The background of the story is very "novel", humans suddenly lost their fertility, no child was born in 18 years, and even the death of the youngest life on earth would cause a wave of global grief. The film conforms to the main characteristics of "dystopian" works. The regime is still authoritarian. Although there is no such naked dictatorship, it does the same to put immigrants in cages, spread lies through various channels, and create tension to get rid of Regime crisis and so on, as Jasper said in the film, "Anytime our politicians are in trouble, there will be a bomb explosion." At the same time, the background of the film also has apocalyptic feelings. The world is showing a chaos against the background of the imminent extinction of mankind. Various groups propagating theories of the apocalypse are clamoring people’s emotions, and the conflict between the government and the lower-class people makes society turbulent. In short, a scene of a group of demons dancing wildly. At the same time, this film once again proves that people may be united in a difficult situation, and there may be epic deeds. However, it is more likely that under such circumstances, he still has a ghost, still wants to take the opportunity to make a profit, and is still intriguing. Therefore, theo and julian are spared their lives in order to protect the hope of mankind, but politicians are still fighting, immigrants and the army make the city a battlefield, and characters like luke even use the name of revolution to take advantage of their lives.
The film is very successful in creating an atmosphere. When theo goes home with Jasper, we can hear Pink Floyd's "goodbye blue sky". This song is from the classic album "The Wall", which was originally a fan. An album with apocalyptic atmosphere in the fantasy. The sky in the last days is not blue. In this film, we have always been in a black atmosphere. Theo and Kee, the first pregnant woman in 18 years, fled for their lives. Along the way, they saw dilapidated houses, desolate refugees, and nothing. Ending violence. Ironically, in many shots in the film, animals appear in the crowd, and the ruined buildings create a kind of imminent extinction of human beings, and the world will return to the original state of wild animals in frosty competition. On the way theo and kee escaped, the atmosphere was also tense. The director kept this process at a fast pace, and did not even give the people in the play too much time to calm down and talk, but step by step to the climax. When theo and Julian met, the atmosphere eased a little. I thought the story would end with the two of them escaping and ascending to heaven as usual, but the story soon made Julian die; then the human savior kee was introduced, but the atmosphere did not ease. How long does it take to launch the fierce luke again; then when theo takes kee and follows Jasper’s instructions to find Syd (reminds me of Pink Floyd), and even has given birth to a child, he immediately presents the climax of the film, That cool long shot. It can be said that the shooting of this gun battle in the refugee area is very shocking. In the fast-paced camera movement, the battle scene is extremely real and tragic, and even the camera is stained with blood. If this happens at other times, I am sure Will immediately think that this is a bug in the film. However, in such a tense atmosphere, the blood stains on the screen are like a reporter going deep into the first scene, and the non-stop running allows you to witness the most real things, and you can only be shocked without moving your eyes.
One detail worth noting in this film is that before the child was born, theo once asked Kee what kind of name he was going to give the child, and she replied, "fooley" (stupid). However, when the child was born, she decided to change her name because she gave birth to a girl and "fooley" was a man's name. In this film, rather than saying that "stupid" is a man's name, it is better to say that most men are stupid. It is men who push the world into darkness step by step. Throughout this film, you can find that almost all women are positive images, from Julian who died for the future of mankind to the nurse who takes care of kee, and the kind and non-stop thinking of theo and kee in the refugee area. The nagging landlady. And through the cover of a magazine, we also know that Jasper's vegetative wife is also a righteous person. Not to mention that the hope of mankind is maintained on a pregnant woman, and she gave birth to a baby girl. The hope of mankind is also pinned on the youngest "woman" in the world in eighteen years. When Kee walked from the building with her baby Next time, we found that just as the Virgin Mary descended into the world, the two parties who exchanged the fire ceased fire, and even devout people were drawing the cross. And the man? Even the positive theo was only aroused courage after the tragic death of his former lover. Jasper also had a wife behind him. Others, such as luke, were murderous. Syd was willing to betray his friends for small profits. He was also a group in the final battle. The man beat the sky dimly. The irony is that when the people on the battlefield were shaken by the newborn baby, there was an explosion and remembered that everyone immediately returned to their original condition and continued to fight in the dark. Women create life and men destroy life. Therefore, we often see that many charity projects use hard-working women as a breakthrough point, and relief materials are often directly distributed to wives. When I watched this film, I remembered an incisive line in "The Immortal Gardener", "Adam was the first draft of God, and he improved a lot when he created Eve." From the perspective of this film, this sentence really makes sense. When the baby girl was born, it made me sigh that it was a woman who saved the world!
The ending is still a hopeful one. Theo used his life to protect kee and baby girls and waited for the "Tomorrow", or waited for the "Noah's Ark". Theo's performance can be regarded as saving some "face" for the men with a large number of pussies in the film, but the film is still not a reunion. After all, the life is too weak. After all, behind Kee is still a world where people are fighting. Director Alfonso Cuarón presents us a rare good-looking and thought-provoking film. The film uses an unconventional pregnant woman and baby girl as the "savior" image, mocking the cold violence and showing the glory of human nature. , Although it seemed impossible to disperse the darkness till the end, at least it left hope for tomorrow.
