very real human instinct

This movie is great, but it makes me uncomfortable to watch.
This film fully shows the human instincts - before leaving the port, the woman, the mercenary on the ship, and the struggle against death are all instincts, similar to the instincts of the beasts. The only thing that surpasses the beast is the kindness that Moff rescued after he fell and the calmness of the captain at the end of the sinking.
Many people say that this film sees personal heroism, interpersonal emotions, etc. Maybe I'm colder, and the more I watch the more people on the BS ship.

In order to express himself, the captain did not hesitate to make fun of the lives of a few of his mates; the crew members were basically profit-seeking guys, they would turn their face when they couldn’t catch a fish, they could say anything and do anything; for the money, they took their own Jokes aside, the police lost a plane and a rescuer as a result.
It would be fine if they didn't know the storm, but they knew it well, not only had they received the fax of the satellite cloud image, but also had received a notification from the female captain - and even if they turned around at that time, it was still too late. However, no, they did not care about their family's concerns, nor did they cherish their precious lives. Not to mention the sacrifice of the rescuers, their families are still blaming others at home - in fact, isn't it all self-inflicted?
With fewer such mercenary adventurists, our society would be much safer and better—not just for their loved ones, but for everyone else.
