The title of "Blind Flu" directly sums up the film's content: the story of a "flu" that spreads blindness. High-contrast, high-exposure images and streets where cultural signs are difficult to find give a basic setting. This is an overhead, imagined world, but occupations such as doctors, lawyers, financiers, and police show that it is still relatively Civilized, but even so, barbaric and horribly realistic things happened when they were quarantined after infection.
Patients are locked in a "isolated" space, and in the case of extremely scarce resources, human survival instinct has become the original driving force of behavior. All previous social relations were cleared, they could not see each other, and could not obtain information that could be obtained visually, which made them gradually strip away the attributes of civilization and return to the original. The social relationship is cleared, but the circle relationship is still there, and there is even a person who is not blind. A "Utopia" of peace and stability. As more and more people came in, after the "dictatorial monarch" threatened people in other districts with a gun and the evil of humanity broke out, the only person who could see everything clearly had to choose to resist and bring his own After the small circle escaped, she found that the whole city was blind and everything collapsed, and she protected her small circle with great advantages, forming a small utopia, trusting and relying on each other, and the reborn from the pain. The beauty will eventually be wiped out because of the restoration of vision, as said at the end of the film
The setting of "blindness" is very ingenious. The loss of this important survivability and invisible bullets blocked their hope of returning to the outside world, and also blinded the rationality derived from civilization, which made human nature manifest more representative. Now more and more people support Xunzi's "evil nature theory", but this film puts a beam of light in the evils of human nature, creating a seemingly happy and warm utopia. Why is this?
With the progress and growth of human civilization, in order to integrate into the society, each talent slowly builds the defense line of the ego and superego, and becomes law-abiding and more rational. However, once the window paper of order is pierced, what kind of fate will mankind face? In my opinion, the author denies that human nature is inherently good, but believes that as long as there is a little rationality, everything is controllable and regenerable.
We are experiencing a rare global infectious disease. Fortunately, in the real world, there are government management and relatively reasonable resource allocation. Most people retain their rationality. This epidemic will eventually be controlled until it disappears. But even if the epidemic is over, the world will not be what it used to be. To the naked eye, the disaster exposed many problems, many institutions were considered to have failed, and in fact it did not matter whether they actually failed. The climax of the epidemic has passed, and the climax of social conflicts is coming. The process of post-disaster economic reconstruction is like putting a country in an isolation hospital with few resources. This is bloody, but most ordinary people will still be encouraged by the epidemic, and even their active life will become more optimistic. This is the utopia that the virus has given us, but it is undeniable that the future will be extremely challenging, and decision-making mistakes will definitely be indispensable, but how to maintain our utopia requires the next step of thinking with civilized rationality.
