"Fluency"
2013.08.14
Under the outbreak of the new coronavirus, everyone has received a message from the state: wash your hands frequently, wear a mask, stay at home, and don't go out. In addition to eating, sleeping, and playing with mobile phones every day, I watch TV with my parents a lot. Recently, I just finished watching a Korean disaster film "Influenza" about the flu epidemic, and I felt a lot.
①
The movie is roughly about a group of Southeast Asian smugglers who came to South Korea because they were locked in an airtight container for a long time, and the avian influenza virus carried by one person fermented in a closed space, and almost all the smugglers died. A few days later, the container arrived in a district in southern South Korea, where only one survivor with his antibodies survived. As everyone knows, this person still carries the deadly swine flu virus, and in just one day, the virus quickly spread to all corners of the city. Many people are unwittingly infected, and the shadow of death is channelled to all those around them.
Movies come from life, and are higher than life.
Disaster movies are often a reflection on modern civilization. The unexpected arrival of the virus has completely exposed the truth of the incomparable fragility of human beings. In the movie, what is more terrible than disaster is human nature. After 48 hours without an antidote, he died in isolation and retreat, and in fact he was thrown into a crematorium and burned. It is sad that patients who still have a glimmer of breath have directly lost the right to decide their own fate. But the life of the grass will not exist in China, China will not give up anyone who can be treated, the lockdown is not to give up, but to try its best to treat and not let the virus continue to spread and infect.

The three problems in the film, if replaced by you, would be:
(1) Locking down the supermarket, will you lose your mind and rush to grab food?
(2) Do you find out that your loved one is infected, do you plan to deceive or expose it?
(3) If you are the top decision-maker, do you abandon the people or stick to the last minute?
The riots caused by panic are unpredictable, like a flock of beasts scurrying out in a frenzy. Yes, I've seen people who are mean and ignorant, who refuse to wear masks, who cough incessantly at takeout boxes, who rub saliva on elevator buttons. But I also saw some glowing people, who threw away a box of masks and ran, were asked where they were from, and answered Chinese loudly; they guarded at the cold and windy toll booth, eating instant noodles with red noses drifting into the bowl; they were low-income people and sanitation workers, saving their meager savings and sending them to the police station, saying that they would contribute to the country ...
The complexity of human nature, the idea of good and evil in one step. In the face of the great right and wrong, or the original form is exposed, or stand up. Different people have different human natures, some emit a foul smell, and some shine brightly.
Selfishness, perhaps everybody. The reason why he is indifferent is because he has not touched his own interests and life. When the heroine in the play is a doctor, she chooses to ignore the innocent people in isolation, but when her daughter is infected, she hides the truth, and then desperately looks for a cure. In reality, it is like the advent of the new crown, which leads to an extreme shortage of masks, like precious materials testing human nature. I've seen people take five masks from the elderly in the family, and give them all to their children, and leave none for the elderly. This is the so-called relatives, the family affection found with a microscope under the epidemic. Born as a human being, family affection has become a kind of bondage. And warm and hurtful.

At the end of the film, everyone is desperately trying to escape from the quarantine area. I was touched by the little girl, she didn't know what was going on in this country, she must have been so scared that she couldn't do it, she still opened her arms to block the gun for her mother. I just feel like she's the only little white angel in the movie who illuminates the country. If it weren't for the kindness at the beginning, the survivor was given a loaf of bread, and there would be no survivors who donated blood and made serum for her. Good people have saved others and themselves.
It is said that the aura of the protagonist of this movie is too heavy, but I understand it. Who hasn't thought that I would become that savior, and I have also thought that I could save this danger from fire and water, and the virus will consciously dissipate every time I reach it. When faced with life and death, you don't have time to think about anything, just instinct or nothing else. In the face of disaster, we have no special abilities, and those 'retrogrades' are the heroes of mortals.
A flu movie seven years ago is very similar to us who are hiding at home today and can't go out. It is an awakening, but also an awakening. With this leisure, humanity must reflect and reflect again.
