Unlike Hollywood's doomsday themes, "Doomsday" has neither strange aliens, nor unstoppable cataclysms, and no senseless gods, archangels and invulnerable messengers of gods to push religious themes, stories It's just a simple father and son, walking alone with a supermarket trolley in the boundless wild fields. The sound of thunder, the sound of explosions, the desperate cry of the mutilated human beings in the distance... and the simple dialogue between the father and the son, and the father's longing for his lover. It's simple, relevant, and therefore engaging.
I don't know why fate abandoned mankind, I don't know why I chose the seaside as my destination, I don't know why father and son have survived until now with two bullets... I only see the father and son skillfully searching for food and shelter in various wreckage, and only the son. Under the protection of my father, there is still a precious childlike innocence. I only see that the father and son agreed to keep the flame that symbolized many things in their hearts on the night of the cold wind whistling... So when I saw the wedding ring symbolizing missing along the cracked viaduct Feeling a little bit of pain, I burst into tears when I saw my father apologizing to the child when he was dying, and there was no way to protect him anymore. After seeing his son being taken care of by a couple again, hope was rekindled.
Although the whole passage is suffocating depression and boundless despair, the flames in the mouth of the father and son and the eyes of the dog beside the couple at the end give the audience (at least me) some comfort. If there is no parents at the end, maybe the movie can give me a deep shock and give me a high five-star score without hesitation, but it can be seen that the director still wants to express his praise of hope to the audience.
Quoting a story I read recently: "As long as you have faith in your heart, there will always be miracles. Although hope is slim, it will last forever. There can be many things in life, but there is only hope. Where there is hope, life will be Live endlessly!"
