perfect, imperfect

I don't remember how many times I watched "Perfect Storm", because after watching "Ocean", I couldn't help but think of this film, a disaster film that cannot be surpassed in my heart (this film is based on a true story). I don't know if the story is too real or the ending is too sad. Every time I watch it, I will be emotional...

Where is the perfect storm? All the crew members died at the bottom of the sea after trying hard again and again. There is no superhuman male protagonist, no omnipotent sea guard, no hero, no miracle... I once thought that this was a group of people who were greedy for money, and gave up the chance to live because they were unwilling to take a chance on the fish. , I was wrong, what they refuse to give up is the dignity of a man, the responsibility to the person they love, and the love of the sea for the pursuit of their own life. I still remember what Captain Billy said, "The fog has just cleared, slowly set sail, sailing to the southern strait, passing by the beach that slid over the ice as a child, sounded the whistle and waved to the children of the lighthouse keeper, seabirds flew over, black-backed birds, herringbone gulls. And the sea duck, the sun is out, go north, the speed is 12 knots, the sailors are busy on the deck, and you are the captain commanding them, the sun is gradually falling, how beautiful the sea is!" Yes, the sea is so much Beauty, this is a little refreshing from a man who is fearless in the storm and dares to take responsibility. Yes, it's a once-in-a-lifetime storm, call it the perfect storm because it's invincible. It's also the perfect storm for the crew, because when it comes to proving it's a man or a boy, they both prove they're real men, isn't that what they want? They can sleep well in the sea they love!

But who wouldn't be sad when they saw the ending? When the captain sat down weakly, he failed to save himself and save the crew, he had tried his best and had no regrets. In reality, if he did his best, there would be no problem; when Murphy thought of his son, maybe he was not a so-called good father, but his There is a father's love for his son in his eyes. He has worked hard; when Bobby struggled to swim out of the sea when the ship sank, he just wanted to say a word so that his lover could hear... Too much powerlessness and no way. It should make us give up our belief in doing our best.

The perfect storm brought the most imperfect ending in reality, but made the most perfect movie
