Life is as small as a dust in the face of politics

I watched it when I was in junior high school, and I was shocked when I watched it. I only remembered that it was a highly contagious virus. Now I know it is the plague, and I can understand why it will destroy them. The plague is indelible in the history of mankind black memory, especially for medieval Europe, the contagion that wiped out three-quarters of Europe's population. But the film is more political than medical. Because the research on plague in the United States is a secret act, killing people is the only way, otherwise it will explain how and where the virus came from. And what is the difference between letting the train go to the Cassandra Bridge and Hitler's concentration camp where Jews were sent to a concentration camp? The real purpose of the upper echelons to do something will never be known to the common people. What is the difference between the soldiers who maintain the orders of the upper echelons and the Nazi officers? In front of the state machine, all people are just parts, and they have no ability to turn the tide. All they can do is to follow the steps, otherwise they will be eliminated. Thinking about it this way, I suddenly felt that Hitler was only a winner and loser in World War II, and it seemed that he was not much different from Napoleon. Of course, slaughtering Jews in order to plunder wealth is an act against humanity, but in terms of motivation, there are too many such things in human history.

    40 years later, I still feel nervous and heartbeat. Except for the special effects, the film's narrative, characters, and theme connotations are still high-level works under the current aesthetics. The relationship between the characters is very well set, and each of them has a dual identity, which satisfies the functions of entanglement, conflict, opposition, emotional construction, metaphor and atmosphere adjustment. I have never seen a train movie construct a nearly complete strong ideological society. This is so clear and effective, accompanied by the US poking at the virus, small individuals from Britain, France, and Italy appearing on stage, the Finns vowing not to return to the concentration camps, and the fake priests and the real ones. The first half is perfect, the crisis of the Shaoshui Bridge in the middle and the latter part is a bit late, and the climax ending is extremely shocking. The train fell one by one, and the corpse, luggage, and isolation coffin floated on the water, which was too shocking. When I was a child, I thought the old rich arms dealer was stupid, but now I think this is a woman who is used to seeing wind and rain! Off-site information: OJ's acting is very natural, and the gun is not bad. Sophia Roland, who is not confused above, is still full of girlishness and romance, and Richard Harris can use blue eyes to give people a hug even if he is bald.
