Sci-fi, Nicole Kidman, Daniel, already have a reason to watch this movie.
But the sci-fi coat started to tear off soon after. A scene to explain the alien virus invasion, the end of science fiction.
So in the first half, we can only appreciate Nicole Kidman's graceful figure, beautiful face, and superb acting skills in the cliché plot of horror films. Not boring. The last drag racing chase and the escape from the building are quite touching, and a good climax ending. Yet this is an uncompromising political film. The constant reporting of the international situation in newspapers and TV news, coupled with the conversation between Nick and the Russians at the banquet, can hardly be regarded as a political metaphor, but a direct political theme. In addition to a large number of military war news, the background report also constantly mentioned news of sensitive countries such as Russia, North Korea, China, etc., especially the Gao Yaojie incident was directly named, which is really too strong. Add in the communist utopian symptoms after contracting the virus, and the political leaning is straightforward. However, this self-proclaimed ingenious political reference is exactly where the film is clumsy: trying to affirm or deny a certain system is itself a very stupid thing. The political concepts it expresses are also fragile and contradictory: before the virus was infected, the world was full of chaos, war, and oppression; after the virus invaded, human beings lost their individuality and became zombies, but the world was peaceful and full of malice towards socialism; victory over the virus Afterwards, human beings come back to life, but war and chaos reoccupy the world, using the freedom of human nature to justify war and hegemony? No matter how I do this, I feel unpleasant at both ends, and there is a sense of powerlessness in my thoughts.
