashed the chemical. One person died on the spot, and the other was infected with the virus and escaped on a train. The chemical quickly spread the virus. The senior U.S. military In order to prevent the spread of the virus, it was decided to drive the train to the Cassandra Bridge, which is already dilapidated and may collapse at any time...The
film is based on the conversation between the senior commander of the US military and the female doctor and the situation of the passengers on the train. It is vivid and vivid. It outlines the characteristics of each person.
First, let’s talk about the old Jewish man. At the beginning, he appeared as a very cheerful, helpful and lovely old man. His caring and humorous conversation and demeanor made him feel that he was a very popular person. It is always happy to be with a respected old man, but when he knew that the train was going to the Cassandra Bridge, the pain of the past buried behind his smile flooded into his heart like a tide, making him escape The car's actions were unsuccessful. Thinking back to the painful years in the concentration camp, the death of his wife and children made him so scared and terrified of the Cassandra Bridge, and in the end he set himself on fire. This is a tragedy! It also impressed me the most. The
other two impressive figures are the male doctor and the female writer. They are an old couple who have been divorced twice. In fact, each still loves each other, but they are always strong and arrogant. The two had conflicts, but when they first learned that they were infected with the virus on the train, when facing the disaster, the two arrogant hearts gradually melted and blended together. I believe they will have a deeper love after experiencing this disaster. I won't get married for the third time!
There is also a mountaineer. When the secret that he is a drug dealer was discovered, he tried to threaten others to get out of the car, but when the male doctor faced him and the gun in his hand and let him shoot, the human nature still shined. , He put down the gun. In the end, he gave his life to prevent the train from going to the bridge. When he was shot and killed by the police, I believe everyone would not say that he was a bad guy or a criminal, but would think that he was a real hero.
The film uses a consistent technique-contrast. When the train drove into the picturesque outskirts of Switzerland, the beautiful girl sang a beautiful song, and the lovely little girl looked at the pleasant scenery outside the window. Everything was so beautiful. But with the development of the story, ugliness and contradictions slowly emerged, but when they faced the Cassandra bridge together and faced the fear of disaster and death, the ugliness disappeared, and instead they were twisted tightly into one. Rope, fight against death, and resist the evil government.
Finally, the first few cars drove into the bridge, and then the bridge collapsed. There were countless bodies and luggage floating on the river, which deeply touched my heart. This is a tragedy caused by the evil government! When everything is over, the commander walks out of the studio, his long back is full of helplessness and pain, in fact, all the spearhead pointed at him is just a tool...
