The film is full of suffocating atmosphere and contradictions: whether to abandon more than a thousand innocent lives or to let the virus spread everywhere; whether to obey the orders of superiors or to see if oneself is ruined, this series of objective contradictions and psychological contradictions makes people panic. Striving for a moment of sobriety and rationality, the depth of the plot directly captures the audience’s most vulnerable nerves. It displays morbid onset and death very realistically, showing the ignorant struggle between people in the face of disasters,—— The virus hasn't killed people yet, but people have killed each other! Layers of deception have created a car of innocent people, and the destruction of human self is indeed sadder than anything else.
In the reality of helplessness, they all accepted the tragic and extremely inhumane result—too many souls floated under the bridge, but they all didn't say who was right and who was wrong.
In 2003, after we experienced a thrilling SARS, this amazing similarity made people a little bit dumbfounded.
