    his/her review : The movie portraits human's instinct behaviors in a catastrophe: some are disturbing; others are appreciated. The most strinking aspect in the movie, in my opinion, is the women's goodness: when it comes to battles for survival, women, despite their physical weakness in nature, always sacrifice themselves to protect their beloved men while men tend to show selfishness. This is proved by the disturbing rape scene which does not degrade women at all but makes us embrace/love them even more. If you have an open mind and look for a meaningful movie, this movie is definitely for you.
