Such an apocalyptic world, such a sky, I told my wife, it was because the volcanic eruption caused volcanic ash to spread on a large scale, covering the sky, and finally no light was seen, so the vegetation died and the animals died. The wife asked in surprise, how do you know?
Alas, who called us scientists?
Doomsday has seen many kinds, such as "I Am Legend", "Book of Elie", and what kind of science fiction, virus, and so on. Of course, there seems to be a generality, that It is eating people. Cannibalism is the end of the world, so I came up with such a logic and thought it was true. I am afraid that the most fearful thing in people's heart is to face a person who wants to eat you, or to face a choice of cannibalism. Whether it is cannibalism or being eaten by others, it is a very fucking thing for human beings. .
The film - Doomsday is about a conclusion after my scientific analysis, which is the most likely top three choices in the legendary 2012 Doomsday. The volcanic eruption is estimated to be the eruption of some submarine volcano in the Pacific Ocean. It is said that that If the volcano is about to explode, there is no cure. It is estimated that it is tens of thousands of times stronger than Iceland. The entire earth's atmosphere will be replaced by volcanic ash, which will not disperse for decades (the above values are purely estimates), and the result is like a doomsday. It seems that food has become the most important thing for surviving human beings. Animals and plants are all dead, and you can't even chew on the bark. The Guanyin soil was buried by volcanic ash, and it is estimated that you can't eat it if you dig it out.
In the film, the hero's wife finally could not stand the torture, left the hero and the child, and died alone. I am very confused about this. I don't understand. And it's a bit contrary to motherhood, how can a mother be willing to have a child?
So after the mother died, following the mother's will, the father took the child to the south, singing "South" all the way, maybe there is warmth in the south, maybe there is food in the south, who knows, an unknown and dangerous journey, in a place where there is no one world, rummaging through the pockets of the dead.
The tone of the whole picture is cool gray, whether it is the color of the sky, the earth or the clothes, I like that tone very much, it is very light, and the characters' language is relatively small, of course, it is related to the serious lack of food.
In a wooden villa, there was a piano covered with volcanic ash. The father touched the piano and remembered the dead pianist wife. He was in pain and the teacher hit the piano's legs. The child came over, the father looked calm, pressed the keys, and then , press again, 4 low but not dull piano sounds, "Your mother used to be very good at playing." With just one sentence, the camera is pushed into the distance, outside the window, the sky is gloomy, it seems that something flying is still my illusion, It doesn't matter anymore, it's just that the hand pressing the piano, the voice of despair, is so difficult to deal with.
This is the most desperate doomsday, more desperate than any doomsday I have ever seen, but it is also the most gentle doomsday, restrained, quiet, silent, the doomsday is the doomsday, needless to say, avoid the cannibals, avoid the cannibals All the "bad guys", the rest of the problem is to survive, in addition to living, we can occasionally use the memories of the past to warm our hearts, of course, only for a short moment.
In such a doomsday, there is actually no time to see the scenery, and there is not much time to make ourselves interesting. We just wait silently, move forward quietly, and set a goal for ourselves, even if we can’t achieve it.
They reached the sea, the sea was not blue, it was already blackened by volcanic ash, the father was injured, died of tetanus, held the child, died in a sleepy night, the child woke up to find that the father was stiff, here I do I was injured a bit, I thought my father would not die, but the director cruelly put this child in a desperate situation, maybe it's time for him to face it himself? The kind family that appears at the end seems unnecessary, it is the director's twisted kindness, and a boy should be made to be his own man. Instead of showing an inexplicable family for the sake of righteousness, the continuation of human hope, etc., it is really out of balance with the overall sad tone.
Digression: cannibals and people who are eaten, when the real end of the world comes, when food becomes the most fundamental and urgent need of human beings, this seems to be the biggest and most vulnerable challenge facing human nature, it seems that all film and television philosophies Faced with this theme, they do not hesitate to draw a category of people who choose to actively eat people to live, and even hunt "people". Prove that all intellectuals believe in the universality of evil in this world.
Teacher Yuan Tengfei once said that in the difficult period of several years, the phenomenon of cannibalism in our motherland has blossomed everywhere, eating enemies, eating strangers, and eating relatives in exchange for eating relatives. That is to say, the difficult times of those years were no different from the end of the world for the people who blossomed on the land of the motherland.
Alas, I've watched a few doomsday movies in the past few days, and I'm a little tired of aesthetics.
Having said that, Doomsday is still pretty good. Aside from my messy thoughts, just the rhythm, the delicate plot, and the flow of the inner drama are still very popular, and the little male protagonist is also very good-looking. It's the kindness that makes me want to leave him alone on the road. The director finally arranged for his father to die. It must be the same mentality, but he is too embarrassed to be so cruel. The kindness of the mind is the same, director, you are infected!
