No one has to be a hero. Interestingly, the neutral review above describes exactly what the creators wanted to say, but the assessment of the film is subjectively low, since the author wanted it to be different, and the film does not have to be pleasant to you, art in principle should not play in one key, but more touch problems and make you think. For happy endings, contact the department of drama.
The movie “The Only One” in 2019 prepares us for a real epidemic and shows that you can eventually climb the wall from isolation. But by the way, the main character is still not the last woman on Earth, but rather one of the last in the natural habitat, at large, where a live woman announced a reward of $ 2 million. But she's definitely the only one her husband would do anything to keep her alive.
However, by the four hundredth day of isolation, the nerves are gone, and all such surviving women from the secret chat gradually die, leaving the main character alone with her husband. The question arises before her: continue to exist as the last laboratory mouse and wait for its fate, or take life into your own hands and live the last days as you always wanted - go to nature and see some attractions for the first and last time in your life.
The government, though civilized in the West, has traditionally been shown to be helpless and impotent in resolving the crisis, and the first thing it does is slide into an anarchist concentration camp. Doesn't that show a real level of trust in him in general? Well, it is, a sideline, which is generally not very detailed in the film. The successes in the fight against the epidemic of a certain Corporation, which conducts trials on survivors of women, is not shown at all. The only thing that is clear is that there is no official help to wait for.
Yes, in a sense it turns out that all the efforts of the husband are in vain, because the heroine so easily crosses it all with her infantile act. But we must take it this way - she has already been brought to the verge of patience and life is no longer sweet to her, ready to give everything for the sake of her last breath of freedom. We are sure that we would be wiser in its place and could survive for decades in a sterile room. For some, it may be a real paradise. It is even strange that with all the surrounding devastation, which came literally in a year, electricity, television, communications remained.
For those who like this movie, I would recommend watching a very similar post-cove Pink Cloud (2021). In that film, the experience of different people in an attempt to overcome another attack is much more extensive. There is a conditional isolation time of about 5-6 years.
