Bill Gates once talked about topics such as the end of the world in a speech. He believed that it is unlikely that the outbreak of a nuclear war would cause a catastrophic disaster for mankind, because the danger of nuclear war has long attracted enough attention from mankind, In the future, the weapons that may bring hundreds of thousands, millions or even tens of millions of lethal weapons to human beings are microorganisms, that is, virus attacks. Bill Gates talked about Ebola, and this speech was probably made shortly after the Ebola outbreak. Unfortunately, we are now witnessing once again a virus outbreak that has evolved into a global attack, Dvia-19, the new coronavirus. The days of being locked down and isolated are a bit doomsday, tragic and terrifying. The circle of friends pushed a movie: American movies are extremely panic. About the plot, the US military broke out in an overseas base, and the military disease control personnel who came to inspect it very simply and rudely threw a bomb and blew up the entire base. In the end, the military doctor Dustin Hoffman was appointed The male protagonist came to find out. Just before the male protagonist arrived at the base, the virus had spread, and the entire town was sealed off. The male protagonist tore up the behind-the-scenes conspiracy of the high-level government while looking for a cure.
The plot is full of Hollywood-specific routines, but it's still a good movie. After all, Dustin Hoffman is there, so it won't make it any worse.
What is the feeling of doomsday? A group portrait of human beings in a desperate situation is a very worthwhile discussion. Human society is a group, and individual behavior is individual. Free will in the face of mass disasters, or individual power in the face of human destiny, is sometimes not worth a sigh of relief, but Americans like to flaunt democracy and freedom. The doomsday feelings of this virus outbreak are completed by individual heroism. Of course, the virus is in a very small range, such as a small town with more than 1,000 households in the movie.
This kind of pediatrics is not as exciting as the Korean movie flu. The discussion and characterization of human nature, the characterization of government behavior and the response of the people, the flu is more interesting than extreme panic.
Wuhan, the epicenter of our novel coronavirus outbreak, had a population of more than nine million when the city was closed, followed by a nationwide lockdown. This is almost unimaginable.
I hope that one day this unprecedented battle against the epidemic can also be made into a movie by ourselves.
