      Poseidon-Faith

      It was unexpected to watch this movie, and I saw it aimlessly. It was a while after the movie ended, and I was still immersed in fear, and it took a long time to come back to my senses. There was only one feeling at the time. The disaster film would be really suffocating, and I never want to watch it again. It is also possible that the sound effect of the movie theater is so good. All that is left in the mind is the threat of death. At that moment, all people are facing death, and they are...

      Not as good as the new version

      I watched the new version, and then curiously looked for the old version.

      how to say? Excluding special effects that seem crude because of its age, the whole movie does not feel as good as the new version.

      The first is the rhythm, because there is a fat old lady on the road, the whole escape time is very rich, and the passage is also very spacious, without the sense of urgency of the escape film.

      There...

      There is nothing more mentally retarded than this

      It can be evaluated like this: a group of bizarre lives who are unable to take care of themselves and are mentally disabled for business purposes, trying to show the terrible story of how they killed themselves and others together in times of crisis.

      There are a lot of boring movies to watch. Such an idiot movie is really rare.


      Let me give you a few examples.
      At the end of the film, you have to cross a bridge with a big fire underneath.
      Almost every 10 victims...

      Question: Thinking determines the result, and choice determines the destiny.

      A person can only have one life and one travel experience. Fortunately, one film has one life. Through watching movies, one can experience the life of others and learn valuable lessons from it.

    Background creation

    The sensation Daditou disaster film can be called the pioneer of disaster film . Director Ronald Neame is good at creating humanity, especially in the heroic diving of Shelly David Winters. The pastor's spirit of being human is also admirable, which can be called a high-level work of its kind. The film focuses on the escape process, but the lines are quite naive, and the first-class special effects of the year seem to have no impact...

    • Mr. Linarcos: I did not suggest full ahead, Captain. As the new owner's representative on this ship, I ordered it!

      Captain Harrison: Damn it man, the Poseidon is too fine a lady to be rushed to the junkyard on her last voyage!

      Mr. Linarcos: We're already three days behind schedule! And it's costing my consortium thousands of dollars every day to maintain a wrecking crew. I demand we dock Monday night!

      Captain Harrison: And I can't afford to gamble with the lives of my passengers!

      Mr. Linarcos: Your business is to deliver this ship, where we want it, WHEN we want it!

      Captain Harrison: Running an unstable ship at full ahead is dangerous!

      Mr. Linarcos: I'm sure...

      Captain Harrison: Especially one as old as this!

      Mr. Linarcos: I'm sure I don't have to remind you of my legal right to have you relieved of command. Three other officers aboard this ship have their Master's License. Now, order Full Ahead!
