There was lightning and thunder outside the window, and a painter came into view. He was concentrating on completing a painting. It was the image of a hero, holding two guns in both hands... An inexplicable storm destroyed everything, followed by There is also a fog on the opposite sea. At first, everyone didn't take it seriously. The male protagonist drove to the supermarket in the town, and then came the military vehicle rushing by along the way, and all the phone calls. There is no signal, everything seems to imply something... Yes, a disaster is coming, silently, and the fog surrounds the whole town! People in the supermarket depended on each other, when a woman wanted to ask a man to send her home to take care of the young children, the supermarket was silent, everyone looked away, and finally the woman rushed out... Worse Even the people inside were divided into two factions. One faction believed that perseverance was victory, and as long as they found a way, there was always a chance to escape. Due to the deaths of people who dared to rush out of the supermarket, people's hearts gradually fell to the rear. Human nature is revealed at this time, it is a kind of animal nature, it is the animal nature of primitive humans, they drove the male lead and the other four out of the supermarket, and miraculously, five people grabbed the straw of life - a jeep, forever What I can't forget is the scene when the male protagonist turned on the headlights and the lights swept towards the supermarket. People in the supermarket followed the lights or the last light of hope. Standing in front of the glass, the hope of life was far away. They are so close and so far! How do people in supermarkets feel now? They must be regretful and helpless. However, fate is so changeable, the jeep ran out of fuel, and they never got out of this fog. The people in the car, including the male protagonist, gave up their final hope. He slowly took out the pistol and ended the lives of the other four with his own hands. However, fate played a big joke on him. He only had four bullets! Why not five! When he got out of the car and decided to fight the monster in the fog, he was faced with a beam of lights, the fog gradually dissipated, and the car was full of victims, it was the lady! The lady begging for a ride looked straight ahead and ended with a heart-rending roar from the male protagonist...
After watching this film, my heart is very dull and more silent. Two words popped out of my mind instantly. The first is human nature. When people encounter difficulties, people's nature will be revealed, the lady who asked for a ride did not get help, because people in the supermarket are reluctant to risk their lives and even their family's lives to help a person they don't know, often It is said that human nature is good, but in the end people's behavior shows everything. The end of the film is a great satire on the sorrow of human nature. The lady who asked for a ride was finally rescued after rushing out of the fog. She and her child survived, but the male protagonist finally shot his own child out of desperation. He must have been unable to shed tears at that time. The male protagonist stared closely at the surviving lady and his child in the rescue vehicle. He was remorseful. He could only beat his chest and knelt on his knees and shouted silently. Maybe it was the "retribution" that he did not promise the lady to help her at that time, so when human nature is endowed with a series of complex relationships, the inherent goodness of human nature may be invalid, and the evil of human nature will be exposed without reservation, so I think the first thing this film is trying to tell is to make people reflect on who they are and what they are. We always talk about forgetting the truth, but when we encounter difficulties, do we really sacrifice ourselves for justice like those glorious images in our books? The male protagonist obviously has courage and wisdom, but he lacks love. Of course, I am not referring to the love between him and his son, but between strangers and strangers. When we are in trouble together and a stranger makes a sincere plea to you, if you are a human being, you will help that stranger, otherwise you do not deserve luck and love. There is a proverb in English: Do well and have well. When others are in difficulty, if you give yourself a hand within your ability, you may give you feedback of priceless treasures, not only material but also spiritual wealth that can be cherished by others. Let’s talk about the people in the supermarket. Maybe you are as ignorant of them as I am after reading it. However, if you think about it, maybe you will become that commonplace there, and you will also follow others’ words. You are also the one standing in the glass door of the supermarket. Those who followed the light of hope, we should think more about ourselves, don't follow others' opinions, and keep our own principles, otherwise, tragedy will surely come to you.
The second is the impermanence of fate. Personally, I think the biggest highlight of this movie is its O'Henry-style ending. He broke the ending form of previous movies that were full of joy and reunion, and brought out the impermanence of fate on the side. If the male protagonist can press the trigger a little late, maybe the ending will be different. Perhaps, the male protagonist and the other four can hold a little more hope, the other four will not need to hand over their lives to God, and the male protagonist will not have regrets for the rest of their lives. However, everything happened like this, the temperature of the body in the car had not cooled yet, but at that time the male protagonist's heart seemed to have fallen into an abyss, and there was nowhere to cry. This is also like in our lives, there are always one or two things that we experience in our lives, as if we were caught in the throat by fate, or as if it was playing tricks on you, making you regret, and making you never reach the other side of victory. At this time, we often lament that the world is impermanent, but we should always deal with fate and fight hard. To believe that God helps those who help themselves. Although the final result may be like the end of the movie, we should always believe that hope is always there, even if it is very small. Never give up hope, even if fate teases you, learn to be strong, even if the road ahead is more thorny, the road ahead is more muddy, believe in yourself, Genius is nothing but labor and diligence. (Genius is just sweat and labor), The goddess of luck will always look after you.
Maybe that's the charm of the O'Henry-esque ending, unexpected and reasonable. Although the ending is not like "2012", human beings laugh and greet the first ray of sunshine after the disaster, but the sad ending left a deep impression on me, and the slightly sad ending is more thought-provoking
