Although it has been many years, this film is still one of my top 10 favorite films, so there is no harm in writing it to share.
Everyone knows the ending of the film, so many people will blame Captain Billy's persistence and take this risk, otherwise they may return safely. I watched it for the first time, watching the moment when Bobby was swallowed by the waves, his confession to his fiancée sounded, as an audience, how much he wanted a miracle to come, to help Bobby and bring him back to his heartbroken fiancee with mom. Hou would have complained about Captain Billy's selfish insistence. The second time I watched it after that, I complained that the captain's mentality was much less, or I understood him. In fact, you will find that Bobby talks to the captain when he is dying. The captain with strong self-esteem apologizes for the first time. Maybe the audience thinks that Bobby will scold him. In the TV series, he also improved Bobby's perception. He spoke candidly and gratefully to the captain, and left with more regret and regret for his girlfriend.
Yes, they were all overwhelmed, they didn't return full, and they failed this time in terms of action, but they were by no means losers. The theme of the film is that when you choose to do this thing, you must muster the courage to conquer it, even if you face failure in the end, you are an unlucky hero. So I will understand the stubbornness of the captain at that time, life is like this, there are right and wrong decisions, we can't predict, we can look at the ending and then look back to make a choice, sorry, life can't be like this, only after doing it will you know, the bow is afraid of ghosts, the stern Afraid of thieves, how can this ship go out? In Europe in the age of voyages, I believe that many Magellan-style unsung heroes died at the bottom of the sea. In the age of sailing ships, once out of the sea, it was equivalent to handing over one's life to God, but so what? If not for so many adventurers who went on and on, Industrial revolution technology, advanced medicine, tomato and potato cultivation will not come to Asia and Africa. Magellan was just one lucky one among many navigators.
Looking back on the camera, these unlucky bastards are all grass roots in our lives. Life has different frustrations, but they all have a belief that they use their own
efforts to change their lives. They are not greedy for money, but just want to prove themselves. Captain Billy is a highly skilled and experienced sailor, but his long career was at a low ebb, and he was even ridiculed by his boss for his low performance, so he went to the sea with abundant fish. Chief Engineer Baggs is a life loser. He can't even afford a second-hand car, and his appearance is not flattering. When he said goodbye at the dock, the fat woman at the bar came to see him off, which was a great encouragement to him. Sailor Sullivan is a stray man with a cold personality. Who knows that Maffey, who had had a holiday with him, was the first to jump into the water to save him after he fell into the sea. This is the mind of a real man. mask. In order to make enough money to get a wife, the new sailor Bobby refused to be discouraged by his girlfriend to go to sea. So in the end, he didn't blame the captain. In the face of bad luck, they didn't lose their fighting spirit.
