I happened to hear yesterday that Dana, who is a teaching assistant with me, is not doing homework assignments, but helping students in need as part-time. For example, her job in the next semester is to take a class with a blind student and tell him what he cannot perceive as a blind person, such as what is written on the blackboard, such as what action the teacher is doing now. Suddenly inexplicably moved, because at least here, physical disability does not mean that universities and higher education are closed to you, even if one of the most important senses - vision is deprived, it doesn't matter. I remembered a story I heard when I was a child, a distant relative who was born with amblyopia and could only see everything clearly by holding it a few centimeters in front of his eyes, and was almost rejected by the university he had worked so hard to get into. Of course, he went back to the relationship to give gifts, and finally reluctantly entered.
———————— Next is the movie review......——————————————————————————————
This film is a suspense film, whether it is from the plot or the shooting point of view, it is an out-and-out suspense film. Speaking of the story setting, it is not necessarily better than the previous Silent Hill. After all, one is deprived of hearing and the other is deprived of vision. Speaking of monsters, there is really nothing in this movie except a gust of wind and a bunch of leaves (might as well go to the opposite sex). Speaking of the end of the world, this theme has been filmed countless times by various directors. At the beginning of the film, the interaction of a bunch of strangers in a room, maybe The Walking Dead is better than it, because the TV series is longer, and the characters Character shaping can be more delicate. Don't say anything. He was upright at the beginning and then drove away the young couple who betrayed everyone. He was very selfish and didn't believe that anyone would die heroically in the end, plus two or three cannon fodder to advance the plot (the old lady was in charge of delivering the birth, that Store clerks are responsible for telling them to supply). Really, anyone who likes suspense films knows that it's all clique.
As for this interpretation of monsters, benevolent sees benevolence, and the wise see wisdom. The director said through the mouth of the store clerk who wrote the novel, this kind of interpretation of the apocalypse and monsters has existed since ancient times, and will continue to exist in the future. But when it comes to metaphors, in my opinion, the metaphor of desire is the ring in "The Lord of the Rings", and the metaphor of evil human nature is the mole in "The Journey of the Odd Bird". The metaphor of this movie is not very good either. . But I still think it's the best suspense movie I've seen this year.
Because of the climax of the last ten minutes.
I know that the heroine will definitely find Rick (why is it "Rick", does the director also watch The Walking Dead?), I know that her child will be fine (because the main theme of American movies, children represent hope), I thought she would Go to a community like Alexandria, with a leader and clear discipline. As a result, my tears could not stop from the appearance of that sign:
It turns out that this is not the apocalypse in the traditional sense at all, there is no need for you to live and die, and there is no such extreme distrust between people and people, and there is no mutual slaughter. are far from each other. God didn't want to punish human beings, and the devil didn't come and go, it's just a re-choice of nature. Those blind people who were once abandoned, despised, and considered inferior (extended to disabled people) now have the greatest advantage, and they have become the new generation by natural selection. This is what this film wants to express at a higher level than ordinary suspense films.
In fact, I found that many people have been indoctrinated too much, although in a sense, we live in an environment where the strong eat the weak, so we despise the weak, and we also need a simple way to distinguish the strong from the weak, Only in this way can we abandon the weak as a matter of course, so various online articles came into being: fighting to break through the sky, to move the universe by force. So in Game of Thrones, no one looks down on Sam Tally, just because he can't pick up a sword and fight. In reality, we despise all people with physical/mental disabilities, because they are the weak in the traditional sense and should be eliminated and cast aside.
So I thought, after watching this movie. While the odds of something as extreme as in the movie are slim, if you just think about it a little bit maybe blind/disabled people (gay, depressed, and numerous minorities) are not inferior to you, in some kind of natural selection When they come, they may be the hope of mankind, and the mission of this film will be achieved.
thanks for reading.
