here is a part of The Film industry is booming after the outbreak of the Covid-19 - movies, the with infections, particularly at the global level.

documentary series such as pandemic: How To Prevent a outbreak on Netflix, and films such as Steven Soderbergh were the contagion of 2011 unprecedented streaming numbers to try to understand as an audience, Current Events .

With an ensemble A-list cast including Gwyneth Paltrow , Kate Winslet , Matt Damon , Laurence Fishburne , Jude Law and Marion Cotillard , contagion documents the spread of a Virus That originated in Asia and the causes of the global lockdown. But his sober tone of the compared to the bombast of the classic "disaster" movie, and it was with the input of medical experts at Columbia University .

"I didn't said 200 people show drop dead at the same Time In a scene," Director Steven Soderbergh in The Time of the release of The Film .

"as soon as you feel it, like A Movie , you give The Audience the opportunity to step away from him, and put a barrier between you and what you see - and we don't want to do That . "

in contagion, you can be a gold standard in terms of movie-Realism - still, historically, a film subculture is historically rooted in The Fear of infection and Disease .

The "monster" Film, part of the larger horror genre has acquired new relevance. It is The Fear of being bitten and infected with a contagion, is irreversible.

"If you take a look at werewolf movies, such as 1981's An American werewolf in London, The Fear That something Will bite you and you Will give the infection to Someone Else ," says BBC-culture-film-critic Nicholas Barber .

"Then you have vampire movies, the even more closely with illness and Disease . In the 1922 Dracula adaptation Nosferatu, there is a scene where the rats pour out of a coffin, and people begin to die in The Village and the blame of The Plague . Vampire movies are really about infection and Pest and Disease . "

The Audience watching zombie films like Danny Boyle 's 28 Days later, or Marc Forster 's 2013-epic World War Z," with Brad Pitt , you might find resonance in a new way.

In a scene at the beginning of 28 Days later, actor Cillian Murphy empty London is a man, silent, after ravaged by a mysterious, incurable Virus

"Zombies are used to this shambling, again, dead bodies revived, staggered by cemeteries, and they tended to comment on consumption and Social Unrest ," explains Barber.

"really, 2002 amended 28 Days Later. In this, no longer are the zombies are actually as 'infected', you Will be reanimation of corpses, they are people who have been infected by a Virus .

"World War Z", on The Other hand, is really about globalization, and how these infections not only about a city, the spread in The World , as we see now. This was the zombie movie That covered it, and That is what is so unprecedented, what We Are Seeing now. "

- The loneliness of isolation after the infection has also been covered by Hollywood , the Most famous of 2007, I Am legend, directed by The Hunger Games Francis Lawrence and starring Will Smith .

An adaptation of the 1954 novel by Richard Matheson , Will Smith seems to be the only non-infected survivors in New York City after a Virus , the originally a new cure for cancer, die a billion people and provides almost all of The Other in cannibalistic mutants called the dark seekers.

Perhaps the Most terrible and fantastic in The Film , was the human relationship with our susceptibility to viruses, as a Species , create.

Nevertheless , the idea of the victory of the human Spirit - can defeat and outsmart even a deadly Virus has been seen Most recently in the year 2016 93 Days , a film directed by Steve Gukas and Danny Glover . It was based on a True Story of how a dedicated medical team managed to prevent an Ebola outbreak contained in Nigeria, even if it meant her own life.

the idea of human triumph against seemingly is likely to be a recurring theme in The Films , the screenwriters' self-isolation.

"There's a lot of coming-to inspire out of the coronavirus countless rotary to come to books," says Nigel M Smith, movies editor for People magazine.

"If you look at What Happened after 9/11, it was only a year or so, when Hollywood began to make movies from these stories. The industry has a tendency to do things like That . "

But maybe it's just as well That a sequel to World War Z was canceled Last Year . Would The Public pay to watch, a pandemic, which is full of infected zombies, after living through The Time of the Coronavirus?
