Snake5555555555 10/22/20 2:38:21 PM #244:	49. Contagion (movie)(18.5 points) Nominated by: jcgamer107 (4/5 remaining) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4sYSyuuLk5g Importance: 6 Fear: 7.5 Snake: 5 #sorelatableguys Okay, so I wonder why this movie blew up so much over the past year? Contagion has oft been lauded as one of the most scientifically accurate looks at a pandemic as far as film goes. I mean I don't really know anything about that. I just thought this movie was okay at best. Soderbergh is an incredible director, and he uses mutli-link narrative to craft a truly ensemble experience, but watching this movie is very akin to watching the news, it is truly as technical as everyone says. Its clinical approach is frightening in its reality, it's easy to see why this movie got a rebirth this year. It's what I always say, watching horror is the best remedy for facing real-lfie equivalents. I wouldn't call this a very entertaining watch though, and paradoxically is what makes it as striking as it is. It's film unafraid to just say, "these are the facts: people are easily susceptible to mass hysteria, misinformation, and are just unhygienic in general. Here's what happens when all three of those traits goes into melting pot." Its coldness and detachment to human emotion is its greatest strength, and sure that won't make for a fun, thrilling watch, but more a sobering one, in a way it's beyond entertainment value and more a wake-up call we should've listened to way before 2020 ever rolled around. --- Bare feet on the tile with my head up in the clouds https://imgur.com/1e1e70S <cite>Snake5555555555 posted [p:946160993] in THE Snake ...
