Pain, make life complete

I have always liked disaster films. On the one hand, it makes us realize the power of nature, which we humans cannot compete with; hope. Pain makes life more complete. Just ask, why did you go to see this movie? I think the reasons are nothing more than these:
1. Feel the visual stimulation when the tsunami hits the land, countless corpses and tragic events
2. Experience the miracle and moving of life
3. Leave the real world and experience life and death with the protagonist After
watching this film, the biggest feeling is pain, the kind of pain that is like a knife. At the same time, it made me feel more in awe of nature. Remember that in the past few years, the words we often hear are - change nature and create the next miracle. Words like this, when spoken for a long time, become deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Makes everyone think that we humans can dominate what seems to be. However, after all, we are only a product of nature, it has the right to destroy or recreate. Whether it is an earthquake, tsunami, or volcanic eruption, in my opinion, it is the best treasure that nature bestows on mankind. Maybe you don't agree with me, but I think you must like rain and snow. After the rain, the world is fresh, and the air is filled with the smell of soil; after the snow, we can have snowball fights and build snowmen, which constitute the childhood memory of most people. Why do you like them because it brings us joy. But the earthquake, it can be said that talking about the shock color change. But in the long run, do earthquakes only bring disaster to us? I don't think so. Earthquakes will make some people lose their lives, which can be said to reduce the burden on the earth to some extent. Because, it is estimated that by 2050, the population will increase to about 10 billion, how about enough food? Is there enough water? I won't go into details about such benefits.
Perhaps, each of us is afraid of things like earthquakes and tsunamis, because we all know that we are so small compared to nature.
Writing here, I still want to ask, what is the purpose of watching disaster movies? At that time, when I was watching this movie in the cinema, there were only 3 people, two of them were girls, when they saw Lucas's mother had a large piece of meat cut off in the leg, they screamed and finally left the theater , and did not continue watching. Why? Because they can't bear the pain of life. They couldn't stand it because it was hard for them to imagine that this woman could continue to move forward like this when her legs were cut open. This picture reminds me of "127 Hours" I watched before. It is about an extreme sportsman who likes to ride a bicycle. When crossing a canyon, he fell into a narrow gap and was hit by a falling rock on his right arm. Under the conditions, use a non-sharp knife to cut off his right arm in a desperate situation. At that time, when I saw that he was clenching his teeth and cutting his right arm with only a small amount of strength left, I also chose to skip it. Because I can't bear the pain. I can't imagine if it were me, I would have the courage to do it.
Perhaps, this is what the director wants to tell us through this film: Pain makes life complete. Lucas, when he was on the plane at the beginning of the film, paid no attention to the bumps of the plane during the landing. He is not afraid, and he does not know how to take care of his younger brother. After the tsunami, he was the first to tell his mother that I was scared. I think it was at this moment that he realized the fragility of life. Later, when they heard a young voice calling for help, Lucas's first reaction was to move on, because he knew that with his mother's current physical strength, he would not be able to last long, and he must be in the next wave of tsunami. , find a place to take refuge. But my mother said: If that person's voice was your brother, would you let it go? It also tested our faith, perseverance, and humanity once again. Just like what was said in the first lesson of Harvard University's open class "Justice", salvation is still not saved. It is conceivable that the last choice is to save the child. This is where human nature shines the most, and I believe many viewers will be moved to tears when they see it. At the bottom of each of us lives a child called "kindness". In the beginning, people are inherently good.
At the end of the film, a prototype family photo of the film is given. The intention is to tell people that this story is not made up but actually happened. this is a true story. Why does this sentence have to be repeated at the beginning and end of the film? I think this is telling us that our lives are indeed very fragile in the face of disasters. But please don't give up your own beliefs, please believe that miracles will happen.
Life will thrive in the beating again and again, please believe: pain, make life complete.
