[Wu Lei] “Cement Utopia: Doomsday”will be released in Taiwan on August 10. The plot describes Seoul, which has been in ruins due to a strong earthquake, and the residents in the “Palace Apartment”that is still standing tall. A sequence of plans and actions.
As soon as the handsome male god Park Seo Joon appeared on the stage, his face and body were covered with scars. From his balcony, Seoul was in ruins. The film does not investigate how the catastrophe happened. What is important is the contradictions and conflicts between people on an individual and group basis during the period of isolation and helplessness. The residents of this group of “Palace Apartments”have chosen intersections again and again, resulting in unexpected consequences.
To establish order in a group, the most important thing is a wise leader. In addition to having leadership skills, we must also integrate opinions from everyone. Although we all know that “the minority obeys the majority”, although it determines the direction of the group’s progress, if some individuals in the group have doubts or contradictions in their hearts, should they be obedient? Or give up on your own ideas?
Under this doomsday setting, all victims should be equal, but when the immediate situation may cause damage to personal interests, the thinking may become different. In the super cold weather, food and space are already limited, and you still generously accommodate others? But driving them away is tantamount to giving up their chances of survival, and the dilemma will continue to be staged in the film. There is no right or wrong choice for them, but different choices will have completely different consequences.
Park Bo Young and Park Seo Joon play a pair of newlyweds in the film, a combination of civil servants and nurses. The two people who were originally in a good relationship gradually showed different ideas under such special circumstances, which almost caused a rift between the husband and wife. And Li Bingxian became an iron-blooded leader under the stars, leading everyone to reorganize the environment and find and develop new materials. The seemingly competent leader, but when his unknown secret was revealed, the plot reversed.
In fact, the doomsday situation in “Concrete Utopia: Doomsday”also implies the relationship between people. Are those with vested interests willing to lend a helping hand, or what do you think when you suddenly become a caller? Break away from the group you are in, and you will have a different new world! Being a minority in one group does not mean that your thinking is wrong, because you may also be a majority in another group. The contradictions and selfishness of people’s hearts are the biggest highlights of “Concrete Utopia: Doomsday”. It will be released across Taiwan on August 10.
