    Nothing Spreads Like Fear Contagion


    Nama : M.Daffa
    Kelas : XI TKJ 1

    Contagion in Indonesian free translation means transmission. Judging from the title,

    I would have guessed, this film tells about the epidemic of a disease or a virus. The story

    begins with Beth Emhoff (Gwyneth Paltrow) who is sitting while drinking and eating peanuts

    at an airport. Beth looked unwell and coughed and looked like someone who had a cold or

    flu. I am always surprised by the way American directors describe people who are infected

    with a virus, surely the standard is that the person coughs and is like someone catching a

    cold. But, well never mind, maybe that's the most effective way for directors to describe

    people infected with the virus.

    Then there were short scenes about people in China, England and Japan who were

    as ill as a virus, like Beth Emhoff and finally died after having a convulsion and foaming at

    the mouth. These people are the beginning of the disastrous spread of the virus epidemic.

    Beth finally died and her son also died because he had been hugged by his mother shortly

    after Beth reached home. Beth's husband, Mitch Emhoff (Matt Damon) is immune to this

    virus, despite being quarantined in the hospital where his wife is being treated. Mitch's

    daughter, Jory Emhoff (Anna Jacoby-Heron), who lives in another city, is also immune and
    accompanies her father after her mother and sister die. This is where the adventures of Mitch

    and Jory begin to survive in a chaotic environment due to a virus epidemic.

    Meanwhile, the American government, through the CDC (Center for Disease Control)
    and the world health organization, WHO (World Health Organization), are racing against
    time
    to find this deadly virus vaccine. Starting from doctors, researchers, and virus experts work
    hand in hand to find the vaccine. Oh yes, this virus is in the deadly category and is thought to
    originate from viruses that exist in bats and pigs which then merge and form new strains. The
    method of transmission is direct contact with a person or through items that have been
    touched
    by a person with a virus. People who have been infected can die in less than 8 hours (if I'm
    not
    mistaken, understand, too many details throughout this film). The special agent of epidemic
    intelligence from the CDC who investigated the case was Dr. Erin Mears (Kate Winslet),
    head
    of the CDC team (Erin's boss) Dr. Ellis Cheever is played by Laurence Fishburne. In chaotic
    conditions like this, so that this film is more exciting, included Alan Krumwiede (Jude Law),
    a blogger who claimed to be a freelance journalist, to fish in murky waters. Alan, who turned
    out to be immune to the virus, in a video on his blog, pretending to be sick and taking
    forsythia
    (a drug that Alan said works for this virus) so he can recover. Alan also accused the United
    States government of having a conspiracy with pharmaceutical companies so that forsythia
    was
    restricted. Likewise, the making of this anti-virus vaccine is kept secret so that certain groups
    can benefit from this vaccine for the first time.

    In other parts of the world, namely China, a researcher from WHO, Dr. Leonora
    Orantes
    (Marion Cotillard) who is conducting an investigation into the spread of this virus, must face
    an unexpected situation. He was held hostage by the Chinese government with a ransom of
    this
    virus vaccine, because the most victims of this deadly virus are China. In this film, China is
    also accused of being the origin of the spread of the virus, because before getting sick and
    dying, the spreaders of the virus in Britain, America and Japan had a chance to travel to
    China.
    In general, this film is more complex than films with a viral epidemic, such as Outbreak
    (1995)
    or The Crazies (2011), for example. The strength of this film lies in the plot which makes
    people want to know more. Basic questions throughout the film such as, who spread the virus
    and is there really a conspiracy behind the spread of this virus, answered one by one. The
    various characters in this film are not explored strongly, perhaps so that viewers can think
    globally without having to know the background of all the main characters involved.

    Unlike The Crazies who position the main character as the only survivor in a virus

    epidemic, or researchers who become super heroes who race against time in the Outbreak,

    here we are invited to see the impact of the epidemic more thoroughly from various

    perspectives. The power of social media in the 21st century is very strong in influencing

    people's mindset, especially in chaotic conditions as depicted in this film. The proof, Alan

    Krumwiede in his blog has succeeded in influencing Americans to queue to get forsythia for

    his recovery, even though it is merely a hoax. The US government in this film also seems to

    be covering up about the epidemic of this virus and its vaccine, so that Alan is free to talk

    about spreading hoaxes for his personal benefit.
