"Doomsday"

A future prophecy is at the same time an allegory of the present.

Apocalyptic themes are really endless, and this film hopes to find another way, at least on the surface. The state of life, the law of the jungle, the darkness and innocence of human nature, the protection of the family, etc., are all manifested. The old man played is more like a prophet, and he basically answered the questions of all moviegoers.

The film does not have more brushstrokes on the reasons for the formation of the apocalypse, focusing on embodying the state of human beings, while the enemy is set up as a human being who is also for survival, trying to express more philosophical categories. However, it still seems to be biased towards the story as a whole, and it seems familiar, and there is not much room for real thinking.

  • Old Man: Yeah, some people thought it was a con. I always believed in it.

    The Man: Did you try to get ready for it?

    Old Man: What would you do? Even if you knew what to do, you wouldn't know what to do.
