Arrogance, ignorance, stupidity, tragedy repeats

The disaster is not terrible, the terrible thing is the recurrence of the disaster. 2003 and 2019 are only 16 years apart. The same time, the same cause, almost the same virus, the same power of the virus, the same ignorance of the virus, and the same stupid mistakes. Arrogance, ignorance, and stupidity. In front of nature, we think we are "conquerors", we think we are the masters of nature, we think we can transform nature, we think we are omnipotent, we think we can do whatever we want with other animals, so nature gives We are a small punishment, hope to take a warning, but it is a pity... Arrogance, ignorance, stupidity. The response is not timely, the "golden prevention and control period" is missed, the information is not open and transparent, and the statistics are the same as playing digital games.

Life is at stake, this is ignorance of life, it is a crime! Natural disasters are not tragedies, man-made disasters are tragedies; disasters are not tragedies, but recurrences are tragedies. A large-scale emergency can expose humanity the most. The beautiful, ugly, good, and evil are all exposed. A natural and man-made calamity not only brings us disasters and losses, but also brings us reflections on human nature and perfection of the system. Hundreds of lives are worth learning from each of us. Otherwise, 16 years later will be the next tragedy!

    Poor Kevin Spacey, who didn't show his face in the end, was dead. . .

    It's a very routine movie, and it's logical from beginning to end. There are no surprises, but there are no regrets. There is a lot of knowledge involved, but the director and the screenwriter did not make a fool of themselves. They have always tried to keep the story simple and clear, and the characters portrayed in the movie are too three-dimensional and full of emotions. I really like this kind of movie, and the ending is also very good. . The director of "Perfect Storm" is indeed similar to some extent.
