natural disaster

In 1995, the horror sci-fi disaster thriller film "Extreme Panic | Outbreak"

Quite a classic movie, the long shot that came up, first give a like.

God plays, the plot is compact, and it has a sense of story (but it is too beautified). The movie starts with a quote:

"the single biggest threat to man's continued dominance on this planet is the virus."

-Joshua Lederberg

However, when I watch disaster movies, I always remember a famous quote from Hegel:

The only lesson we learn from history is that we never learn from history !

--- Hegel

Now European and American movies are more addicted to zombies, superhero movies, and disaster movies. South Korea's filming is not bad. Basically, they are also satirizing the society, the media, and the government. . Of course, this movie will not run out of this Fan Cuo. The quantitative change to the qualitative change is a mistake superimposed on another, until the change of "the last straw that overwhelms the camel", it must be a natural disaster and a man-made disaster.

However, in 1995, this story was very vivid. Some of the descriptions of the virus and infection in the middle were still vivid, not fabricated out of thin air. After all, works come from life. This is what I value more.

---I am the dividing line of contagion--

Recommendation index: ★★★☆ (7/10 points), the story is vivid and compact, with thrilling and humorous, incidentally a little shadow of childhood, a very good emotional movie, it should have been broadcast on CCTV6, you can watch it if you want to remember~

    Very old film. Now it seems that the plot has some routines, but it's not bad

Outbreak quotes

  • General Donald McClintock: Colonel Briggs.

    Colonel Briggs: Yes, sir.

    General Donald McClintock: Daniels was here? And here?

    Colonel Briggs: Yes, he was down here.

    General Donald McClintock: Why was I not informed?

    Colonel Briggs: Sir, you were sleeping.

    General Donald McClintock: I am never *that* asleep, Briggs. Now you find him and you arrest him.

  • Sam Daniels: Do you know the incubation period?

    Dr. Benjamin Iwabi: No. But it kills in two or three days. The mortality rate is 100%.

    Sam Daniels: Jesus. Could an infected person have gotten out of the village?

    Dr. Benjamin Iwabi: If he did, he'd be dead or dying in the jungle. And it's 50 miles to the nearest village.

    Sam Daniels: First case? Patient zero?

    Dr. Benjamin Iwabi: A young man called Murazo worked with a white man to build a-a road into Kinshasa. And when he returned, he was sick.

    Sam Daniels: I see.

    Dr. Benjamin Iwabi: And he drank from this well. From there it spread through the entire village.

    [Sam takes a look at the well, and then turns back to Benjamin]

    Sam Daniels: Did you identify the carrier? The host?

    Dr. Benjamin Iwabi: No. When he arrived the boy was incoherent. He died, uh, two hours later. He couldn't tell us how he got it.

    [Sam looks up and notices a healthy villager chanting on the hills]

    Sam Daniels: He's not sick.

    Dr. Benjamin Iwabi: [looks toward the villager] He's a local juju man. Witch doctor. He stayed in his cave a whole week.

    Sam Daniels: I'd like to talk to him.

    Dr. Benjamin Iwabi: No, he talks to me. You see, he believes that the gods were awoken from their sleep by the men cutting down the trees where no man should be. And the gods got angry. This is a punishment.
