It's not the end of the world

After seeing half of it, I realized that this is a religious film? ! Before I watched it, I thought it was a doomsday sci-fi drama, and then I thought it was a supernatural movie. In the end, it was actually a religious movie. However, in fact, the relationship between this film and religion only borrowed a few fragments of Christian classics as the skeleton of the film. I don’t think its intention is to promote religion. It's like a lot of Japanese animations sample the myths and legends of their nation as the foundation, but in fact the plot has nothing to do with those myths and legends.
What really moved me was the delicate relationship between father and son, mother and son in this work. Especially the father and son, which is different from the harmonious relationship between father and son in most American movies I have seen, the protagonist and his son have an inexplicable sense of disharmony from the first time they see it, and the protagonist is in The neurotic sense of responsibility shown after the loss of his beloved wife, the fear of losing again, and the desire to control any situation. And the heroine's emotional sustenance for her daughter after she lost her mother's love in childhood is even more touching, especially the cries at the end of the film when she drives to chase the car that took her daughter away. These are the things that left a deep impression on me in this film. . When the apocalypse is approaching, no matter who is weak and incompetent, being able to die with one's own family may be the best choice.

    New Noah's Ark? I feel that even Noah's Ark is unreasonable, and starting over may not be better than it is now.
