Kapanlagi.com - The COVID-19 pandemic or corona virus has caused widespread panic among people worldwide. This virus, which is said to originate from Wuhan, China, spreads rapidly from one victim to another.

This scenario reminds us of several films with similar themes. And one of the titles that is currently being widely compared by the public is CONTAGION, which was released in 2011.

This film, directed by Steven Soderbergh, stars a number of famous Hollywood actors and actresses, such as Gwyneth Paltrow (as Beth Emhoff), Matt Damon (Mitch Emhoff), and many others. The story is very similar to the current corona virus pandemic we are experiencing.

 

 

1. Plot of 'CONTAGION'

Berth Emhoff (Gwyneth) has just returned from a business trip to Hong Kong to her home in Minneapolis. Upon arriving home, she suddenly has seizures and faints. Her husband, Mitch Emhoff (Matt), then takes her to the hospital, but Berth's life cannot be saved.

After returning home, it is discovered that her stepson, Clark, also died with similar symptoms. Mitch is then isolated by the authorities, but it is found that he did not contract the mysterious disease. Meanwhile, the spread of this virus starts to escalate rapidly. To the point where the entire state of Chicago is put on lockdown. As a result, theft and looting become inevitable.

Health experts and researchers then begin to conduct a more in-depth investigation into this deadly contagious disease. There are even indications that the deadly virus is a biological weapon deliberately created by irresponsible individuals to create chaos.

2. Since it was called Maybe It Happened

CONTAGION tells the story of many characters, including victims and those who desperately try to find a vaccine. When this film was released, Laurie Garrett, a film consultant who wrote a book titled 'The Coming Plague', stated that the plot of this film is partly fantasy, partly reality, and entirely possible.

However, this film is just one example of many films related to virus pandemics like this. Most of them are fictional films, such as the spread of a virus that turns humans into zombie armies.

Have any KLovers watched the film CONTAGION or other similar pandemic-themed films?
