At the end of the chaotic war, at the most self-denying moment, I revisited this Simon Pegg's "The End of the World". As the final chapter of the "Blood and Ice Cream" trilogy, its concept and theme continue the two previous works "Zombie Shaun" and "Blood Detective", fully considering the game and compromise between people and the social environment, and people are self-recognition The struggle and struggle with social identity. In this series, the protagonists are often repressed, solitary, marginalized, out of touch with society and their surroundings. Sean in "Shaun of Zombies" was in a daze, and even walking on the road, he didn't realize that the surroundings had changed a lot, and there were zombies everywhere. The angel police officer in "Blood Detective" discovered that the entire town had already had its own system and was an enemy of it after constantly hitting a wall. As the final chapter, "The End of the World" has a bigger brain hole and a more intense and bold story. The male protagonist Gary King, the king of his student days, is known as the eternal leader and has four hardcore companions. However, after the glorious student days ended with a "booze marathon" that did not achieve the ultimate goal, Gary King seemed to live in that time forever. He was still wearing his school-age trench coat, driving his school-age car, and had no job. , doing nothing, resisting society, and being socially excluded. His four companions have quickly completed the transformation from students to social people, getting married and having children, working and living, and of course there are various troubles that come at any time. Gary Kim, who could not find his place in life and was about to collapse, found his four former companions, hoping to return to the small town where he was a student and complete the "booze marathon" that he failed to complete that year. However, when they returned to the town, they found that the town was very different from the past. In fact, most of the people in the town had already been transformed by aliens. The aliens hoped to help human beings build an orderly, polite and harmonious society. People are indifferent to the world, abide by order, and repeat their work and life mechanically every day. After some struggles, Gary King persuaded the aliens to repel the aliens, but it also caused the destruction of the earth's civilization. The four companions went back to restore their lives, and Gary King began an adventure in the barren land. This is a movie that no longer needs metaphorical themes. It uses the most exaggerated methods and the most absurd stories to highlight the opposition between people and the social environment, and to highlight people's discomfort, struggle and compromise in order. Living out of oneself may not be tolerated in society. If you go your own way, you will inevitably be crushed by the social value system, and in the end, even your self-identity will be shattered. So every time I have to deny myself and see the hesitation and emotion of the friends around me, I will think of this series of stories. But what to do, quoting a beautiful classmate in the circle of friends today: But you still have to move forward, this is life. Knowing that you can't change, you can only move forward bravely
