after watching

The biggest impression is: too dark.

In the movie, the government is just like a decoration. There are no effective measures to deal with. After spraying the chemical agent, it is clear that it is a mistake of judgment and there is no virus.

The director seems to want to criticize the system, but he portrays the system as mentally retarded and then criticizes it. What is the difference between it and the obscenity in Jack Sue's novels. It is also forcibly reducing the IQ of the villain, and then punching and kicking it, as if sanctions were imposed from top to bottom. . It's a bit funny, like a child playing a house game, but not as cute as other children.

The staff members encountered by the elder brother refused to listen to him, refused to believe him, and even refused to help a little. Seeing these scenes seems to arouse the anger of the audience. The strange thing is that I don't feel anything after watching it. I just feel that the villains in the movie are muttering one by one, as if they can't understand human words and smell a little human. Compared with living people, it is more like a group of props performing.

What's so angry about props? I don't even have any serious thoughts, I just feel tired and see how the director can toss the family. In the end, I thought they were all dead, but I didn't expect that the chemical agent was not so toxic, and the three brothers and sisters were alive and well.

Of course, there are more than one monsters in the Han River. I look forward to Xue Ye's leap out, but I don't want to watch the sequel.

The scene where Bae Doona competes in archery on TV is beautiful, and this is the first time I think she is beautiful.
