When this movie was recommended by the doctor's younger brother today, my first reaction was: I don't watch it, will it be too sad, I'm afraid I'll be sad after watching it~
It's the doctor's little brother who is patient. He said: Don't be afraid, just watch a popular science movie, you will know what to pay attention to, and then the expected situation may occur.
Really, this story is very similar to the current situation?
But the virus in the movie will be deadly in a few days, and the encephalitis will end, and our pneumonia virus can spend 14 days dormant (smart and treacherous), but at least it can be cured.
Patient No. 1, Beth, an executive of AIMM (Alderson), went to Hong Kong to attend the opening ceremony of the new factory and brought back the infectious disease. At the same time, the virus spread rapidly around the world~ She and her son died, and her husband I have a natural immunity and survived~
She also infected an employee of her own Japanese branch, a girl in London, and a casino waiter in Hong Kong (killed by a car).
People from the CDC went to the starting point of the minisoda investigation to find the cause, at the expense of the clear popular science in the story line of the minnesoda department of health, the cause, the route of transmission, the base, the infection vector, what to do at the first moment and other concepts that need to be understood. (It seems that people in mdh don't have much knowledge about infectious diseases, much like the idiots in our local institutions).
Interestingly, SARS in 2003, 2011 in the movie "manufacturing background", or today 2020, we have not found the real source of the disease, and the real transmission route and vaccine have not found the correct answer~
There are several story lines, you need to be careful and clear about the story lines when reading, otherwise it will be easy to get confused~
A female investigator from the world health organization was in Hong Kong, looking for clues about the first patient, as well as possible ways and directions of infection, and was finally kidnapped by people from a small local village, who were worried that they would not be able to get the first batch of patients The "vaccine" was only deceived in the end. They thought that there would be a "priority chain of contempt" for vaccines, and they thought they could get the vaccine first, but they were deceived in the end~ The female investigator finally ran to the "village", which was a choice after "guilt"~
There is a comment in the first scene of the WHO just appeared: We got the news that the epidemic came from Beijing, and it was brought under control in the Hong Kong chrysanthemum community~ (what? Why is it that Beijing took the blame for a while in the rumor;)
The CDC female investigator went to the city where the female patient was located to investigate the cause of death, the scope of possible infection and conduct "crisis control", and finally contracted it herself, because the isolation cabin plane needed to be given to "senior leaders" and could not transfer her out. Just "sacrifice" in that city~
Another story line is the story line for the direction of the "virus" development and finding a cure, the agencies involved in the process (CDC, CDC, NSA, CIA, Food Administration), conflicts of interest, each individual's " Bottom line" and some eccentricities, various conspiracy rounds, ways and methods for profit-making organizations to "profit" through this event~
Chicago was sealed because the disease was out of control, and the corpses needed to be burned on the spot, grabbing medicine, grabbing food, garbage bags everywhere (no one took it), all kinds of riots, how many people really died, god knows~
The American nurses went on strike when they demanded a clear standard, and the condition became more serious. (What? My medical staff is tired, and no one has gone on strike yet. How much love and sacrifice are the medical staff in our country?) ", a group of people who rely on faith to save people.
The uncle of the CDC said: We let healthy people take care of people who are infected with the virus, and we also expect to ask healthy people to save people without being infected. This is unreasonable~ (It does make sense)
The CDC uncle was announced because he informed his lover to leave early. Finally, the NSA said: The public is angry and needs a scapegoat, and you made it easy (sad dark politics). Uncle CDC is a man of flesh and blood, and it's quite real.
In the story line of the female patient No. 1, her husband encountered the death of his wife and the death of his wife's son. Later, he found out that his wife had cheated on him. He dealt with all these emotions, and kept his daughter rationally protected until the end. In the end, he did not let go of crying. Come out~ (It's all too fast, I think this man's strength and reason, the ability to deal with crisis calmly, can also make a two-hour movie ;)
When everyone hears that a certain drug is useful (the blogger of san fransisco spreads rumors that Yinqiao can prevent it), how do ignorant leeks go to rob drugstores, rob food, or even rob other people's homes~nothing spreads like fear
At first, I thought that the freelance journalist was someone with a sense of justice, but I was disappointed in the end~ He conspired with investors to earn the "IQ tax" of ignorant humans (4.5 million, sad).
The release of Forsythia to cure the virus is a bit like the current Shuanghuanglian oral liquid?
When human beings are afraid, they are easily brainwashed and deceived~
Conversation before his final arrest: One person dies, another makes a fortune selling coffins, one country eliminates chicken, and the demand for red meat soars. I’m not the first person to make money from a flawed immune system. Qian ~ ~ ~ blabla said a lot, anyway, it probably means that the government also cooperates with pharmaceutical companies, vaccines are useful now, and there are sequelae in the end, all kinds of people will die, no one cares. (I am most afraid of such quibbles: anyway, you think that everyone is eating shit, so it is reasonable for you to eat shit, what logic?)
A public figure who took advantage of everyone's trust, sold his conscience, made money, and took it for granted (so sad, who does the public believe at a critical moment?) Arrested: Securities fraud, conspiracy and murder.
Is there such a charge in China for making rumors and indirect murder in critical moments? I really want to know~
CDC's vaccine development process: First cultivate the virus, then research and raise the vaccine: vaccine No. 33, vaccine No. 57, various experiments with dead viruses, experiments with live viruses (a lot of monkeys died), and at the same time, the virus began to mutate, the base number became high, and finally the vaccine was developed. Come out, the little sister who is engaged in research uses her to see her father, and is also a father who contributes himself to the medical cause (this story line could have been made into a movie and brought a lot of tears, but not in this movie;)
MEN1 seedlings began to be secretly produced, and then who would get the privilege first~ It is also an "ironic" point of the human nature of the postgraduate entrance examination~ The United States draws and releases vaccines in sequence~
Anyone who makes movies in the United States dares to satirize them, and it also dares to hack all kinds of ZF agencies.
The last few seconds are a core idea: greedy and stupid human beings always think that they are the "God" of the whole world, and finally their greed hurts themselves. The company of the female patient is driving a big car to cut down the forest in the middle of the night. Yes, the bat was frightened and flew away and ate a banana, threw it in the pigsty, and then the suckling pig was taken to a high-end restaurant. The chef touched the pig's mouth without gloves, and went out to meet the guests and shake hands for a group photo without washing his hands; a bat caused This is how the "global catastrophe" happened~
In the words of CDC researchers: somewhere in the world, wrong pig meet the wrong bat. In fact, human beings have harmed themselves...
This movie has a low score, probably because each story line can be made into a movie by itself, which can describe the characters and emotional lines more deeply, but the screenwriter and director decided to use the shortest time to shoot a more comprehensive story~ So there is no "moving" and immersion”
And people like me in Beijing, after a week of isolation and disease dynamics, this movie is more like a documentary filmed with big-name stars in 2011, "foreseeing" this year's coronavirus~
In other words, it may happen in any country in the future. This is a good popular science movie. How do natural and man-made disasters happen, how the world is connected, and how human nature is tested.
I think it can be released as a public welfare film to students and communities around the world, so that everyone can raise awareness and avoid another disaster, or how to control the situation in a more rational and rational way and reduce casualties.
But after all, greedy, selfish and ignorant people will not disappear. We can only try our best to reduce ignorance and strive for more healthy and reasonable social operation models with rational and intelligent people.
After sighing, I will give 10 points decisively~
