Watching this movie in an extraordinary period has a different feeling, considering that this is a 2011 film, the feeling is even deeper. I would like to ask those students who have seen the film before 2020, is there a feeling that the film has finally become a reality? Of course I don't want to experience such a cruel reality, come on Wuhan! Come on, Hubei! Go China! The film is commendable for its panoramic depiction of all beings after the outbreak of the infectious disease, but the artistic level cannot be considered high. It is a bit wasteful to put in a bunch of big-name actors, and there is no need to burn money. The restoration of the disaster itself is shocking enough, you can even watch it as a science and education film: see where the virus came from; see how people are infected; see the condition of the infected person; see the performance of the family members who died suddenly ; Look at the reaction of the masses after the outbreak; Look at the government's response before and after the outbreak; Look at the attitude of the news media; Look at what the professionals do; Look at what the opinion leaders are doing. There are also many flaws in the film. Do the close contacts of the young Dr. Mills who come into contact with the patient not need to wear masks? This is a bit unreasonable, is it just to get infected and occupy a bed in the makeshift hospital? It is even more inexplicable that the official in Hong Kong kidnapped the WHO experts, in order to get the vaccine as soon as possible? But at that time, the vaccine was not even a word; was it to let experts go to his hometown to teach and let children learn standard English pronunciation? The creators of the film may have wanted to use this bridge to express the concept of Chinese clan family members and to please the Chinese audience, but it still looks awkward. It is not bad that the film does not discriminate against Chinese people because the virus originated in Hong Kong. ! On the contrary, it is worthy of affirmation to transplant the plots of snapping up Yinqiao and robbing supermarkets to the United States: originally, disaster is imminent, whoever backs down will suffer, social chaos is certain, and anarchy may appear anywhere, this is simply axiom. The rampant virus will let human beings know that upbringing, kindness, courtesy, etc. public order and good customs are worthless in the face of the test of survival, and survival is the only reason. Of course, dedication and sacrifice must still be affirmed. For example, scientists from the virus laboratory in the film and officials from the CDC who gave vaccines to the children of workers. There will always be these human flashes in the face of disasters. The root of hope for the destiny of human beings is to be moved and to cry.
