"Infectious Diseases": Regarding the epidemic, should we blame only bats?

I only dare to choose to watch this video when the epidemic situation has improved

As someone who has lived in the city where this outbreak broke out for many years

I feel more definitely that public opinion and disease should go hand in hand

Appropriate public opinion can even promote the effective control of the disease

the beginning of the epidemic

My friends forwarded the comments to me

And reminded "Whether it's true or false, bring a mask and go home early"

It's been almost three months now

I have witnessed history

Witnessed the epidemic from the outbreak period to the stable period

Witnessed the government's appeal in special times and the dedication of epidemic prevention staff

Infectious Diseases from the Perspective of Audiovisual Language

It's not really a good movie

It does not focus on the positions and ideas it wants to express

The development of infectious diseases is recorded as tensely as a running account

reference to antibodies reference to immunity

mentioned love, mentioned family

referred to the government referred to the masses

mentions disease, mentions speech

It's a pity when all the things you want to express come to you

but did not explain a simple thing clearly

So much so when I saw the hero cry because of his wife's death

I don't have the slightest wave in my heart

not cold blooded

It's the tense rhythm at the beginning of the film

become dull at the end

Characters can't stand without a foundation

It won't evoke the audience's empathy

Infectious diseases are not new to us

From ancient times to the present, there have been infectious diseases in almost every period

Ebola hits Africa

The Black Death ravaged Europe

The death toll far exceeds the imagination

The whole earth is a grave of corpses

How should people get along with nature?

The ending of the film is meaningful

The original habitat of bats has been destroyed by humans

So at some point a sick bat and a sick pig met

Causal loop

Countless people have paid a heavy price for this

    I’ve been looking forward to this movie for a long time. There are many big casts, and it didn’t disappoint me. Although the theme of this movie is a bit scattered, it is very real, very real. An infectious disease emerged from scratch and spread on a large scale. , Fear spreads with the spread of disease. However, human beings are always tenacious. They have found a way, saw hope, and their lives have returned to peace. If there is such a disease one day, I believe it will be the same as in the movie

    Three-star and a half. The light is used beautifully, and it is very interesting to take light and fill light. In many places, only light and shadow are used to emphasize the tension of the current situation. At the same time, it also exaggerates the speed of disease spread and the panic of the world. Unfortunately, the subject matter is rather old. , The ambiguous relationship between the government and vaccine manufacturers, the blockade of news, and the riots under high pressure are all commonplace. No matter how interesting the photography, no matter how well controlled the rhythm is, it will be diluted by the story itself. I hope Soderbergh will not end here. .

Contagion quotes

  • Dr. Ellis Cheever: We're working very hard to find out where this virus came from. To treat it and to vaccinate against it if we can. We don't know all of that yet, we just don't know. What we do know, is that in order to become sick you have to first come in contact with a sick person or something that they touched. In order to get scared, all you have to do is to come in contact with a rumor, or the television or the internet. I think what Mr. Krumwiede is uh... is spreading, is far more dangerous than the disease.

  • Dr. Ellis Cheever: You know where this comes from, shaking hands? It was a way of showing a stranger you weren't carrying a weapon in the old days. You offered your empty right hand to show that you meant no harm.
