I haven't seen such a depressing movie for a long time. When I watched this film, I felt a bit like "The Fog". In New York after the nuclear war, when God left people, people's original nature was exposed. I believe that Xun Zi's nature is inherent evil statement. After such a catastrophe, how many people can still keep their own principles in a world that is falling apart? There are no absolute good people or bad people in this movie. Let’s start with the old fireman Mickey, the owner of the basement. He seems to be a dictator-style ruthless character, but in fact, his seemingly dictatorial approach is actually to ensure the supply of food and Rules, Mickey naturally understands in his heart that there are no rules and no circles, but after all, he is the only one who is weak, and it is not easy to control so many people. Of course, people will not understand what he does, and Mickey is not a ruthless person. When the heroine saw the photos of the husband, wife and children in Mickey's house, as well as photos with colleagues when he was a firefighter, I was in my heart. It's very sad. If all this didn't happen, what a happy family this would be, and Mickey, who has experienced the separation of his wife and children, can still keep his calm, which is not something ordinary people can do. Besides, Uncle Black Darwin, this character is a normal person I think. He just wants to survive with the people in the basement, but he is too impatient and doesn't understand Mickey's way of hiding food. In the end, his impulse led to Her own death, and the mother in the film. When her daughter was still alive, she showed the love of an ordinary mother. When her daughter was taken away, the mother's last sustenance disappeared. She chose to degenerate, but in the end she died. No dignity, followed by the big brother Zos, this character is the one with the biggest contrast in my opinion. At the beginning of the film, he voluntarily put on a chemical protective suit and went out to find a daughter for his mother, a hero-like character, but in a little In the hopeless closed world, his inner defenses and morals all collapsed. He became a demon. He led people to overthrow Mickey, but he became the person he hated the most - a dictator, and it became even worse. And Zuosi's younger brother is a person who has basically not changed. He is the only remaining person who can see right from wrong and has good human nature, but in the end, he was killed by the heroine's girlfriend jealously. He regretted. The heroine's boyfriend actually understands right and wrong, but his cowardice can't make him stand up for justice. But in fact, this character reflects the formal broad masses of ordinary people, who dare to be angry but dare not speak, and live stubbornly, and if such ordinary people dare to stand up, they will set off a spark like Katniss played by the cousin of "The Hunger Games". revolution. Finally, let's talk about the heroine. The heroine is the person who always keeps calm and clear-headed in this film. She
