Soon after her return from a business trip to Hong Kong, Beth Emhoff dies from what is a flu or some other type of infection. Her young son dies a few days later. Her husband Mitch however seems immune. Thus begins the spread of a deadly infection. For doctors and administrators at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, several days pass before anyone realizes the extent or gravity of this new infection. They must first identify the type of virus in question and then find a means of combating it, a process that will likely take several months. As the contagion spreads to millions of people worldwide, societal order begins to break down as people panic
been done loads of times before, but this is strangely riveting and you feel right in there with the infected folk…
It’s taken me ages to watch this film… partly because of the below average feedback I’ve received from just about everyone. Yet again I’m reminded to form my own opinion whenever necessary. I really enjoyed “Contagion”. It was simple, to the point and raised some interesting questions… once again our relationship to our planet and most importantly our food sources. Ignorance will be the downfall of our species. I also really enjoyed the raw emotion on display from Matt Damon, he actually had me tearing up there for a bit. Cool film!
