Eye of the Storm

Movies with issues like this should have more diverse viewpoints. For the retrospective events that reproduce history, only the mentality of medical staff is discussed. I don't know what reflection this film can bring to the audience. Although the actors performed very well, the photography and sound effects were too aggressive, and I felt uncomfortable many times during the viewing process. It can only be said that the director avoided the connotation that should be discussed. In order to avoid being scolded and being involved in political issues, he made this film useless except for reviewing history, which was quite a sadness.

Glad I found this movie on Netflix. It's a nice calming, soothing movie with straight to the point scenes. The story is simple but it engages you very well. The theme of the movie is intense but at the same time calming and soothing. Very well made movie. The casting has been done in such a way that the characters match themselves in a very suitable way. The world has changed after the Pandemic. We people of this earth need to change and have basic sense among ourselves to protect our earth and the oceans.

Coming back to the movie, special appreciation to the director and the entire crew for a well made movie.

When I watched this film, I didn't see the trailer or read the movie description. I went in with the expectation that it might be a current affairs discussion related to COVID-19. To my surprise, the moment I saw the characters using old-style mobile phones, I knew it was going to be a story about the tragic events at a Taiwanese hospital during the SARS outbreak over a decade ago.

Honestly, a single movie can't cover everything, and it can't delve into the depth and poignancy of each individual story the way a short series like 'Hoping' did. 'Eye of the Storm' seems to focus more on the discussion of responsibility. Career choices and job positions are individual decisions and perceptions, but society relies on the functioning of many roles. So, from the beginning, Wang Bojie's portrayal of Dr. Xia becomes the central axis of the entire film. The ending also echoes the sacrifices made by this central character.

I recommend watching this film and appreciating the contributions of the many real-life heroes in our society.

This film mimics the confusing emotions everyone around the world experienced in the early days pf the covid-19 pandemic. The purpose of this film was to show the sacrifices healthcare workers as part of their job so it would've been better served as a documentary.

Synopsis: A deadly virus outbreak puts a hospital in total lockdown. Various people trapped in the crisis must confront a deluge of agonizing choices.

Eye of the Storm tells the emotional effect that an infectious disease can have on the ones who are at the forefront of the battle. I can see how the film tries to portray different personalities and how they each sacrifice for the greater good, but it just feels flat. It tries to paint this canvass with all these different colors but nothing really jumps out. There is also not a whole lot of story going on here, and it doesn't have a satisfactory closure at the end. Audience is thrown around in each character's emotional struggle during the pandemic but it is hard to latch onto anyone specifically.
