I'm Never Touching Another Person Again

.... This is my residual feeling from watching Contagion. I finally got to see that movie last night, and it was awesome! It was completely terrifying. How much everyone panicked, how fast the disease spread, everything about it. What I think was the scariest thing about it is how real it felt. Like this was actually happening. The film brought up things that you don't normally think about; at least things I haven't ever thought about. For example, I never thought about how long it takes to actually make a vaccine, or how it is decided who gets said vaccine first. Or how drug companies make billions of dollars off of panics like that. I also never thought about the panic that would spread in a situation. But that would definitely happen.
There were a lot of shots of just people's hands touching various things. I would say that those parts were freaking me out the most. There was a part when they were trying to find the origin of the disease, and they just kept showing Gwyneth Paltrow touching things and people. *Shiver* It's weird to think of such a deadly disease spreading through things we touch. One thing that really bothered me about the whole movie was that there were these minute to two minute long overly soundtracked sections. There was no dialog, just very loud, intense music playing, and shots of people talking over a conference table. It just seemed like dead airtime to me. Not good. I would say that that is about my only complaint though. This movie was completely riveting and absolutely terrifying.
