I drive, wait for a storm to come, and wash us all away.

but it doesn't.

It's a beautiful day, and it shouldn't be a beautiful day.

I wait, but nothing happens to me.

And for the first time, i feel like i am alone in this world.

But i know i will be alone.



Just when I was quite critical of the movie for its few infected and its relatively peaceful escape, the end came, two A leader who is well versed in the way of survival arrived at the destination of the trip and escaped the invasion of the virus, but endless loneliness rolled in. They thought that the most terrible thing at the end of the day was the virus. Only then did I know that the biggest enemy in the apocalypse was loneliness.
The director just borrowed the background of the virus attack, but he didn't have much energy to discuss the virus and the so-called human heart. The reasons for embarking on this road, their backgrounds, are not important, the only important thing is that they are ordinary people, not saviors.

The relationship between brian, danny, and bobby seems simple, but there are subtle and inexplicable ambiguities hidden between them. Brian may really love Bobby, but when he resolutely drives Bobby out of the car after the infection, it proves that BOBBY may not necessarily be the one he loves the most. Brian and danny may be a simple brotherhood, but Danny's extra "don't take it wrong way" when he takes off Brian's pants makes the thread unclear. As for kate, if brian and bobby are whiteface, then kate is a typical blackface and leads danny to completely throw away his hypocritical mask. Maybe it’s wrong to say that they are so sane, survival of the fittest is the rule of nature, kate and danny just use all means to make themselves survive, and anyone can make similarities in this situation thing. With the idea of ​​doom together, kate and danny left almost everything, just to survive. Brian and Bobby are different. In the same situation, they choose to protect themselves as much as possible without hurting others, so they can move forward with the infected little girl for a while. For Kate, the only relationship she has with this group is that she is Danny's classmate. At the beginning, both she and Danny explicitly denied the relationship between boyfriend and girlfriend. For kate, he can take all measures to protect himself without any worries, and danny is undoubtedly the most chilling character. Brian dropped Bobby from the car and said that he was protecting himself. It is obviously unreasonable, if he really Afraid that he would be infected, why would he have to carry Bobby for a long time, and it would be even more impossible to protect Kate. They had nothing to do with each other. Obviously, the only thing he thought of was Danny. He thought he could take the infected Bobby to his destination as soon as possible, but Danny at the gas station asked him to let him drop Bobby. Although Danny didn't say anything, Brian naturally knew why he was here. In the film, brian and danny keep mentioning the seaside villa they are going to. Obviously this seaside villa is very important to them. In order to return to the seaside villa with danny, Brian can leave everything behind, even He killed his parents for Danny himself. It can be said that Brian has done a lot for Danny.
The tone of the film has always been soothing, so it feels real. They are just a group of ordinary people on the run. There is no mafia to hunt down and kill, no monsters to attack, and some are just a few fugitives from the end of the world, sometimes shooting for raw materials. They know their own pain, they don't need to know the pain of others.

The most moving passers-by are probably the father who was carrying his infected daughter in his arms, looking for medicine everywhere. He finally thought that he had found someone who could treat him, but found that there was still no cure. A father was worried and anxious for his child. The emotions are very touching, but this is the end, and everyone is destined to die here, so the father gave up the futile struggle, hugged his daughter, sang to her and left silently. Brian took everyone away without hesitation. Brian, who was in the leadership position, gave people a cold-blooded feeling. Until the last game, when he and Danny and Kate were on the fire, Brian weakly muttered to himself about these things in his heart. deepest fear. Obviously brian expected Danny to do this from the time he knew he was infected, so he put away his pistol vigilantly, and the car key was like his last request, he thought he could touch Danny and take care of his old feelings , He thought that Danny knew the meaning of going to the seaside villa in his heart. Until Danny moved out of the rules he made, Brian definitely didn't expect Danny to use this set against him. This is how he knew that it was hopeless to arouse Danny's feelings. "my little brother, i taught him everything he know," followed by gunshots. Danny chose to sacrifice everything to protect himself, as brian said, "he is the only one uses brian".

The photo of Brian and Danny when they were young has always been an important prop in the film. It appears from time to time. It seems that everything is secretly developing around the clues contained in this photo. And just like the director's always ambiguous handling, the film doesn't explain too much, and the rest is left to everyone to think about.
There's too much background about brian and danny, their parents, kate and bobby, but who cares, it's the end of the world. If you know how to sacrifice everything, then the end of the road under the apocalypse is boundless loneliness, maybe keep some things, and death is not a bad thing. As for what kind of human nature and animal nature, the director just recorded a fragment of the escape, and he didn't even give the actual ending. He probably wasn't interested in discussing it.
