doomsday philosopher

Synopsis: In their last philosophy class before graduation, students are forced to participate in thought experiments. The identity and skills were determined by drawing lots, and three experiments were carried out. The gimmick of this movie is based on philosophy, and it also shows the direct emotional line between the teacher and the heroine and heroine. In the film, the first and second experimental poets were shot to death by the teacher when they stood up to introduce themselves. They felt that the poet was of little use to them and lost a life. The third experiment made the deepest impression on me. The heroine she chose made the poets and singers. Those who made the first two times boring let them in, but those who went in lived happily and unrestrainedly. There was music in it. There are fine wines and poets that can nurture our cultural atmosphere, which is worth moving. The three scenes where the teacher goes upstairs three times at the end of the movie represent the teacher's inner emotions and different endings. I also found the first three small experiments to be very interesting.

The whole film gives me the feeling that, in the face of choices, whether it should be rational or emotional, different people have different choices.

    In very ideal and very unsatisfactory situations, the logical results may be very different. Going through a thinking game can be a very exciting experience. #Try to experience things that you can’t experience yourself#

After the Dark quotes

  • [Mr. Zimit just announced to the class that they'll conduct a final big thought experiment, about survival during a global cataclysm]

    Chips: But what kind of cataclysm are we talking about? Gamma ray burst? Pandemic? Erupting super volcano? A sudden shift in the Earth's axis rotation? Grey goo?

    Mr. Zimit: Hang on, Chips, we'll get there.

    Chips: But is it biological? Geological? Thermo-nuclear? Meteorological?

    Mr. Zimit: Let's go old school. Say... atomic.

  • [In the third iteration, Petra waives her own eligibility, and now announces who receives the last remaining bunker slot]

    Petra: Bonnie, get inside.

    Bonnie: I'm a soldier, I know how to knock things down. You're an engineer, you know how to build things up. I'm not worth as much.

    Petra: My logic's fuzzier. In my apocalypse, everybody is worth as much as everybody else.

    Bonnie: I'm not letting you sacrifice yourself to save me.

    Petra: I won't let *you* sacrifice yourself to save me.

    Bonnie: Then we'll both go up in smoke, and you'll have wasted a slot for someone to live.

    [Petra then asks Chips instead of Bonnie for the last bunker slot]
