The ‘Flood’ isn’t “Flooding”
From my opinion, the “Flood” is not just about the rising tide. In this film, the water serves as a metaphor for a vast sea of memories and emotions. It’s a literal and figurative drowning in one’s past. Kim Da-mi nailed her role very well. Hats off!
Spoiler ⬇️
The story functions like a system failure—an endless loop that restarts every time the objective isn't met. It’s fascinating to see how the narrative explores the concept of emotional induction. The experiment’s core theme, ‘a mother searching for her lost child,’ is both heartbreaking and chilling. Once the emotional goal is achieved and "Jain" is found, a new "object" is launched, showing the cold, clinical nature of the experimenters behind the scenes. Anna’s intense emotional reaction suggests a deep, genuine bond, but in a world where memories are manipulated, it’s hard to tell where the truth ends and the simulation begins.
At the end, The Great Flood is a haunting sci-fi that forces us to question what makes us human. Is it our biological heart, or is it the inescapable flood of emotions we feel for those we love?
