Portraits of all beings during the epidemic

When watching this movie, the domestic new crown pneumonia was at its most rapid, and all parts of the country were mobilized to implement closed management in each community. Watching the points marked on the map of confirmed cases were getting farther and farther from where you lived. close. At that time, watching this American movie was far less direct and shocking than South Korea's "Influenza". After all, the general mobilization for epidemic prevention and control in China is very strong, and many things are united. Everyone at least firmly believes in the government and obeys orders. Although the Chinese people are worried about the virus, the social order has not been chaotic.

At that time, when I was watching this movie, I felt that there were many group images, and the stories were constantly interspersed. At one time, I felt that the storytelling was not strong enough. However, when the domestic epidemic prevention and control achieved very good results and the domestic community infection was almost cut off, the world was overrun by the virus. More than one million people have been infected, there are not enough ventilators, and there are not enough medical staff. In developed countries, humanitarian options are also faced. However, in the news and popular discussions, politicians in certain countries are more messy accusing each other. The decree changes. Those images from this movie popped into my head recently:

Kate Winslet, played by Kate Winslet, is a cutting-edge CDC researcher who is kind, motivated, compassionate and responsible. After finding out that she was also infected in a hotel in Hong Kong, she still quarantined herself in an orderly manner. Later, she finally entered Jianlei's "fangcang cabin hospital", and with her last strength, she tried to pass a down jacket on her body to the patient next to her who felt cold, and died alone in a foreign country.

Lawrence Fishburne's researcher at the CDC has the tact of politicians facing the camera and the prudence and sympathy of ordinary medical researchers in their approach to life. Before the closure of the city, he disobeyed the order and called his wife to tell his wife to evacuate from the epidemic-stricken area before martial law began. I thought of all kinds of information about escaping from Wuhan in the hot search on Weibo before Wuhan closed the city on 1.23. In the movie, when he finally got the vaccine, he gave up his privilege and gave it to the son of the cleaner.

...

In this film, the depiction of human nature is not always single, their actions and choices are layered upon layers, maybe you always feel the light or darkness of human nature, maybe you feel why they are so contradictory. When we are in the global crisis brought about by this virus, many scenes in the movie come true, such as the Chinese in the United States began to stock up on guns. And if the vaccine really comes out, will it be like in the movie, and everyone needs to lottery?

Regarding the crisis and subsequent impact of this epidemic, there have been many official or unofficial big V analyses one after another. As little people who are not a speck of dust in this era, we only hope that the years will be peaceful, and the country will be safe.
