At the beginning of the 20th century, Helen Miller's "If You Give Me Three Days of Light" was published. From the point of view of a weak and blind woman, she expressed her desire for light and her pursuit of truth, goodness and beauty. The tenacious quality and extraordinary perseverance displayed in the book were read. It made people feel moved and deeply moved, and it became a classic reading book of spiritual inspiration, which swept the world; however, if the reverse thinking was replaced by three days of darkness for mankind, what would be the consequences? The new film "Blind Influenza" by Brazilian director Melris did the opposite and made such a dangerous attempt to lead people to the deepest abyss, a world with the darkest and most terrifying silence.
The film "Blindness Flu" is adapted from the 1998 Nobel Prize-winning work "Blindness". The author is Portuguese Saramago. He is a world-reliant thinking and compassionate care in the world literary world. Famous, out of the test and worry of human nature in extreme evil, he wrote this amazing work. The book depicts a mysterious virus that has blinded the entire city, and only the wife of a doctor has unique vision. Through experiencing the struggle of the blind in a bad situation, Saramago's absurd scenes have an impact on the human condition and soul. He was tortured ruthlessly and ruthlessly. According to the author's own statement: "I always refused to adapt this work into a movie, because this is a very violent book about the fall and demise of human society." How cruel and violent the plot will be.
However, although it is a dangerous end of the world, the picture of "Blind Influenza" does not have the apocalypse of the world, and there is no thunderous shocking stunt. It is a group of blind people in the infinite darkness. Under the fear, the friction between emotions, the contest between conscience, and the game between trust; the accidental appearance of a virus, the order of the normal operation of society is suddenly destroyed, and the life ethic that human beings abides by also falls apart in an instant. Whether to be ashamed of any means to survive, or to leave a ray of life for the hidden heart of human beings, has become a question that every survivor must think about; the feature of the story is that it did not let all human beings fall into a dark and desperate situation, but deliberately left The next pair of cold eyes will witness how much human nature will degenerate and how ugly and hideous the faces will be when the same kind tear off the disguise of civilization and kill each other.
In a desperate situation, the struggle between survival instinct and moral belief is a heavy drama. The director arranged to be in a hospital quarantined by the military, taking care of each other and supporting each other. He could have found a way to survive and overcome difficulties. However, his selfish nature has closed many gates for this. Driven by selfish desires, fire and slaughter are rampant. Here, cruel and abhorrent images, heart-wrenching and sadistic content have become a set of rhetoric; from a sociological interpretation, it can be regarded as communism. Metaphor of how to rise. Hospitals have become the cellars of society, the cesspools of living beings, the fragility of human civilization, and the weakness of morality. From this, it can be seen that there is no need for a nuclear war, nor for a ten-magnitude earthquake or a major flood. It is only a small virus. Just let the kindness disappear, and the beast in the world.
Although in the back part of the movie, after experiencing unbearable suffering and pain, the heroine uses vision as a force and turns light into punishment, and begins a fierce resistance. , is it not the surviving hope that is destroyed, and the last hidden side of the same kind? Don't believe the ending. Humans suddenly regain their sight. This is just the author's fantasy to comfort the readers. In the spectrum of black and white, the good and evil of human beings have no reconciled colors, just like the dazzling whiteness in the film. Bottomless world.
Although the blind flu in the film is a fictitious disease, in reality, the symptoms of madness and indifference of human beings can be found everywhere. As the actor Glover in the play said: Our blindness did not begin with this misfortune. When the history is tampered with, the reality is concealed, and the future is fabricated, this toxin has become popular among the crowd, not only making you blind and deaf, but also making you lose the ability to think normally, and become a slave who lives in numbness and indifference. Moderate day. Martin Luther King once said that history will record in this period of social transformation, the biggest tragedy is not the arrogance of bad people, but the excessive silence of good people. Yes, I didn't lie to you, in this country where the heart has long been dark, our misfortune has long begun. If you don't believe it, just imagine what the blindness flu would be like if it happened in China. It doesn't take three days, the world will be in chaos in one day, right? Don't deny it, just look at the crazy and absurd salt rush some time ago, and you'll know this very well.
