Humanity in disaster

Usually air crash movies show the kindness of human nature and the pain of life choices. As an audience, I often live up to the director's expectations and feel moved and confused.
For example, in this film, from the collapse of one end of the tunnel and the fire on the other end, it is understood that those who are still alive trapped in the middle section will face the problems of insufficient oxygen, collapse, and flooding (the tunnel is next to the dam). Simply put, these people who did not die in the first catastrophe will die by suffocating, burning, drowning, and smashing to death. It’s just that, in this process, people’s quarrels when facing the fear of death, the thirst for life, the sublimation of feelings, help, sacrifice, and the living of part of their lives will be added. These factors are very aphrodisiac. The reason is very simple. Because people never stop pursuing the good of human nature in life, although many people are becoming numb or even evil in life, it is also because of this, when the film is reproduced in various details, people will feel life is The beauty and the endless hope of life.
The protagonist in this film who mistakenly killed others has always felt guilty, so he jumped into this hopeless rescue path that most people think. Along the way, he was questioned and relied on as a god. The two extremes appear alternately, expressing the weakness of human nature. Despite this, the protagonist holds the mentality that I must die and others must live, and leads everyone to walk hard toward hope. Therefore, he is a person who sacrifices a lot, but his Life is good. When I sacrifice my intentions and actions in exchange for a way for others to live, I did not really sacrifice. The most unforgettable sacrifice is for a dog (this dog is like a son by an elderly couple to replace the dead My son lived with them for ten years), and lost what everyone thought was the only chance to escape. Speaking of this, I have to mention the female writer. From the beginning, regardless of her life, she rescued a car of fugitives and saved a drug addict at the risk of being scorched by high-voltage electricity; in the process of escaping, she played the protagonist. The deputy, help calm the fragile soul; when the protagonist is in trouble for the dog, he did not give up the opportunity to save the protagonist and caused him to fall into danger...
All kinds of touching deeds are constantly being staged. After being moved, I suddenly thought that the movie was made. In the face of disasters, will people show the good side of human nature? Do not! impossible. There are thousands of different kinds of people, how could it be possible to behave like gold every time a disaster-this is reality.
Not only did I think that when facing the same situation, would I choose good or evil?
