In the United States, there was a problem with the space shuttle program. The spacecraft exploded during its landing. The accident brought extraterrestrial organisms. The organisms appeared in the form of bacteria. They were intelligent entities with a volume of only a few cells. They invaded the human body and combined their DNA with Combination of humans, infected human individuals will be transformed in REM sleep and their genetic programming will be rewritten. When Carol (Nicole) realizes that the people around him have changed, the situation has become uncontrollable, and more and more people are infected. They have no feelings, no mood swings, indifference, but unusual unity. At this time, Kahlo's son Oliver had been sent to her ex-husband’s residence, but her ex-husband was the first to be infected.
In contact and conflict with mutants, Ben (Daniel Craig) and Carol discovered that people who had suffered from ADEM (a type of encephalitis) had immunity, and Oliver had this immunity. After Kahlo was infected by her ex-husband, she tried to rescue her son who was under house arrest by her ex-husband. Kahlo disguised himself as a mutant and entered the house of his ex-husband’s mother, and took his son to escape. When they arrived at a drugstore and waited for a long time, Ben finally came, but he had been infected and became a mutant, and he was collaborating with him. A mutant tried to catch Kahlo and Oliver. Kahlo shot and wounded Ben, and his son drove all the way, and finally fled to the top of a building, where Stephen was rushed to rescue him and left by helicopter. At the end of the film, the world seems to have returned to calm, and the doctor interviewed said meaningfully: at least we are now human beings. And Carol was looking at the newspaper at home, thinking about what a Russian said at the banquet, if there were no wars and crimes, humans would no longer be humans.
It seems that Nicol has not been influenced by Oscar's doomed fate. Regardless of his choice of film vision (not to mention her vision has always been very poisonous), at least in terms of performance, Nicol gave a very wonderful answer.
The mother played by Nicol is very affectionate. When she prepared the syringe in the drugstore, she talked to Oliver and encouraged him to learn to cope with it bravely. This passage is impressive. Especially after being infected, she showed strong and brave, fearlessness and admiration, non-feminine, and savage like a mother beast. She picked up the child named Jin in the bedroom and slammed into the bedpost.
In the infected city, Kahlo pretended to be calm, calm, and calmly dealt with various situations. When he saw someone falling from the top of the building, he left blankly. Nicol left the surface as if nothing had happened, and his heart was overwhelmed. The emotions are well grasped. Moreover, Nico's car scene near the end of the film is also very bright. It can be said that the whole film is completely supported by Nicol Kidman alone. Of course, the performance of the small actors is also quite good, and Daniel may not have much to express because of the needs of the drama and the plot. It can be said to be quite satisfactory and basically complete the task.
There are several interesting things about the film. One is that Kahlo and his son are hiding in a warehouse, and his ex-husband chases after him. He has a word, saying that Kahlo only cares about his son and career, and he is the third one. If the mutant is a non-emotional creature, where does his jealousy and complaint come from?
The second is that Kahlo pretended to be a mutant on the street. A black policeman walked to her and said that she was sweating. The mutant would recognize her and tell her to leave immediately. The situation at that time was that all the police in the city had become mutants, and this big black guy might also be an immune person, or his acting skills were more superb, disguised more like it, should consider going to Hollywood to develop.
The third is the recurring passage in the film: no war, no poverty, no harm, no. . . I probably want to say that there is no alien, I don't know what the situation is, I can only imagine it. And the wonderful debate between the old Russian man and Kahlo, perhaps affirming what the director or screenwriter wanted to say, fatalism?
