Reminds me of Pinhole Lodge

Apocalyptic thrillers, I really like this kind of middle-aged couple who work together to fight the thugs with their brains and muscles, and finally escape from danger. It really tests mutual trust when their lives are threatened every minute. This is suitable for couples to watch at home. Hold each other tightly, and then have a haircut.

When the male protagonist was fighting for her life, the female protagonist swayed with the music society. I watched this episode several times. She danced very deeply, her body swayed with the music, and she relaxed for a while. The happiness had made her forget that she was in troubled times.

The West believes that human nature is inherently evil. Once the end of the world is entered, the old order will collapse and the new order has not yet been established. The emergence of violent groups in this period is very logical and imagined. Without the rule of law, human beings, like animals, have become a necessary resource for immediate survival. It is inevitable that the strong will eat the weak. Human beings are social animals, and a bunch of robbery teams will inevitably join forces.

Everyone wants to live a peaceful life where they can eat, drink safely, chat with their loved ones, have sex, and do what they like. There will always be a strong man to restore order. This is also human nature.

Husbands and wives are birds of the same forest, and when disaster strikes, they fly separately. This sentence is too negative, too pessimistic, and friends are similar. I believe that couples in troubled times will have many models like the Pinhole Hotel and this film.

  • [first lines]

    Nina West: [narrating] You probably already know what happened. Then again, you might not. You might not even give a shit. But I'm gonna tell you anyway.

    [cuts to middle school children leaving school for recess]

    Nina West: We all went about our daily lives, oblivious to how bad things were in the world.

    [kids look up to see bomber planes spraying black liquids into the sky behind them]

    Nina West: And then they hit the reset button, erasing all of their problems along with hundreds of millions of lives. No one saw it coming. The end.

    [shocked kids faces distort as some start collapsing]

    Nina West: The lucky ones were dead in seconds. As for the rest of us, immune to the black poison, we had to decide. Hang on to the civility of the past, or become savages in a new dark future.

  • Theresa Wood: Happiness isn't out there, Nina. Not anymore. It's in front of you.
