The film's strong religious and realistic metaphors weaken the color of science fiction to a certain extent, but as a fantasy and speculation about the trend of the near future, under the heavy doomsday tone, it actually contains a powerful hope and a strong contrast. Undoubtedly fascinating.
The most impressive thing in the film is that there are three scenes in total.
The first scene, without a doubt, is the long shot of the reversal of the attack that can be recorded in film history. In this big play, from the warm memories brought by the small interactive actions of the male and female protagonists, to the sudden separation of life and death caused by the sudden death of the female protagonist, there are emotional ups and downs, forming a huge emotional gap. Of course, there is also the camera movement that has to be said. In the small and cramped space of the car, the camera captures the characters, and uses the camera to tell the whole story of escaping from this subsection, until the end, watching the car go away , the camera freezes on the dead policeman, which brings an end to this story, which has to be praised.
In the second scene, Kee came down from the building with the child. All the soldiers stopped and stopped firing. They stared at the child in Kee's arms, full of awe for life and hope for the future. As the original book cover said, when the end comes, the evil will remain evil, and the great will be greater.
The third is at the end of the film, on a night boat in the vast sea, the hero Theo has died, and behind him is a buoy with a flashing red light. Kee held the baby, looked at the red light of hope, and waited for the Tomorrow. When huge cruise ships appeared, human beings had hope and continuity.
