There is nothing more painful than seeing a great movie and being misunderstood by everyone, one that even includes the same people who praise it. Movies, or most movies, when they try to work on us, we can only have two macro attitudes about them: believe and disbelieve.

If you just sit wherever you are, chewing gum or drinking tea, and analyze the movie from the elements of the movie, then the conclusion you reach will always be nothing in reality, that is, there is no meaning at all. Those who choose to "don't believe" please shut up. Although you have taken over the world. . .

    It was originally thought that the film would end when the male protagonist opened the door of the bunker, but unexpectedly, there was a small turning point behind it, and it also brought a more unexpected and shocking open ending. The unease hidden in the calm gradually emerges under the wonderful performances of the male and female protagonists. Jessica Chastain is great!
