      "The Lonely Boat in the Angry Sea"

      Is

      Ang Lee's film about the tiger in the sea imitating this film? hehe! But this is Hitchcock's 1944 black and white film!
      Looking at the beginning, I think it is possible, and at the end, I think it is really possible!
      In fact, directors are always moving forward in imitation. Who dares to say that Hitchcock is not imitating anyone?

      A World War II-themed film should have been completed in the studio with 10 actors!

      sigh. . .

      It's a full-scale drama movie, and it simulates the seascape very well. I watched the Taiping Wheel 70 years later.
       The characters on the lonely boat are specially arranged to be a very rich one, a black waiter at the bottom, a famous and rich female writer who is only interested in her works, a crew member, a combatant, and a nurse. One of the mothers who lost their children did not forget to bring a Nazi. I thought it was impossible for Xifa to portray the Germans as vicious in a single...

      Prejudice, Break or Confirm?

      "Lifeboat" reminds me of a short story "The Boat at Sea" that I read a long time ago. The latter also tells the story of how humans struggle to survive on a lifeboat not the size of a bathtub. The difference is that the characters in the novel are set as cooks, reporters, oilers and captains. Although they also have obvious personality characteristics, the focus of the description is biased towards nature. "Lifeboat" seems to be more willing to talk about "people" than the sea. In this regard,...

      human nature in war

      I think I have seen many Hitchcock works, but this is the first time I have seen Hitchcock's "group portrait" works. Technically speaking, the film is very perfect. Although the whole film was shot in a large water canal, it was realistically simulated as a lonely boat in the vast ocean. As the "lone boat" swayed from time to time, it also greatly enhanced the instability of the relationship between people on this boat and the suspense of the movie.

      Although this film is mixed with more political orientations, it is still a masterpiece as a confined space group drama. People with different identities and political opinions are trapped in lifeboats, plus a German who is attacking them. In the process of getting along with the sea, the contradictions are constantly intensifying and a delicate balance is constantly formed. In the process of breaking and bonding The mentality changes of several couples and the looping setting at the end are...

      #enclosed spacenarrative#1. The relationship between the characters in the film is an ideological opposition. It already exists before entering the space. The space provides a field for the characters to conflict. But if the space is just to reinforce the conflict between the characters, it would make the story too logical. Forced to survive in the film, the characters can only temporarily give up ideological differences and maintain the stability of the space. #scene# contains differentiated...
