sci-fi ideal

The writer of this review has been struggling with what the title should be called. The ideal world view and the real world view are facing the impact.
The movie virus infection and source are very simple, and there is no conspiracy theory. The whole film is very simple to outline that the virus is coming, people are infected by the virus, and it is found that the virus changes people's minds and allows people to live in the ideal world of the people who were infected in the film.
Why is it stressing the ideal world of the people who are infected in the film? Actually, it is also the world that the director of this film did not express clearly. In reality, the ideal people think should be that kind of paradise, without disputes and exploitation. However, there is a scene in the movie, that is, when the two jumped from the high-rise building, no one stopped and no one was sentimental or a little pity. Indifferent, it is ironic that after being infected, Xiao Jin said "everyone is the same, your family is my family" The
real world is described in the movie is very cruel, the TV news and newspapers that appear in the movie talk about it It's all war, war. In the end, the downfall of the male protagonist is also his dissatisfaction and escape from the real world.
The whole film is a very contradictory entanglement. The described ideal world does not have a beautiful outline. It advocates indifference, just like a monk, without hate or love. The world is a family, and the family is the world. In the director's view, the desired peace is indifference. People's indifference can bring about an ideal world of peace.
In the end, the male protagonist's words also seem to reveal the core of the film. Disputes and wars prove that this is a human being.
A sci-fi horror film that is preachy but has no paradise.
It's just a superficial opinion, just say it casually, for everyone's pleasure.

    Yorish: [repeated line; in voice-over] In the right situation, we are all capable of the most terrible crimes. To imagine a world where this was not so, where every crisis did not result in new atrocities, where every newspaper is not full of war and violence. Well, this is to imagine a world where human beings cease to be human.
