The Ruins was originally a book, and was later adapted into a movie. The Chinese translation book is "Ruins" and the movie is "Terrorist Ruins".
I didn’t know there was a movie until I read the book first, so I still liked the book as before. The movie cut out a lot of plots because of the visual and space requirements, and even changed the characters’ personalities. Very acceptable, but I really like the ending of the movie. The ending in the book is so tragic. Later, I learned that the screenwriter of the movie is also the author of the book - Scott B. Smith.
I don't know if it's because of the deletion of space, or because of the difference between text and vision, I always feel that the movie failed to express the aspects that the characters feel that time is difficult. . The second difference in the movie is the plant. It’s different from the plants I thought of when I read the book. The imagination is different from the reality. The plants in the imagination are very green and vigorous, but the plants in the movie can’t feel that kind of thing. domineering. The third thing I don't like is the feeling that the fear of the characters is not so deep, and the feeling of fear is not brought to the audience. Some of the disgusting pictures in the movie are similar to the original, so there is nothing to say.
The horror of this story comes from the hope and disappointment in the bottom of my heart, from the fear and helplessness when human beings face something they have never encountered before. There is no doubt that the torment of time is the most painful, and the line of defense in the heart is time and new things The fear gradually collapsed, and those who are not afraid can go to read books and movies.

The Ruins quotes

  • Jeff: [grabbing a water bottle from Stacy] We should save this.

    Eric: Hey, she's thirsty.

    Jeff: I know, it's just that we don't have that much.

    Eric: Well why do you get to decide Jeff?

    Jeff: Okay, well we can all decide. But just keep in mind that each of us needs a half a gallon of water every day just to survive. And right now, we don't even have a day's worth.

  • Jeff: One of you has to go.

    Amy: Go? Go where?

    Jeff: Down. We're going to check the rest of the rope and make sure it's secure, and then one of you...

    Amy: [interrupting him] Why do we have to go? Why can't you or Eric?

    Jeff: Because you're not strong enough. We need to work the crank.

    Stacy: [after a long pause] I'll go.
