      "To keep others alive"

      This is a main theme movie that conveys the mission of the Haiphong team from beginning to end: "so that others can survive". The works of the main theme always seem to be a little old-fashioned, but they can always be touched, shocked and understood.

      What struck me the most was "The Real Men's World". In a naval bar, Feish fought with a naval officer to protect his classmates who saw themselves as weak, and was imprisoned for this. In the dialogue between Randall (Kevin...

      interpretation of life

      After watching it many times, I was very excited about Fisher and Ben's "fight of wits and courage", and I was also very excited about the two troubles at the Navy Bar, but each time it always brought me different thoughts and harvests are those in the movie. Human interpretation of life.
          At the Maggie's bar, a mundane but philosophical line filled my mind:
      "We're getting older all the time. You know what? I don't care. I mean, if the muscles are sore we've used it; if I walk now...

      The Guardian

      A Coast Guard lifeguard's story.

      I love this movie, and a big reason is that the personalities and special friendship of the two male protagonists touched me. None of them are perfect, and it can even be said that they all have psychological barriers that affect their personal lives. But in the end, some people were resolved and continued to live meaningful lives; while some people, buried in the sea, seemed to be liberated.

      Fisher question, who should I save first?...

      So others may live~!

      I can't deny that I watched this movie, and I felt a little uncomfortable. The moment the Sergeant Major died, my tears fell. I wonder why this is a tragedy? Why did the sergeant have to sacrifice himself in the end. Maybe the writer wants to bring the retired lifeguard Ben back to the sea, because the sea is his home and his destiny.

                    Maybe, to prove this sergeant who is like a sea god, the movie made him a sea god, he said: he will never let go, he gave hope to those...

      A film that lifts the soul

      In a leadership course promotion meeting, the teacher selected this film as the medium of course interpretation. I liked it at the time, because I was so busy that I didn't have time to watch it until today.
      Everyone has a knot in their hearts, or a belief to work hard for, and this is the instinct you show in desperate situations. Kevin said in the film: Now I understand that I have always been the drowning gentleman, with only myself in my heart.
      I don't think it's an exaggeration....

    Evaluation action

    Although the film uses the common pattern of Hollywood disaster movies, heroism plus disaster scenes, embellished with love and friendship from scratch between heroes, the film is still very enjoyable as a typical commercial film. The 30-foot-high waves created by the wave-making swimming pool are fake and real, making the audience's hearts hang in the air with the protagonist's situation from time to time   .
