Today I will recommend a different kind of science fiction film to you, although it is the end of the world,
There is no shock of volcanic eruptions, and there is no horror of zombies coming,
But in the "people" excavated the true meaning of "love" -
"Perfect Feeling"
"I have always looked for hope in despair, beauty in ugliness.
Today, I am determined to push myself to the brink of emotional endurance. ”
Susan is an expert in the study of infectious diseases,
One day she was asked to go to the hospital with her superiors to learn about a new type of disease.
The patient first loses control of emotion, and then the sense of smell slowly decreases until it disappears completely.
Of course, this is not the first case, and there have been reports of such conditions in various countries in the world.
But people who get this disease do not have any contact or association with each other,
Maybe it's the collective outbreak of the virus that has been hidden for many years.
Quietly, overnight many people could no longer smell anything.
Susan's team began studying the condition, but made no progress.
On the other side, a chef named Mike is busy in the restaurant.
When the intern came over with a fish and asked how to tell if it was fresh, he hesitated and told the student to look at the fish's eye.
Yes, he also lost his sense of smell.
Shadows gradually enveloped the city, and Mike did not choose to disclose his illness.
Smoking can only be relied upon during breaks to alleviate this unknown emotion.
On this day, he forgot to bring a cigarette but happened to meet Su Shan, who was standing by the window smoking.
Borrow cigarettes, borrow fire.
Two lonely hearts just like that, they were close together.
When they met again, Susan had just returned from the lab, and her research still had no results.
Mike invited her to the restaurant for dinner, but after only one sip, Susan began to cry.
Yes, she also contracted the disease.
Smell and taste are most closely related, losing one and disappearing with the other.
The dairy farmer is milking, the cleaner is sweeping the floor, and Mike is still cooking.
In the operation room, everyone works hard to let the guests taste the taste,
They desperately added salt, sugar, and acid to the dish, but it didn't work.
It was only then that people discovered that taste was so important to people's emotions.
When they are lost, people's memories of the past are completely cut off.
Losing your sense of smell and taste is just the beginning.
Manic, crazy...
One by one, the people around them fell.
Then there's uncontrollable hunger.
Like beasts, people grabbed anything around them that could be stuffed into their mouths.
Flowers, lipstick, olive oil...
Some even ate live animals.
Humans have behaved no differently than zombies.
The director focuses all his attention on the human individual.
At first it was just smell, then taste, then hearing...
Little by little, step by step, people's perception of the world gradually faded.
But life goes on.
Even if the whole world is gone, love is still there.
The day Susan loses her sense of smell, she can hold Mike and cry.
The day Susan lost her sense of taste, Mike greeted her and hugged her.
Love didn't change anything, but it gave them the courage to continue to live.
Until humanity lost its sense of hearing, the world fell silent.
From the beginning of the film's protagonist losing his hearing, the film begins to enter the whole stage of silence.
There was not a single line of dialogue for nearly 30 minutes.
This sense of oppression also made the audience deeply experience the feeling of being deaf.
Of all the senses, there is only the last one left, the vision.
Life goes on.
Even if they can no longer listen to the words across the table, even if they can no longer taste the difference between red wine and potion.
Two people find each other at the last moment,
They walk toward each other, and their vision is gradually blurred, and their vision is slowly lost.
The "perfect feeling" mentioned in the title is not before the disease occurs, but the perfect feeling of the senses that are still full of love after they have all been lost.
The heroine Eva Green and the male protagonist Ivan McGregor staged a lot of passion plays.
Especially in the setting of the disappearance of the senses, the director deliberately amplified, but it led to the film being banned.
But putting aside this point, this film can beat a number of science fiction films that are known as big investments in terms of story setting.
For every sense lost, the other senses are more present.
So only when the world becomes single, we will feel the inner feeling and enjoy the sense of interdependence.
If you give too much, you will be sad to take it back, so cherish the person in front of you and enjoy every moment!
