Seeing the Light of Humanity in Disaster

Originating in Asia, highly contagious, bats are one of the sources of viruses, using gymnasiums as temporary hospitals, closing cities and fleeing, rumors that forsythia can cure diseases are all over the world... When I saw this filmed in 2011 In the movie, the barrage that floats the most is "God's Prophecy". Screenwriter Scott Z. Burns's research on pathology and consultation with infectious disease experts before writing the script makes the film deeply scientific and realistic. Among them, the light of humanity in the medical workers endows it with the power to move people's hearts.

Dr. Erin Mills was sent to track down the first death in the United States. When she found out that she was unfortunately infected and dying, Mills choked and quickly wrote something in the notebook. I thought she was writing a suicide note. However, she is remembering and documenting everyone she may have come into contact with, doing her best to stop the spread of the disease. When she was dying, she heard a patient with chills keep shouting cold next to her, and slowly wanted to hand over the coat she was wearing, but her hand fell beside her...

When I saw the scenes of the doctors in the film who risked their lives and gave up their lives, I thought of the medical staff who are fighting against the epidemic all over the country in reality. Tears shed in my eyes, but hope sprouted in my heart. I believe that with these great angels in white, the raging demons will one day be wiped out and suppressed. What we can do is to cooperate with the government as much as possible, do not believe or spread rumors, and try our best to support the angels in white, so that the bad operations such as spreading rumors, interfering and even kidnapping researchers in the movie are less "God's prophecy", and let the devil be punished. The day of repression will come sooner rather than later.

Contagion quotes

  • Dr. Ellis Cheever: You know where this comes from, shaking hands? It was a way of showing a stranger you weren't carrying a weapon in the old days. You offered your empty right hand to show that you meant no harm.

  • Dr. Ellis Cheever: But right now, our best defense has been social distancing. No hand-shaking, staying home when you're sick washing your hands frequently.
