Don't take the setting of "Misery Rain" too seriously. In this worldview, the whole world at a certain point suddenly had a storm, carrying a biological virus that could not be explained or thought to be explained—everyone who came into contact with this virus would suffocate and die. . All the water is polluted, and people can only go outside without protective clothing when the rain stops, even in the wet woods after the rain (like I said, serious and you lose).
But once you give up thinking about the various loopholes in the story of "Torrential Rain", it is actually not bad as an apocalyptic sci-fi film. Although Netflix's Danish original series sets the worst enemy as "weather", it seems novel enough, but when it comes to the core of the story, audiences are inevitably different from zombie movies like "The Walking Dead" or "Death". A dystopian post-apocalyptic film to compare. Unlike the latter, "Rain" has more elements of the most fashionable teenagers, from "Battle Royale" teenagers into "The Hunger Games" to "Groundhog Day" teenagers into "Happy Death Day," everyone loves the newer, lighter perspective the younger protagonist brings to this sci-fi series.
Episodes are always in a fast-paced atmosphere. In the sunny campus hall, the sunshine is like a youthful "Glee". Have I repeatedly confirmed that the download is a sci-fi thriller? However, the situation took a turn for the worse: the protagonist's father suddenly rushed into the school, dragging the whole family into the SUV. There is no extra explanation other than walking through the panicked crowd and repeating that it is about to rain. This, together with the ominous atmosphere brought by more and more dark clouds constantly appearing in the picture, is an atypical good for this drama. head.
When the father brought the family into the bunker, he said nonsense without looking back, put on protective clothing and returned to the outdoors, not only did he not dispel the doubts, but followed by more and more inexplicable mysteries: well-stocked The bunker like "Clover Street", the high-tech seems to have long-prepared disinfecting shower equipment. Seeing this, the audience must think to themselves: oh, it's another kind of apocalyptic sci-fi film, it just depends on how the protagonist dies.
Sure enough, the unbearable siblings returned to the ground to find their father but accidentally killed their mother. Fear makes them shy away from the outside world. With the "Mars Rescue"-like montage surrounding planting, the siblings, who have grown into adults six years later, are faced with nearly depleted food and bunker living conditions, and find it's time to return to land. Looking for hope in life, they are surprised by what appears in front of them...
The cast specifically mentions his sister August, who is like a combination of Jennifer Lawrence and Brie Larson. There are too many dystopian heroine elements in this character: from the initial confusion to the later sense of responsibility, the burden of the family The girl on the shoulder becomes the role played by boys in traditional stories, so the audience may not be able to dislike this girl.
Science fiction films with the theme of the end of the world will always choose some elements of survival that we can see and touch as the core of the problem, because it is too close to life and the audience has the fear of being closer to life. In this film, the world created by Jannik Tai Mosholt (Borgen), Esben Toft Jacobsen and Christian potalivos is full of loopholes, but after ignoring it, we simply discuss "rain" as the center of disaster, that is, it can be close to the "water" necessary for human survival, and Leave some space for the human safe zone. Making the tension public, and turning the inner brutality into a survival mechanism, just like the main creators talked about: they hope to use such a story to reveal the darkness of white-left idealism in Scandinavian society. I think audiences who like post-apocalyptic sci-fi movies, or teen movies with dark and exotic elements, will not want to miss such a series.
