"Safety" describes an inexplicable allergic disease in modern society. Carol, an upper-middle-class housewife living the easy life everyone dreams of, suddenly develops a syndrome that appears to be an allergy to chemicals. Since then, she has discovered that many people suffer from the disease, which she calls an "environmental disease allergic to the 21st world." However, from the point of view of the film, no definite conclusions have been made for the case, and the audience cannot determine whether the cause comes from the breakdown of immunity or from mental and psychological pathology. In addition, from the perspective of Carol's surface life, a wealthy material life, a stable marriage, a harmonious circle of friends, proper exercise and a reasonable diet, there is no external cause that may cause the sudden onset of the disease, and the film does not have anything about Carol's psychology. hint of the problem. So the film develops and ends with a lack of reason, and in the process we find that Carol is also not successful with self-knowledge, she always speaks the least in mutual aid groups, and her situation is not Not getting any better, it made her step by step toward a more isolated situation. The repeated "I love you" at the end of the film is not only Carol's self-consolation, but also her last way to save herself.
