Of course, for all doomsday movies, these similar cruel scenes have a certain proportion of description, but only this movie really touched me, not because of its cruelty, but because of its hope and persistence.
In the film, the father and his wife gave birth to a son when the end was about to come. The despair and fear of the future finally overwhelmed the mother. She chose to leave the father and son and end it on her own. Here's what the recollections of the first half of the film contain. In the face of endless despair, the child's father and mother chose to persevere and give up respectively, the same is life and death. These two choices also affect their children all the time. In the face of starvation and suffering, the child missed his mother more than once, not only because of the memory, but also because it was so easy to give up in this environment, even death became a luxury.
But when death has become an extravagant hope, what can support a person to live. As a father, his reason is the son. For the sake of his son, he tried his best to survive, so in the film he instinctively showed his ruthlessness and ruthlessness towards the same wandering weak, maybe he also understood that even so, any hope of survival in the face of such a doomsday is slim. , but if a man has no hope, he has no reason to persevere, but the father found his reason and hope, son. And what should I do to give my son hope?
In the film, the father took his son and insisted on going south. He told his son, keep going south, don't stop, no matter what happens on the way. Until he finally died, he still wanted his son to live, although there was no reason, although he also understood that if he went on, he might only find despair, and he might experience endless pain if he lived. But even so, the father gave his son little hope with his lies.
There must be hope in life. The film cuts back to the beautiful scenes of the past more than once. The last time the film cuts back to when his father was seriously ill and died soon. In a dream, he looked at his beautiful wife, when the sky was still blue. Color, the sun is still golden, everything is beautiful and unrealistic, he said,
"If I were God, maybe I would create the world like this, because only in this way, I will know that I have you in the end."
Here is the video The first meaning of , until the end of life, my father still misses the past years with hope, even if it is just a dream.
The second meaning of the film is the belief in the good side of human nature.
"There must be good people, but don't take any chances." On his
deathbed, he handed the last revolver with only one bullet to his son.
I remember at the beginning, my father also took out a pistol. At that time, there were still two bullets. He said to his son:
"One is yours, the other is mine."
At this time, as if death was no longer something to fear, And just give up hope. But the ray of hope never faded from his heart, as did his father's belief in human nature. He said to his son more than once:
"NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENED WE STILL CARRYING THE FIRE. DON T WE."
This flame is the last light of human nature.
"We're good people and we won't hurt anyone. Because we still have the fire in our hearts."
Even when he saw the hell-like scene of people eating people, he still said this to his son. Here, it may be difficult for good people to survive, and losing humanity seems to be the only means of survival, but those who still hold on to hope believe that without humanity, there is no meaning to life. This is the second layer of meaning contained in the film.
After unimaginable suffering and many obstacles, kind people finally met. At the end of the film, at the seaside, the son who lost his father found his home, a family of equally poor but kind people.
"Do you eat people?" the son asked timidly to the stranger in front of him.
"No, we don't eat it."
"Then do you have flames?"
"What?" The
son pointed a gun at his heart.
"Yes, we take it," said the stranger.
He put down the gun, followed the stranger and met his family, a mother, a boy, a girl and a dog.
"We've been following you until here, can you trust me now?" the stranger's wife said, leaning over to her son.
This is the end of the film, because there is still hope in the heart, and kind people finally gather together, because they still have humanity, they know that no matter how dangerous their situation is, they must help those who have not lost their humanity.
