This 2011 big cast infectious disease disaster movie is about an American who was on a business trip in Hong Kong and was entertained by a dinner party. After that, he won the bid and brought the infectious disease back to spread. I remember it as a multi-line film (director Steve Soundberg is especially good at this kind of blockbuster where multiple characters bring into the story from all sides, and eventually come together to become the main axis).
I remember at banner design least three lines: The first line was my favorite researcher played by Kate Winslet, who pursued it all the way and sacrificed himself in the end. The second line is how scientists from the World Health Organization are working hard to find an antidote . The third line includes journalists who are chasing after them, who think there is a conspiracy, and their own stories of the family's victimized father.
The film portrays the World Health Organization as being quite powerful, dedicated to training many scientists and pathologists who are leading the way and are desperately trying to develop an antidote. I don't know the WHO today, but after seeing the performance of the rabble on the WHO table in the past few months, I feel that it is simply bureaucratic. They sit in a beautiful hall all day long. You talk about it and I talk about it. It's all superficial skills and public relations media.
