      An ordinary person’s "Dying in the evening can be done after hearing the Tao"

      The movie The Mercy tells an ordinary person's sailing story. (The Chinese translation of the name "Compassion" is really bad. I don't know what it means.)

      The script is adapted from a real story. I don’t know if this story is still alive after people’s tea and meals in a small town in the UK.

      For the complete picture and text, please refer to: [ Shadow/"Compassion": An ordinary person's "Wearing the Tao in the morning, death in the evening" ]

      Three and a half, but not lost. It is more suitable to watch in the cinema.

      I think this movie is nothing but worthwhile, there is nothing wrong with it, and there is no special highlight. But I really appreciate its soundtrack and rhythm control, although it is plain but not dull. After all, they are the director and composer of the theory of everything, and I feel that they are quite good at dealing with this kind of story. In addition, plain stories also test the acting skills of actors. There are quite a lot of one-man shows. If it weren't for an actor of the...

      mercy

      May you see the original sin in your heart through the sea, and may you see your own insignificance through sailing. Dreams do not need to be pushed, dreams require courage and strength, and dreams require respect and true understanding. 7 months and 2 days, you have spent so many lonely days at sea. You fight with nature and fight with yourself. People other than you don’t understand, don’t understand, they lack that little compassion, and they have contributed to it. The moral crisis in...

      Mercy (The Mercy) is not an inspirational film, but it makes you think about the cost of pursuing fame.

      Mercy (The Mercy), this is not an exciting film. Aiming at this inspirational film review, which is not an inspirational film, I decided to find this alien nautical film to taste it.

      The protagonist lied, but before he was thrown into the sea, all his true journals were kept, and they were generously placed on the sailing table. He could have been thrown into the sea, but the liar finally chose to confess his truth. The fake is the record of the game. But the log of the voyage is not...

      The only word that touched

      Although the film is very general, but the heroine's words are very reasonable: I can see that you've all come to inspect the damage, to takr a picture, write a story.Perhaps you'd all like a word from the bereaved widow.Is that what you've come scavenging for?Yes?All right,well,write this down.I don't know if my husband slipped and fell,or he jumped…as you're now saying.But I would like you to rest assured, that if he did jump, he was pushed. And each and every one of you here had a grubby...

      In an impulse, I forced myself to a dead end. Of course, I can talk about how others put pressure on it, but in the final analysis, every step is still a matter of personal...

      The music is great, but the story is really indescribable. We often encounter this kind of thing that is driven to a dead end because of wrong estimates of ourselves, but in the end he didn't come back to take his responsibility, he chose to disappear (death). The wife and children are really good, but I still can't see this as the object of consumption by public opinion again? ? ? Loved the home video...

    Movie plot

    Donald (Colin Firth), a middle-aged small business owner , is facing a difficult business situation-the market is not interested in his new navigation device. He feels shameless to face home, both anxious and ashamed. At the beginning of the Circumnavigation Contest organized by The Times, Donald had a whim: he might earn £5,000 in prize money and promote the navigation equipment. The requirements of the competition are quite high....

    Evaluation action

    The director has not been able to reproduce his excellent microscopic perspective and delicate display of the spiritual world of the characters in The Theory of Everything. The whole film is natural and smooth, and the process of emotional transformation is reasonable and reasonable, but it lacks impressive clever pens. At the level of drama, the film combines the image of midlife crisis with the dilemma on the sea. It can be said to...

    Movie quotes

    • Mr. Best: How far are you going today?

      Donald Crowhurst: Oh, just staying locally. Practising for a longer haul, though.

      Mr. Best: Really? Any place in particular?

      Donald Crowhurst: Round the world.

    • Ian: Alone on a boat for nine months? You're either drunk or mad.

      Donald Crowhurst: Well, then we should have another drink immediately, so that we can rule out madness. As Chichester said, "any fool can circumnavigate the world sober, it takes a really good sailor to do it drunk." Same again?

    • Donald Crowhurst: [voice over] During his lifetime each man plays cosmic chess with the devil. It's difficult to know who's winning, because God plays with one set of rules, the devil plays with the other exactly opposite set of rules. But one thing is clear. The only real sin is the sin of concealment.
