Part of the essence, most of the dross

I didn't know the title of this movie at the beginning, so I watched it with respect for philosophy. If I knew the title first, I wouldn't choose to watch it. Philosophy of doomsday and philosopher of doomsday are two concepts. I am absolutely sure that this is a story about a group of people who are facing the test of survival and humanity at the end of the day. From another angle, I want to replace this group of people with a group of illiterate beggars. Their desire for survival can also collide with the spark of philosophy. So the focus is on philosophy rather than philosophers, and a certain number of points are dropped from the movie name alone. The story is divided into two clues, one is Ming and the other is Ming. They are the teacher's test on the students, and the love triangle story of the teacher's heroine and the hero. The first story line can be given 8 points, at least it can arouse people's thinking about the meaning of survival before natural disasters, and the other one can be given 3 points, which is not much different from the dog-blood love bubble drama, which is one of the failures of this film. Half of the film reviews I searched casually were complaining about the love scene part of this movie, which should be clear enough and obscure. The dark is not dark enough, nonsense. The main line in the film is divided into three tests. The only desire that can make people support watching is how to live and how to do it, three times! I gave them three chances, and they all lost to themselves, not natural disasters, so the screenwriter did not give you the answer, but told you from a so-called philosophical point of view that there are many ways to lose to natural disasters, what we see is that they lose To myself, three times, forgive me for not understanding philosophy. The unique third time heroine chose some people who seem to have useless skills, I think the only highlight of this drama is this, watching them have a happy year and died without regret, I suddenly thought Spiritual life and material life complement each other. A contented life and a happy life are indispensable. I won't complain about love scenes, and I didn't watch them seriously, because my brother is watching doomsday movies. Other aspects: the characters are not distinct, there is not a dark line with enough meaning, the seemingly dark line reveals too much and is meaningless, and no character has a change in thought and sublimation.

After the Dark quotes

  • Petra: We live... briefly, yes. Imperfectly? Of course. Stupidly? Sometimes. But we don't mind, because that's the way we're made. And when it's time to die, we don't resist death; we summon it.

  • Mr. Zimit: Do you know what apocalypse actually means?

    Petra: Tell me.

    Mr. Zimit: It's from the Greek "apokálypsis", meaning to uncover what you couldn't see before... a way out of the dark.

    Petra: Your sweet talk still needs work.
