Beijing Olympic Organizing Committee trains volunteers in almost every detail, including etiquette, language, news, catering, hygiene, fire protection, transportation, landscape, knowledge and skills in various fields, so that even the details such as how to wash hands is the most hygienic. A teach. After all, the Olympic Games may be the largest event ever held in China that attracts the world's attention. After experiencing all kinds of noise and waves, the Olympic Games can no longer withstand repeated tossing, so it is not unexpected to find out how the volunteers deal with and Responding to emergencies and terrorist attacks has become an important compulsory course. The lecturer specially chose the title of this movie as the opening remarks, reminding everyone that emergencies during the Olympic Games may be right at your door as the title of the movie says.
In the movie, several dirty bombs exploded in Los Angeles, USA, and the city was in panic and chaos. Through the eyes of a couple, the film describes the twists and turns of the days following the attack. The wife was away from home for work at the time of the explosion, and finally arrived at the residence after various twists and turns, but was painfully and reluctantly turned away by her husband who stayed at home, because the dirty bomb had not been fully tested, and it was unclear whether it had Strong contagious and lethal force, so the broadcast kept asking people indoors not to come into contact with potentially infected people. The couple, who love each other deeply, had to meet and communicate with the isolation plastic through the long-sealed window in the house, and waited anxiously and apprehensively for rescue, even though they had doubts and contradictions about the so-called government rescue.
As a low-cost production, the entire film has almost no exciting scenes and hot scenes that are typical of disaster films. Some plots seem to be a little illogical and cannot stand scrutiny, and the actors' performances are not very convincing and infectious. force, and most of the time it even feels slightly lengthy and dull. The highlight of the film, however, is its surprising ending. The wife, who was originally regarded as an infected person, was successfully rescued by the medical team and survived; while the house where the husband had been staying, due to a previous negligence, led to the influx of the virus and a large number of breeding in the sealed room, which was fatal. degree. The army quarantined the husband in the house and pumped a chemical inside to kill him. This inversion at the last moment makes the ending of the film full of meaning. The husband and wife, who are standing on both sides of life and death, eventually went to the end of the fate that is completely opposite to what they expected.
This irony also seems to be universal. Many times, we will simply conclude some things, but at the last moment, we suddenly realize that we are completely wrong. In fact, no page of history is written in rose color, and no event is as beneficial as we imagine it to be.
Seven years ago, when the news that the Olympics would be in Beijing spread all over the world, all the Chinese were so ecstatic. At that time, we were happy with the arrival of the grand event, but few people really considered whether China was ready to accept the baptism and test of the Olympic Games, and objectively analyzed what the Olympic Games would bring to Beijing and China. Looking at the numbers on the countdown getting smaller and smaller, we were surprised to find that the Olympic Games are not as simple as we imagined: everything around us is making way for the Olympic Games, and the Olympic Games have made each of us suffer big or small. Impact. Cars are not allowed to be driven every day, it is time to go to work, security checks have to be passed several times a day, and it is even more difficult for non-local people to stay in the capital to rent a house... However, these are all trivial matters. Warm and hospitable, the common people are still willing to support the Olympic Games for more than half a month for more than ten days. What is really scary is the threat and uncertainty brought to Beijing by the Olympics: before the Olympics, foreign media reported significantly more negative reports on China, the possibility of terrorist attacks during the Olympics has increased unprecedentedly, and whether housing prices have plummeted after the Olympics has the economy dropped even more? It's a big unknown... These questions in the minds of many people turned out to be things that we were so excited about seven years ago that we never imagined.
The public is often in a disadvantaged position to obtain information, and a group consensus on a certain event often needs to go through a long-term process. In many cases, the media in the position of dissemination has biased reports, which will exacerbate the inequality of this transmission position, and ultimately lead to the weakening and loss of the people's right to know about many events. Looking back at the initial Olympic bid, Beijing had an astonishing 94% national approval rate. Perhaps it is because we do have a passion and dream for the Olympics that is far superior to other countries, or because most of us still don’t know what the Olympics will be. In terms of cities and countries, it is not a matter of profit and no harm. When media opinions reach an unbreakable consensus, the voices of opponents and dissidents are unfortunately often overwhelmed by the unanimous spit of the public, and the information left to the public is often biased and incomplete. Perhaps this is the most harmonious and safe approach in the short term, but after all, time will move forward, and the essence of things will eventually be revealed gradually and completely, so we are used to accepting all kinds of barrages in a hurry at the last minute. It's a shocking surprise, even knowing it's irresponsible and long-lasting.
It is completely impossible to hold a global event without paying a little price. Even those things that are hyped up a thousand times will be unsatisfactory in the end. What we need is to obtain relatively complete and objective information beforehand, rather than to clean up the mess after the fact. In the film, we woke up at the last minute to what the real Right at Your Door was; in reality, we were forced into an unfamiliar road in a trance before we even had any preparations.
