Live cleanly in despair——28 days later

When I was in college, I saw an introduction in a film review, and I took it home with me for 28 weeks.
How would you react when you wake up in an unfamiliar environment and find that the whole city is empty? This is a cliché beginning. Of course, we don’t just make assumptions once, go to the mall or bank or wherever you want to go, like JIM. Immediately, the people infected by the virus had to appear, so the picture began to shake greatly, the close-up and the use of light and shadow were so skillful, and it successfully created a full sense of tension.
I thought that was it, didn't it? Those who are not infected eliminate the infection. If you win, it will be GAME OVER, but it seems that I was wrong.
From the moment the radio was heard, JIM, women, fathers and daughters were destined to embark on this destined path, and this is the path everyone must travel. The atmosphere on the way is the most relaxing in the whole story of Killing. The four horses that I met in the pasture were happily eaten, like a family picnic. However, after arriving at the location, what about the soldiers? There will always be one step later, and the daughter has witnessed the whole process of shooting and killing the infected father. I think from this moment on, she has grown up.
Came to the seemingly safest place, the camera seems to be very generous with the sculpture in the middle of the room, appearing alone no less than 10 times, a Greek mythology, a big snake is entangled with a man, the snake is synonymous with temptation, I want to direct Is trying to imply something. Sure enough, the warm dinner was not over in time. A real killing, a dirty killing kicked off the gorgeous prelude. After that, the commander’s face was given a 4-second close-up together with the painful and distorted sculpture. At that time, I understood with JIM that the real thing has already begun.
All thrillers and horror films are nothing more than discussions and doubts about human nature in the end. This is just my one-sided experience, and 28 days is no exception. The truly terrible thing is not the virus-infected person, but the filthy soul. The heavily armed soldiers seem to be very tough, but in fact they dare not even face it. And in the end, JIM, who lost almost his whole body and bloody shirt, seemed to me the strongest, because in despair, he was still alive cleanly.
The girl's performance from beginning to end is very calm, not at the quiet of this age, like her last big red dress studded with sequins, the only bright color in the film, it seems full of hope.
When everything settled down, when JIM and the woman were kissing in so much blood, he said softly: Listen, listen, everything is over. This is a beautiful sentence, although it has nothing to do with love or anything else.
Obviously, the director is a kind-hearted child. From the end of the film JIM wakes up in the sun, the big HELLO and gorgeous colors can be seen. After all, despair, no one loves.
