I still remember Martin Luther King’s exalted great sentence: “I dream that one day, on the Red Mountains of Georgia, the sons of former slaves will be able to sit with the sons of former slave owners and recount brotherhood. "And Carl’s dream is not just a poetic picture, nor is it just asking to go out of the farm and change his father’s identity as a tenant farmer; he wants more, and is more practical-the Navy Diving Sergeant, this is Dreams that have been brewing since childhood.
For a group, resistance may be cruel, but because the pain is spread to everyone, the real feeling will be relieved a lot, whether physically or psychologically; for a person, the pain of fighting against a group But it is not shared. The only way to resist is to make yourself better and stronger. As a result, the struggle turned into a confrontation with himself in Carl, and what Carl did was to work hard without fear, to advance and eventually succeed, to become a hero of the United States!
However, from the standpoint of the story alone, "The Diving in the Angry Sea" is an ordinary movie. It is nothing different from similar movies. Put it in the big collection of American movies, there are countless similar movies, Radio in 2003, or Rudy earlier, are all of this type. "The Diving Commander of the Angry Sea" does not know whether the protagonist is placed in the atmosphere of the barracks, or the pen and ink is deliberately focused only on his persistent description, which makes Carl lack a lot of fullness as a screen character. In addition, it is the narrative of a single event, which makes the plot somewhat single.
The director only added a few highlights to the film when he connected the downturn of Sunday with Carl. However, the continuous relationship between the two from the beginning of the film makes it seem unsuspecting, and the purpose is obvious.
All in all, throughout the film, the characters are portrayed as they should be-Carl is going forward, no matter what challenges he faces, he will continue to fight for his dreams, without even the slightest hesitation; Sunday is constantly being demoted. , The heroes of World War II who are dissatisfied with the treatment, go to the military court again and again but still go their own way; Hanks is the most disgusting boss, no matter what the situation, he will only keep saying NO; Jo and Gwen are looking forward to creating their own little ones. Happy, good woman with little expectations of a woman. That's it. Are these so one-sided, or one-dimensional, that people can really exist in reality? Obviously, this is impossible. However, the movie did not fully portray them. The author believes that to a large extent this is a big reason why this film is only in the local "general" ranks.
What I really want to mention here is that the director wants to treat this film as a kind of ordinary people-even people who suffer more discrimination than ordinary people-can realize their dreams through hard work, but he has forgotten anything that is ordinary. The most important emotion of a person. Carl is not a paranoid after all! No one can truly do it without any doubt, although when he is successful, his path will be glorified as a "hero". However, the pain on the road is not uncommon and unforgettable for that person himself. And it is these negative energies of hesitation, sadness, frustration, and retreat that embody an ordinary person's path toward a "hero". And if the ultimate goal of such an inspirational film is to enlighten, then only in this way can it really empathize with the audience and touch people's hearts. But this is exactly what is difficult to find in "Furious Sea Diving General".
Again, there is another reason, the definition of the subject. The reason why this film is classified as an inspirational film is that it uses themes of love, race, heroes, etc. as the plot or premise in the film. The author does not expect that a film should cover all topics-this is necessarily impossible. But this kind of theme implantation makes the film seem a bit broken. Carl on the farm and Carl as a chef are Carl under the oppression of racism; Carl under the water instantly becomes a hero Carl; and only when Jo appears, Carl will show the feelings of love. These are not run through in Carl's daily life. In a sense, Carl does not live in the story laid out in the movie, but only lives on the stage. When the plot requires him to be "who", the people around him cooperate with what kind of attitudes, and these attitudes themselves are fundamentally broken. Although perhaps the director thinks that the protagonist's efforts can connect these broken attitudes and make it a reasonable plot. However, after watching the whole film repeatedly, there is more real breakage-and such breakage is not suitable for this film.
The last thing I want to say is that when the author comes, the film is ordinary, ordinary, or ordinary. It is just for viewing.
