The difference between the movie "Contagion (2011)" and the reality of Covid-19, is the deaths occurred quicker in the movie and easier to trace the "R Naught" (R0=Br). So it's relatable. In our time of Covid-19, it is slower and not as deadly. So, just as men didn't believe microscopic germs in the past can kill you or make you sick, decades ago.... history has taught us nothing.
For those that remember the release of this film. I'm currently in Australia and at the time I was attending university. At Melbourne CBD they had people in full hazmat suits handing out disinfectant wipes when people got off the train. That was 8 years ago and it was a really cool marketing strategy to get people excited for the film. Now theyre doing the exact same thing only its now the real deal. Theyre standing exactly the same station and spot handing wipes and washing down train carriages. I'm just waiting for someone to shake me awake.

It was still realistic enough that I find it the most terrifying thrillers I've seen. Always loved it since its release and in a way, I'm glad it's now getting the appreciation it deserved. Anyway, thanks for the vid.
I honestly didn't understand why it wasn't talked about more when it came out. Granted, I've always been a sucker for outbreak movies(zombies, real life stuff, you name it) but I always thought Contagion was fantastic, and truly terrifying. Thanks for watching!
I saw Contagion for the first time last year during my "best of the decade" roundup as I was minesweeping random well-reviewed movies I missed when they came out. I'm glad that through this video I could refresh my memory on the key bits without having to rewatch the entire movie again haha. Really cool to see your montage of all the accurate components, specifically the way the people with power/privilege use that knowledge for themselves, completely forgot about that! I could honestly watch an entire series of short videos on each of the ways something in Contagion came true with COVID-19. Great video, thanks for persevering through difficult times!
Even without the context of COVID-19 this is still a great movie to watch, easily one of Soderberg's best. Another fantastic job with the background work on the film and the topic as per usual, as someone who studies this type of stuff I can say you did a bang-up job.
While there's still a few of Soderberg's movies that I haven't seen, I honestly have yet to see one that I didn't thoroughly enjoy, and Contagion is near the top for sure. Thank you so much for saying so!
It's still really funny to me that how a film like this that didn't even get that much attention when it was released is finally starting to get much more attention recently bcoz of time we are living in right now. But nevertheless, I am glad that it is getting some love. 😅
I always thought this was a really great thriller, a terrific ensemble piece that gives you every viewpoint you could want for a situation like this to be portrayed in a movie. Definitely the perfect time to revisit it though xD
@@wednesdaymess712 Nah I wasn't talking about people like you and me who liked it even when it was released. I was talking about people who only recently watched cause of our current global situation. 😅
In this film society completely shuts down and fast. People are looting and not going into work. Trash isn’t being picked up. Electricity shut down. Only getting food from the government. We can see right now that was an unrealistic prediction.
So I think everything in the film is plausible, but definitely not necessarily a prediction of what we're facing. The virus in this movie is a lot more serious than COVID-19, and honestly that was kind of the point of the video for me was to show how different these situations are, while still encouraging people to take everything seriously.
I've been playing the phone app plague inc. For those who dont know you play a character of a bacteria or virus and try to eliminate life on earth. From what I've learned is if the rate of lethality is greater than the rate of transmission then you have a low chance of spreading it to other countries and eliminating the world. In the movie, the rate of lethality was too high to have spread to that many people. The app use to be free but apparently they are charging 99c to profit off of the interests during this crisis? I'm just guessing.
I remember watching this in health class being so fearful of viruses and germs and to think its happening now is making me even more scared lol hahaha ahhhhh...
Paper Cat No we’re not. The movie they were talking about like a 25% fatality rate, the current one is like 1.5 and likely actually far lower then that
holloywood love these film they like making film come to life. Now did bill gate know before how did obama know before did they watch the movie or have inside knowledge thats the question
How is it unethical? It's just a number that represents the data, and it's an important number to know. It will fluctuate but we should still be paying attention to it.
@@Ivanmaradonaaa The mortality rate of the known cases. There is enough knowledge to make an estimation. The testing-to-case ratio is different in Italy, therefore the number is influenced by that. When you mainly test people who are severely ill, you'll get a higher mortality rate then when doing widespread testing. There is much more elaborate data from South Korea, which acted phenomenally quick and therefore could test a lot more people, producing more accurate numbers. Not sure how ethics play into that, as this is mainly a statistical issue. An ethical issue is what the orange moron is doing right now in holding that number against economic expectations and essentially sacrificing those 2% for some imagined greater good.
Agreed! We should call it the carnivore virus. Not only are these diseases being created in the meat markets, but the entire meat industry is the number one contributor to global warming (surpassing fossil fuel). The destruction of the environment will result in the creation and spreading of increasingly dangerous pathogens. My dad and step-mom are always going on about how they want to stop global warming but refuse to even reduce the amount of meat they consume let alone go full vegetarian or vegan. People are such slaves to their taste buds, they are willing to risk death at the individual level (heart disease) or throughout society (pandemics) just because they think animals are delicious. It is fucking ridiculous!
True. Though I'm a firm believer that we can find a happy medium. I don't think the meat industry is going anywhere, but we can manage it in a way where these things don't happen.

honestly the least realistic thing about this movie is how many people were able to find masks and gloves.
And no one hoarded toilet paper.
And hand sanitizer
And Jude Law wearing a full plastic covering with oxygen tank on his back just for walking around daily.
Watching in 2023..it was longer than months but hopefully we are on the right track now
I've come from the one year in the future to tell you:
It's still going on
We watched this in biology class in high school. I definitely need to give it a replay.

This made me wanna have a breakdown LOL
Stay healthy and keep rocking it. Thanks for the new video Film Radar.
You do the same! And thank you for watching :)
I mean damn if Hollywood didn't predict this, down to it starting in China.
Predictive programming
Of course, if it fits the agenda you better bet your money its coming out of pedowood.

I don't think our pandemic is over yet bro.

The most relevant video ever created 😂
Hope you're taking care of yourself and thanks for the video 💙
Sorry I'm late to the video, but lovely analysis and very timely as well. Keep it up!
Thank you for this video, I saw the movie the last week :)
Thanks for watching! I hope you enjoyed it!
The movie in greece was 1 day ago
Amazing as always! Keep it up!
Thanks so much dude!
4 years later (nearly 5), we got through it. The virus still exists, but now we have vaccines.
I think all that Contagion missed was people hoarding toilet paper.
Great video.. Well done
Yes the spread is possible. The 1918 Influenza, that was bad. 😶
Great video, keep it up!
Thanks dude! I'll do my best :D
One of my favorite movies. Scary stuff.
It's great! Hopefully our situation never gets that bad.
I'll install rsl man, just for you

shoutout to all of you who got corona, papa bless
@@adaddyyumyumshira5358 I'm just laughing cus his papa is John from Papa John's.
😂😂😂
I find their pizzas as hard to digest as the H3 podcast.
Another great video and just in time
Thank you!
Gates now talking about computer viruses
My g you gotta to make a video about La bamba it's a great ass movie and needs to be talked about.
I remember watching this in health class being so fearful of viruses and germs and to think its happening now is making me even more scared lol hahaha ahhhhh...

Thank you
If a virus spread that fast n was as fatal as the movie, we would be screwed
E.L.E.
This is great
I am staying safe 3:44.
We are actually doing a lot worse than movie.
Paper Cat
No we’re not.
The movie they were talking about like a 25% fatality rate, the current one is like 1.5 and likely actually far lower then that
Erik Nervik I mean how we perform in the real world compared to the movie. Compared to movie real world politicians is even more useless
That's because the government shut down everything.
@@Tripp393 no its because it's not that dangerous. Boost you immune system and stay away from radiation antennas near you.
I liked this video
Thanks dude!
Why are people disliking this video??? In this video the narator is talking sense!
So who ever is disliking this video can go ^$%* right off.
Probably the same kind of person who goes to a coronavirus party.
The wide awake. Not the sheeple falling for this hoax.
This movie is done by the people who spread this to humanity
If only that lady had wiped her phone and other dirty things clean,washed her hands, ,many times,she would be alive.:-(:-( I love this video.:-)
You Beauty
Hi
Hi
Scientists can't develop a vaccine in. 35 days 😂
Stay safe ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Yeah, listen to the science hahaha. This video sure aged well.
Ok, so you go pray for yourself, the rest of us will take medicine. Good luck not dying!
Cortanan like not possible’
Well well what a surprise it also came from China
And obesity comes from america
holloywood love these film they like making film come to life. Now did bill gate know before how did obama know before did they watch the movie or have inside knowledge thats the question
Giving a death rate for Covid-19 is imo highly unethical since we honestly have no knowledge about how all of this will end
How is it unethical? It's just a number that represents the data, and it's an important number to know. It will fluctuate but we should still be paying attention to it.
It's mathematical statistics. Maths has no ethics or morals.
@@daniel_netzel Because we don't know the final numbers and they change everyday. Rn the mortality rate in Italy is 9%
@@Ivanmaradonaaa The mortality rate of the known cases. There is enough knowledge to make an estimation. The testing-to-case ratio is different in Italy, therefore the number is influenced by that.

And that includes the diseases trapped under a melting barrier of permafrost that, because they were trapped so long, people have no immunity to
this is what i got from the movie. cheating women will destroy the world.
