Too many topics. Human nature is good and evil, selfish, self-help and cooperation. The meaning and efficacy of religion. The tenacity of not giving up hope. The courage to let go in the face of adversity. There is even conflict between localism and openness, mixed love, a little discussion of education, and a critique of military studies.
As for the way of expression, it is also very eye-catching: Blizzard Villa + Unknown Cannibal. For the application of bloody scenes, the contrast between the calm beginning and the strange fog, the control of the overall rhythm - the tightness, and the sense of substitution for the protagonist have been verified in the protagonist's conjecture, and it is not like those two dishes B fought bravely The image turns the audience into the protagonist. The protagonist instantly becomes the leader. And the surprise of the ending, the protagonist who killed the successful escape saw the rescue, as well as the brave mother and her two children corresponding to the title.
But it still can't escape the accusation of idealized far-fetched and too much thematic confusion. So I think if we want to appreciate it, rather than criticize its irrationality, we can all get the part that blows our minds.
The film itself is built on unreal scenarios. That's why there is that kind of horror and immersive fantasy of a disaster movie.
I think it's the film's multiple themes that keep it from being a normal disaster movie. Movies always have one of the purposes of arousing our sense of identity or thinking. It is true that too many themes make it feel like nothing has been said in detail, but when you think about it, all the themes are actually very reasonable arrangements.
If there is no localism battle, the characters in the play will not immediately have a fierce conflict. If it weren't for the dim love of the officer and the loving care of the boy by the protagonist and the headmaster, where would the good things in desperation come from? No matter how dark a place is, there will be some beauty in it. As for the generation of religion in it, it is not only necessary for the development of the plot, but also a natural result. In the face of despair, either try wrongly, like that lawyer, or muster up the courage to unite and cooperate, or be crushed by despair and fall into madness. Therefore, under idealized scenarios, the various hypothetical countermeasures produced are very convincing.
Everyone thought about the theme of one of them, and I think that's what made the film so successful.
