I like doomsday-themed works very much. The reason why Doomsday can be used as a series of movies is that its role is to tear apart the mask of human nature and reshuffle the real world.
Reality ceases to be reality, but becomes more realistic.
When watching this series of films, we always have a kind of ambivalence. On the one hand, I hope that through fantasy, I can forget the immutable status quo in the real world, and follow the protagonist to be reborn after the catastrophe;
This kind of contradiction itself is full of strong selfishness. Doomsday movies often mean the destruction of most people, and the law of the protagonist's immortality. Belittle the so-called elite around you, and finally save yourself. The contradictions in this film are all gentle and unquestionable, and there are very few descriptions of bloody scenes, which makes me relieved that it does not cause physical nausea, and allows the mind to calmly experience the "physiological" of the soul. reaction".
The reason why Blind Flu is called a fairy tale by me:
First, because the protagonist is almost a saint.
From the beginning, she played the role of a wife more than a mother. When her husband tried to discuss with her the problem of blindness at work, she just answered vaguely as an ordinary listener. Since she could not understand her husband's medical terms, she could only do so, but she gave her husband a Delicious cake, this is a very practical and lifelike woman who has crumbled her tenderness into mundane trifles, until at the end her husband misses the name when thanking her for the food From a point of view, it shows that there is a spiritual difference between husband and wife. This can be seen as a foreshadowing, explaining the doctor's derailment later, and the fact that the wife turned back to comfort the third party has become a real sublimation of her image. This is no longer a woman with selfish desires, because at this time she stands at the top of the entire human being and overlooks the earth, leaving only complete motherhood, until she can temporarily unload the burden, at the end of the film, she is able to Become a woman.
I wonder if the author's intention is to make a point: the deification of nature in omniscience and omnipotence.
The condition is that it is a woman, as the original Nobel laureate José Saramago wrote on the title page, dedicated to his daughter and wife. So there is an obvious tribute to women in this book.
The second is its ending.
I believe that many people are not satisfied with this ending. As an adult, this ending seems to tell us that everything before was just like a nightmare, not afraid, not afraid, and everything will return to the past after waking up. After puberty, we hate having someone stand in our way when all the bad things have come to fruition. The moment I saw the Japanese man regain his sight, the image of the narrator in front of me immediately changed from a stern judge to a kind teacher holding a ruler. This is not a disaster movie, but a fairy tale. The role of this blind stream is just to teach mankind a lesson, not a life-and-death judgment. What is shown in front of the protagonist alone is enough to make us ashamed. This film actually only ripped open a mouth in front of the protagonist, allowing her and the audience to see everything under the human skin, violence, selfishness, infatuation, animal desires... Until the city finally recovered, only she saw everything, so At the end, the protagonist says, "Now I'm going to be blind." At the end of the film, its true meaning is easy to understand: human beings return to normal, and she can no longer see the "real". As a disaster film, the director chose such an ending, and I am not qualified to discuss its good or bad. As a reader, I just need to listen quietly to what the author conveys. Maybe the reality is like this, what floats on the surface is always good, and we also faintly feel the huge darkness below, but only by maintaining the balance of the surface, can we drive the heart and not capsize.
Selfishness is innate, it cannot change the status quo, so you can only get used to it and use morality to whitewash it. In this crowded society where only people are left, it is not just a group of filth and chaos. Maintaining one is not the best but the most appropriate state.
Sometimes I think that if there is no such thing as culture, human beings will live in eternal darkness.
Fairy tales are absurd, but they are soft milky white, illuminating this drowsy reality and giving everyone a breather.
Finally, there is a question about love: for men, taking care of each other for a long time is a great love, and the resonance of the heart is also a necessity of love. However, the two will inevitably change over time. Under such conditions, does it mean that men will definitely cheat?
