In the film "Fight the Sea: Polar Expedition", it tells the epic battle of the British warship Marvel led by Captain Jack to fight the French cruiser Hell. Despite the existence of the enemy ship Hell, we used a single point of view, stared at the ship of the Marvel from beginning to end, and followed a separate route with the expedition, which made us bear a kind of loneliness. The fate of moving forward bravely, perhaps only in this way can we truly appreciate the meaning of the mission.
The elusiveness of Hell's initial attack on the Surprise made me feel an unknown sense of oppression. The target of the expedition (Hell) is both dangerous and mysterious, but fortunately this target is certain and unquestionable, which can be seen in the unwavering expression of Captain Jack. Captain Jack got rid of the enemy ship's sneak attack based on his experience, responsive wit and even ocean-going insight. The ocean is the hell of the self-sufficient, and thus he is the carrier of the human dream. Without the unknown, that dream is like the frivolous and lifeless dust of the land. Only the waves of the ocean are coherent, thick, and full of vitality, which can sometimes be soothing and sometimes turbulent, just as the goal of human exploration is full of blessings and curses, symbolizing benefits and risks. coexist. Those who are prepared will avoid risks and find new ways to pursue their goals, while those with no fighting spirit and surly temperament will sit still and be attacked by the target.
The film successfully reproduced the large ocean-going warships of the Napoleonic era, which made me deeply feel the breadth and depth of the maritime career. What happened on this deep-sea warship is a huge project, from the repair and maintenance of the ship itself, the renovation and updating, to the supplement of living materials, from personnel management to psychological intervention, from war deployment to on-the-spot command, everything is on this ocean. There can be no omission and neglect in the control and maintenance of the wooden blocks, otherwise, the possibility of escaping can only be zero, and there are only two remaining outcomes: buried in the sea or reduced to prison. A large ship changes many times according to the needs in the reasonable deployment and unity and cooperation of the people. The only constant is the stable structure of the whole ship and the stable pace of the sea. Nothing at sea has ever gone wrong.
The two people on board were the most impressive, Captain Jack (starring Russell Crowe) and Doctor Stephen (starring Paul Bettany). Jack's mission, the scientific research of doctors, represents two aspects of people's pursuit of dreams and exploration of the unknown in that era: the conquest of the subjective world and the pursuit of the objective world. But on a cruiser carrying a naturalist and a part-time doctor, scientific research can be as sacred as a promise, worthy of respect and satisfaction, but it cannot be worthy of its name and immediate results like conquest and artillery bombardment. Therefore, it was still an era of competition for maritime hegemony, and an era of knocking open the world with artillery and saber and pulling civilization. However, people's interest in nature and the urgent pursuit of new technologies outside the battlefield can reflect people's high respect for science. This is a driving force for human progress, which originates from human nature and is related to the human needs. The doctor's tireless dedication to nature and Captain Jack's dedication to the mission also mean the firm pace of human conscious progress, which requires great faith and strong courage to undertake the huge challenges faced by human beings in the process of realizing themselves and creating the future. challenge. Therefore, although historical biases are unavoidable, the times are progressing after all.
