The best director ever

Chapter 484 Doomsday
"My father was a farmer, and pretty much everyone was a farmer back then, although... he wasn't in the first place."

After the four characters "Interstellar" flashed across the screen, an old lady suddenly appeared.

A documentary-like memory blurted out from her mouth.

The audience watched this scene, not too surprised.Because the beginning of "The Truman Show" was very similar to this.

Immediately afterwards, the picture appeared in the sky, and Matthew (Andy Lau) was flying a plane in the sky.

But the accident happened immediately, and the plane crashed a moment later.And just before the fall, the screen suddenly flashed, and Matthew jumped up from the bed.

It turned out that this was just a nightmare.

The audience breathed a sigh of relief, it would be fun if the protagonist GG as soon as he came out.

But the scene that made everyone fearful appeared again.

"The wheat is all dead, all of them have died of disease, and there are only a few acres of corn left. And...the sky is full of dust."

"We can only tie a piece of cloth around the nose and mouth so that we don't suck more dust into the body."

"When setting the table, we always have to put the plates away, no matter what, we have to put them together."

"."

In several narrations, the cruelty of the last days was also shown to the audience on the big screen.

It turned out that behind this endless cornfield was a sky full of sandstorms.

It turns out that countless plants have become extinct, and a large number of human beings have died.

It turns out that the end of the world has already come to the earth.

Human beings are facing a situation of life and death.

The beginning of the film does not show too many end-time scenes, no tsunami, no landslides, no comets hitting the earth, and no zombies.

Only desolation, only waking up to dusty furniture every morning, only gray skies.

only sand
With the sad background music, a desolate doomsday world is presented in the hearts of the audience.

The audience couldn't describe this desolate feeling. It was obviously not as thrilling as the Titanic hitting the iceberg, but they still felt a chill in their hearts.

Is this the end of the world in Daxian's eyes?
What a desolation!
Life in the last days continues.

The protagonist's family of four also appeared in the audience's field of vision.Matthew (Liu Dehua), his daughter Ma Murphy (Liu Xianghui), his son Ma Yu (Liu Ran), and his father-in-law.

Matthew's wife had already died, and only a few people remained.

And the current identity of the protagonist is a farmer, a farmer who grows corn.

The protagonist's family lives like this, except that Murphy often complains to Matthew that there are ghosts in the study.

Because the things on the bookshelf, some books, decorations and so on, always fell to the ground inexplicably, which puzzled my clever daughter.

The audience was also very puzzled, but no one thought too much, thinking that the books were blown down by the wind, or slipped down inadvertently.

On this day, Matthew drove his daughter and son to school, but on the way, the car had a flat tire unfortunately.

The son complained: "Murphy's Law."

As a result, little Murphy was upset for a while.

Murphy's Law states that as long as there is a chance, bad things will happen.The son complained a little because of the unfortunate tire blowout of the car.

After getting out of the car, Murphy asked Dad why he gave himself such a strange name.

Matthew calmly explained all this to his daughter.

It's just that Murphy's Law is a bit mysterious, and the audience was stunned when they heard it, with a few big question marks popping up in their heads.Some people who know Murphy's Law are also a little puzzled.

"Murphy's Law.???"

"What the hell? So the name has such a meaning."

"Murphy, why did Huazai choose such a name for her daughter?"

Before the audience could figure it out, suddenly, a drone flew across the sky.Seeing this, Matthew hurriedly greeted his son and daughter to get in the car. He didn't even care about repairing the tires, and rushed towards the plane in a hurry.

"The drone of the Indian Air Force, its solar cells can power the entire farm!"

On the way, Matthew explained excitedly.

Immediately, he took out the computer and signal jammer from the back seat of the car, aimed at the drone, and prepared to take it down.

After the drone landed on the farm, the son asked, "How long do you think it's been flying?"

"The control centers in Delhi and Huaxia were closed ten years ago."

"In other words, it has been flying for at least ten years!"

Matthew replied.

Hearing this, the audience was surprised.

Delhi is the capital of India. If this is the case, wouldn't the air military power of India and China have been wiped out ten years ago?

There is no positive description of the cruelty of the doomsday. Just a drone that has been flying for ten years makes the hearts of the audience dead silent.

This doomsday is really terrifying.

Later, when Matthew finished tossing the drone and sent his daughter to school, the conversation between him and the teacher made the audience sigh at the end of the world.

Because of poor grades, Matthew's son could not go to college and could only become a farmer.In other words, the world no longer has so many resources for students to go to college.

"Now we don't need engineers. What we lack is not TV and airplanes. What we lack is food. The world needs farmers, good farmers like you, and Ma Yu."

Ha ha, what a euphemistic reason.

In today's society, even if you can't go to college, you can still do all kinds of jobs. 360 lines, every line will be the champion.

But in the last days, the farmer has become the most important line in the 360 ​​lines.

Siege lions and programmers are useless occupations, let alone artistic occupations such as piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting.

Human beings in the last days are not in the mood to appreciate these things.

Fill your stomach first.

This is what the male teacher said to Matthew, and it is also a true portrayal of the end of the world.

Another female teacher reported Murphy's situation to Matthew.She thought Murphy was very smart, but she deliberately spread those "nothing" facts.

What fact?
Murphy read the textbooks decades ago and believed that humans had landed on the moon, but the teacher who grew up in the last days did not think so.

"The Apollo program was a sham, it was just to bankrupt the Soviet Union," she said.

Matthew was stunned for a long time before he said, "You don't believe that humans have been to the moon?"

The female teacher shrugged: "I believe that is very shrewd political propaganda, which made the Soviet Union waste resources on useless machines and rockets, which led to their bankruptcy. If we don't want to repeat the waste and excessive consumption of the [-]th century If you don’t make mistakes, you must teach children to know this planet, not to think about leaving it.”

Matthew's face sank all of a sudden.

Ugly.

The faces of the audience were not very good-looking either.

In the last days, don't humans believe that they have been to the moon?

Have rockets become useless machines?

The deeds of those great men in the past were all maliciously erased?

Just to keep humans on Earth to die?

For some reason, the audience felt a little heavy.

This doomsday is not only the destruction of the earth's environment, but also human culture and human beliefs.

This is the end of human culture!
When did science become worthless?
Just like when Matthew returned home afterwards, he confided to his father-in-law: "We humans seem to have forgotten who we are. We are explorers, pioneers, not guardians!"

The old man sighed: "When I was young, it felt as if new things came out every day, some gadgets, some new concepts, and so on. Every day was like Chinese New Year. But that is 70 billion people, now... think about it. horrible."

Human beings are about to perish, just like little insects lingering in the desert, facing the danger of being submerged by wind and sand at any time.

Finally, Matthew said: "We used to look up at the vast starry sky and think about our own existence, but now we can only think about how to survive the sandstorm."

This is the end of the world!

Not only destroying the environment, not only destroying human beings, but also destroying human culture and the last days of human belief!

Then one day, the sandstorm struck again.

On the big screen, the sky filled with yellow sand filled the entire small village.The audience can only see a vast expanse of yellow, and nothing else.

When Matthew and others returned home against the wind and sand, Murphy suddenly remembered that the window of the upstairs study room had not been closed.When Matthew came to the study, the dust had already blown in here, and the whole room was a misty yellow.

And at this moment, an accident happened.

When the sand slowly fell from the air, it seemed to follow a certain pattern, and it fell on the floor to form parallel lines one after another, each line made of sand.

These lines are thick and thin, arranged neatly.It was as if an invisible hand was controlling it.

The audience was surprised, what the hell is this?Can the sand fall like this?
Murphy said, "It's a ghost!" She thought of the books that had fallen from the shelf for no reason.

The next day, Matthew, who had been studying in the study all night, said to Murphy, "It's not a ghost, it's gravity!"

The audience was also taken aback, gravity?

Did gravity tug on the sand, creating these strips?

Later, after studying it again, Matthew said: "This is not Morse code, it is binary, the thick one is 1, and the thin one is 0."

"This is a coordinate!"

Seeing this, the audience exploded a little.

"Excellent, get a coordinate through the sand?"

"It's kind of weird."

"Can anyone tell me how those sands were formed?"

The audience was confused, the sand was inexplicably combined into a string of binary numbers, and then turned into a coordinate.This thing is really weird no matter how you look at it.

However, Matthew only gave an explanation of gravity, and there was no further explanation.

Enduring curiosity, the audience followed Matthew to the coordinates of that location.
