I watched "Cassandra Bridge"

Saw the 1976 movie Cassandra Bridge today.

Selected the above translation. Hearing is very comfortable. The dubbing masters of the year added a lot to the film. I saw a lot of familiar faces Sophia Loren, Richard Harris, and O.J. Simpson. Now that I think about it, in Europe and the United States at that time, this list of actors can be considered an absolutely luxurious lineup.

The context of the story is clear and the direction is obvious. Love, family, gunfights, conspiracy, all are not lacking.

The people in the carriage were infected with the plague. People outside blocked doors and windows to keep passengers from getting out. Passengers were desperate to save themselves, and their own people were cut off from other people. Full of ethical paradoxes and political metaphors, the ending is reversed.

New Year's Day today. The plague is raging, and I dare not go anywhere. I am afraid of death and greedy for life. On days like this, I have at least two friends rereading Love in the Time of Cholera. After breakfast, I also flipped. At the end of the book, Márquez writes this dialogue:

- "How long do you think we're talking nonsense like this?"

— "For ever and ever!" he said.

A swinger gets the affection of a former lover. This kind of answer is wonderful and full of confidence, which makes all single Wang Yan, including me, envious. Love is blind. Blind love controls the plague, surpasses life, and deserves praise. Books like this will always be read. No wonder it sells well.

However, another great writer, Pei Duofei, has long pointed out: For love and life, "if it is for freedom, both can be thrown away". This topic, around us, is the least discussed and the least recognized.

Most people feel that "it is better to die than to live". This is pitiful. Now, the plague is coming. Everyone finally experienced the taste of "living alive". Both tragic and ignorant. This side is generous to die, and the other side is willing to be a horn of meat. After all, one virus hurts the body, and another virus hurts the mind.

The film is considered the ancestor of disaster films. After a disaster, the movie itself is a disaster. This gave me a chance to relive a hypothetical story that took place in Europe.
