The Sadness ending does exactly what it is supposed to do, as expected from the title, and we are here to explain it all to you guys. The film released in 2021. It is a horror story from Taiwan. We have had a couple of hit films from the country, just like Incantation. Rob Jabbaz has defected the story as his directorial debut. The plot drives its major inspiration from the comic book series called Crossed. The story is all about a couple. They are trying to come together with each other and stay in peace. But the world has other plans as a virus has broken out. It is starting to turn people into homicidal maniacs, and they end up killing themselves.
The cast has actor Berant Zhu reprising the role of Jim. Then we have Regina Lei enacting the character of Kat. The film begins in Taiwan and is set in the present timeline. We the virus Alvin spreading over the world, the same we have just discussed about. The government, however, is not taking any measures in order to prevent this virus from spreading. It is getting quite fatal among the ordinary people who have confiscated the germs and started to kill themselves.
Other ordinary people do not think that the virus exists at all. This is such a great representation of the actual COVID virus that broke out into the world and caused a lot of deaths in 2020. We saw how one side of the party refused to believe that COVID even existed while the others were getting constantly affected by the same. Millions of people have died owing to the deadly virus.
