Abstract

Anti-type epidemic disaster movies are the revolution of disaster movies, breaking away from the previous barriers of genre and narrative modelization of the same theme movies; or weakening the scene of disaster to show emphasis on humanity; or using antiheroes instead of rescuers; or overturning the omniscient narrator and turning to personal restrictive perspectives. Through the change of narrative means and the subversion of convention al narrative ethics, exploring the division and incomprehension of human hearts under the disaster, and highlighting the dark zone of human relations under the threats of death to show the decline of human morality in abnormal situations. Throwing away the tenderness of family, love and friendship, breaking the package of collectivism, heroism, romanticism and idealism, this kind of movies give people a glimpse of the ugliness of humanity to reflect on the threat of human and nature, human and society, as well as human itself, which has a profound sense of warning and sense of distress.
