Simply put, the film is to record the process of a person or a small group of people holding a DV to record an emergency. A large part of the film is a replay of the DV. You seem to have experienced this nightmarish night like these people, everything seems to happen right in front of you, so close, so horrified, so desperate.
Disaster movies like War of the Worlds are classic, but this one is different from those. Although the scene is not so grand, watching this movie, it seems that you no longer look down on the suffering of all beings from the perspective of a third party or God, but are trapped among a few helpless young people and experience with them. This horrific disaster. From the sudden power outage in a relaxed party, you and the protagonists are caught in a huge panic and confusion, then run with the protagonists, see the fireballs flying, the people retreat, the army shoots, and even you can't see the monsters. It looks like, but you can feel more and more horrified and desperate like the protagonist, until the end, when the subtitles appear, you feel like you are constantly being bombarded, and there is only one sentence in your mouth, that's how it happened. As audiences (we still can't forget this identity), we still have some hope, and we still feel that movies are always movies, and that the director can always rescue the protagonists in the end. However, the ending is. .
Although in the end, only DV is left. . . What is the world at the end of the movie? Nobody knows. Who will see this DV? Too many questions keep our fragile hearts from coming out of the film for a long time. However, what I see from DV is not only disaster, but also courage, friendship, and love. Maybe that's enough.
