Life has spoiled this movie

What did each of us lose in the face of disaster?

"We lost not only the spring, but also the summer, 144 days that were gone forever."

This is the answer this movie gave me.

"Life will gradually return to normal," Dad reassured in the movie.

We all think so too.

I believe everything will be back on track soon and know that staying home is my responsibility. But I still can't help but think about the hot pot I eat with my friends who can only see each year during the Spring Festival, the candles that I blew out on the carefully selected cakes on my birthday, and the photos I took after dressing up on my phone. of lost.

After watching the whole film, it is more like watching a documentary than watching a movie. In addition to the truth of the plot, the filming ideas and techniques of multiple lines to express the appearance of all beings under the disaster are also quite documentary.

Because of the numerous characters and complex clues, the characters are divided into four categories: businessmen, government personnel, scientific researchers and ordinary people.

There are businessmen who are opportunistic and make a fortune in panic, and there are businessmen who help with all their money. There are officials who deceive the top and the bottom, and regard human life as a must, and there are officials who go to the front line and are selfless and selfless. There are stubborn and unrepentant researchers who create something out of nothing, and there are researchers who are willing to use themselves as experimental subjects to verify the effectiveness of vaccines. There are ordinary people who loot supplies and spread rumors and cause trouble, and there are ordinary people who exercise rational restraint and work hard to live.

This is the appearance of beings.

In fact, everyone's role in a disaster is not static.

Government workers assisting in the investigation into the origin of the virus were asked, "Are your family members there?"

"My mom has symptoms. I went to the tape."

At this time, he was just a helpless citizen facing the virus. He also used the same method of believing online rumors to tell himself that there was still a glimmer of hope.

Just like saying "forsythia is useful", it must have a much stronger spread than saying "forsythia is useless".

In anxiety and panic, people always want to do something to make themselves less incompetent and helpless.

My mother's unit has a series of traditional Chinese medicine products, and the formula is not far from Shuanghuanglian. Their units started brainstorming how to promote their own products when everyone was looting Shuanghuanglian. Even if they don't believe Shuanghuanglian at all, they won't use their own products. At that time, they were businessmen who wanted to make a fortune in panic, but at the same time, wasn't she an ordinary citizen who was anxious about not being able to buy masks?

This is the disaster, no matter who you are, you have lost the winter that is gone forever.

None of us will be spared.

Contagion quotes

  • 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.

  • Dr. Ellis Cheever: But right now, our best defense has been social distancing. No hand-shaking, staying home when you're sick washing your hands frequently.
