Authors : Frid Daoudi .

Abstract

The present work outlines the relationship between movie fiction as an artistic piece of work and reality. The case study in this study is the movie Contagion, directed by Steven Soderberg in 2011. The work tries to focus on the way of building the movie to present fictional facts that are close to reality. Nine years later, the film became a reference in terms of prediction after the spread of COVID19, creating the first 21rst century pandemic era. The similarities between the fiction of the movie and the reality of the crisis period put forward the role of the cinema industry that goes beyond its simple entertaining character, which is an informative and educating role.
