Virus (1980)
6/10
Conversation in the church

Warning: Spoilers
"Virus" and "The day after" are two of the eighties apocalyptic movies that had a point of melancholy. Main characters have no political focus, and mass destruction features are far away from the actual interests of people, but people die because of these features. At all, no one earns anything with the annihilation of people.

In the other side, "Virus" has scenes that attempt to be quite profound. Are actually so profound? I'm not sure.

However, I assume there is a memorable conversation in the movie. The matter is that the conversation is in Japanese. Could anyone offer us an English (or Spanish) translation of the full conversation in the deserted church? At the end of the movie, the main character comes in a church (presumed in South America) and has a mute conversation (subtitled in Japanese) with a Christ in a dropped cross, and with two corpses. I have down loaded the 153 minutes version (basically English spoken) and cannot understand the Japanese subtitles of that conversation. Almost 25 years ago, I watched this movie at my home TV, in a Beta video case. I enjoyed extremely and remember that conversation perhaps one the best moments of the story, with the very beginning (February 1982, snowy scene with the professor who stoled the MM88). 25 years ago, in the Beta edition at my home, I listened to the Spanish translation (not a mute, but a spoken conversation), and perhaps with English subtitles. I loved that scene.
