A disaster comes and goes in such a hurry.

Due to the recent outbreak of the epidemic, various movie recommendations on Weibo are mainly disaster films. This movie is also one of them. I also read the recommendations before watching the original version.

As a movie in 2008, it has been more than 10 years recently. From the picture, you can see a strong sense of the times. The painting picture is not like the current movie. It is so clear that every pore cannot be seen. In terms of details, you can see the spots on the face. It feels relatively real. There are no gorgeous special effects. In fact, this movie is relatively simple in terms of content. It is an inexplicable disaster that suddenly broke out in a big city. , this disaster came in a hurry, and there is not even a complete explanation for the rush, what exactly is he for? And what kind of thing he was, just a gust of wind came and some people committed suicide.

At the beginning of the movie, the three-minute cloud, the fluttering picture, and the five-minute dark cloud fluttering picture at the end I think have a certain recognition with the theme of the story, that is, human behavior has destroyed the ecology, and the blue sky and white clouds may have been No longer the original blue sky and white clouds. In fact, I don't think I can understand the story, but the characters in the story did not explain the whole story clearly, but need to be understood by the people watching.

When I watched Celebrity Detective a few days ago, there was a story that if bees disappeared in the world, humans could live for up to 4 years. There is also such a plot in this movie. Of course, I read the comments and said it was Einstein. Proposed. In fact, no matter what the relationship is, what he expresses is that human life and the environment are inseparable, because the frequent human activities lead to the deterioration of the environment, which is revenge by the environment. The sudden disaster in the movie is more like a cleaning activity of nature, because the gathering of human population leads to pollution. When the environment cannot bear it, he chooses to wipe out a part of human beings. Only when the ecology is balanced can order be achieved. developing. In fact, it seems that plants appeared on the earth earlier than humans. Plants are the aborigines on the earth. Naturally, they only protect themselves in their own way, just like humans limit the development of other animals and plants in order to protect their living environment. it's the same.

And the disaster in the story is actually coming and going quickly, and no one knows why he came, and no one knows why he spread it. It may have been the director's work when it ended in such a hurry. A design, but different from the disaster film of the net, with a clear origin of the event, a meteorite hitting the earth, a tsunami, and so on. Anyway, after watching the movie, I didn't understand how this gust of wind killed humans. Is it because of the gathering of human populations that triggered the destruction skills of plants or a selective outbreak. I feel that the final ending did not clarify the key point of the matter, and it just ended in a hurry. Then it started to erupt elsewhere.

I think this movie is average, not particularly attractive, and the story is indeed a little simpler.
