Write casually about the Cassandra Bridge

A milestone for disaster films!

It is very subtle, the plague is the clue of the movie, it is a natural disaster, but it is just a pretense, it leads to a man-made disaster. What the movie really wants to talk about is the unpredictable human heart that is more terrifying than the plague.

So, the title of the movie - Cassandra Bridge, is very subtle. The real conflict in the film is the bridge, for the passengers, whether to leave the fate in the hands of politics or hold it tightly in one's own hands. For soldiers and doctors, when faced with a choice, whether to be loyal to duty and orders, or out of kindness.

And the discussion of human nature, such as trusting and being trusted, the fickleness of human nature, and mediating the contradiction between heart and reality. The ending makes a wonderful satire on politics.

The vision and structure that the film presents is fantastic for a film from 40 years ago.

    The train was sealed, passengers were forbidden to get off the train, and even the air could not flow out. This is shocking enough. Passing the train across the Cassandra Bridge is even more brutal and vicious, killing everyone, but also like an accident. It can not only control the epidemic, but also throw the pot away. Even if it was later discovered that high-concentration oxygen can kill the virus and the infected person may be cured, the colonel insisted on the original plan and must kill everyone. Not only to kill the passengers, but also the soldiers to keep alive. I would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go. Cruel, cruel and inhumane. Kill everyone, and the epidemic will be brought under control. It's really a logical genius. He thought he had killed all the insiders, but he didn't know that he was also an insider. He only knows that the boss sent him to take charge of this matter, but he did not know that the boss also sent other people to stare at him. Maybe the next step is to get rid of him. He thought he was dark enough, but he didn't know that he was still tender.

    It’s awesome, and I’m still interested in rewatching it now, with the brilliant dubbing, the unparalleled plot, and every second is full of tension. In fact, when I think of it, I watched this movie once when I was young, but the memory is so clear. I love Richard Harris and I love the young Sophia Loren. There were so many sexual cues, laughter and blood all the way. Flowing into a river can be called the originator of all disaster films. March 7, 2012. d5 dubbed classics

The Cassandra Crossing quotes

  • Col. Stephen Mackenzie: Good God woman! Do you think I would personally send a thousand people to their deaths?

    Dr. Elena Stradner: No. But I think you'd simply let them be killed. And that's almost worse.

  • Col. Stephen Mackenzie: [On speaker phone] I don't have to tell you what we're up against!

    Dr. Jonathan Chamberlain: What you're up against? I may be the only doctor for a thousand potential plague victims if I haven't caught it myself.

    Col. Stephen Mackenzie: That's exactly why it's important to contain the disease now and why you'll all be heading for an isolation facility in Poland, where you'll get the very best...

    Dr. Jonathan Chamberlain: In the meantime, what do you intend I fight it with? Aspirin?
