After the tsunami came, the screen went black for several seconds. For a few seconds, it was as quiet as the feeling of a roller coaster just hitting the track at a peaceful speed, and it was also like a blank space where the neck was pinched and the mind suffocated. If the former, it is very meaningful to describe the tranquility on the eve of the storm. If the latter is the case, it seems to indicate that when death comes, it is only an objective event without emotion that happens instantaneously. Then the whole film should be a fusion of the two before and after. It is the beginning and the beginning.
If death only happens for a moment, without awareness, fear, or emotion, then death itself is not scary. Like a smashed glass, the glass itself has no emotions. If you hit it out in anger, the cup is just an intuitive filling of anger by the contemplative person. So Ewan's words explain this principle very well, "The thing I am most afraid of is that after this, I stand up and I am left." The existence of an individual, for other people, is not simply a living being people.
Nature is the king of destruction, and the sometimes violent monarch turned the table in devastated ruins. When you are on this table, your fate of being destroyed is just a matter of self-governance in a sense, and there is no need to condemn and blame anyone. Everyone has their own lives, it is not your will to kill others, and your will may not really be related to you. There are also some very subtle but unstoppable forces in this that exist objectively. But if you take a step back and look at the whole, maybe even the attributes of remorse acquired after the fact are destined.
The brilliance of human nature reflected in this film is dazzling. When they are in trouble, when they hear a child crying for help, a parent always has a heart of compassion. For example, bosses with daughters are more forgiving of female colleagues, and people who are pregnant in their living environment are more likely to give up their seats to pregnant women. So when Naomi heard a child calling for help, she couldn't just sit back and watch. People who have experienced related events are especially sympathetic to others' similar encounters. Like Ewan, who dragged his body around looking for his wife and children with scars in the film, when he met the first person with a phone call, that person's family was intact, but he was frightened and wanted to leave quickly. When Ewan offered to borrow the phone, he was decisively rejected. When a group of separated family members were chatting, the man who lost his wife and daughter took the initiative to lend his phone, and even offered to borrow it again when he saw that Ewan's first phone call was not well settled.
Therefore, although it is impossible to completely profile all people, for most people, those who commit crimes and destroy other people's families often come from unhealthy upbringings and unhappy families. Because these people have never experienced the taste of happiness, they naturally do not understand how precious the beauty of their own destruction is, so they have no sympathy, and they are so ruthless when they do things.
I don't know how everyone grasps the scale of pranks. I remember watching a short video, two good friends are at home waiting for a girl to come back, one is responsible for the sudden pop-up fright, and the other is responsible for the video. Then when the girl came back, she was obviously overly frightened, and she rushed out of the house in a conditioned reflex and was hit by a car to death. Without discussing the authenticity of this video, let’s go back to this film, when Lucas listened to his mother’s words and tried his best to help others everywhere, and then came back when he couldn’t see his mother but had an empty hospital bed; when he couldn’t find his mother, he turned to a book When the death file and being asked about relatives whose lives and deaths are unknown; when the nurse doctor led him to identify earrings and rings... Lucas was so uneasy in his heart, helpless and had to keep calm. Fortunately, I later found out that it was just a misunderstanding. Only relieved.
I didn't cry after watching the whole movie, which was totally unexpected. Later, I concluded that it was because I drank a bottle of wine beforehand to strengthen my courage and prepare myself. Therefore, when the stimulus does not come so unexpectedly, people are often able to bear it. What is a little surprising is that this film is obviously less shocking than other disaster films, and it is more about the detailed description of the individual, highlighting the emotional shaping of the characters. This also has its place to be savored.
When it falls into the sea full of glass shards and twigs, and nature shakes and stirs, there is nothing man can do. But as long as there is hope, there should be hope. I don't know if I can get a happy ending like in the movie. But when the dawn is in the mind, at least it's not all night in the dream.
