We are all rats

I even felt like I was sweating after watching the video.

It wasn't the struggle to survive that made me sweat (to be honest, the process was kind of boring and inconsistent, like that old lady who was so eager to survive, but suddenly willing to give her life, which is a bit far-fetched anyway) but the last woman. The master escaped and walked down the place where he walked a few hours ago, the street is still the same street, the city is still the same city, the crowd is still rolling, and I am not that me anymore. Especially when the old acquaintances in my past world met with me now, there is an indescribable sadness and vicissitudes.

In fact, the storyline of the film itself can be said to be relatively old-fashioned. Several people win the hope of life in a confined space, but this does not prevent it from playing a role in exploring human nature. I don't want to spoil, but I have to say in advance that there are some scenes in the film that may be more nauseating, but they are few and do not affect normal consumption.

And there are a lot of unexplainable places in the film, you'd better not watch the film with strict logic.

I really like the transition of the director's first few shots, the way he introduces the characters is very interesting.

When the film ends, the heroine walks down the street in a state of despair and dirt. She escaped from death and walked back to the familiar street. The city is still prosperous, full of traffic, and the crowd is still flowing, but it no longer makes people feel warm, but has an indescribable coolness, especially when the heroine walks through the window. The hostess reported "at least three fatalities in the fire" with an "oh" tone. Everyone is well-dressed. Everyone is filthy. "We are all rats."
