BETTER AS DOCUMENTARY IMO.

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.

Eye of the Storm

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.

Wang Bojie and Xiang Jieru truly portrayed the struggles of a doctor's emotional journey.

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.
