It is not so much a Hollywood disaster film as it is a commercial warning and educational film. The film is adapted from real events and uses the company's original name directly. It is expected that BP's consent should be obtained. Face the facts, courage is commendable, and apology is full of sincerity...
The effect of the scene is good, the plot is smooth, and the various small details in the front indicate that the disaster is about to happen, and the foreshadowing is in place. I just thought that such a huge accident would cause large-scale casualties. However, only 11 people were killed in the end, and the main person responsible for the incident escaped and survived. This kind of treatment may be to restore the original face of the incident as much as possible, but guesses A lot of people are just as unhappy as I am.
Disaster movies inevitably refer to human nature. In this film, the contrast of characters is stark and direct: on the one hand, there are BP executives who are greedy for profit, on the other hand are employed employees who strive to ensure job safety and professionalism, plus some small people who dare not take responsibility in the face of major events. No other clutter. Nonetheless, in terms of creating characters, there is no deliberate emphasis, and most of the time is used to show the horror of blowouts and fires on offshore drilling platforms.
At the end of the film, it also points to the psychological shadow problems encountered by the survivors after the disaster, as well as the grief-stricken questioning of the families of the victims... It can be seen that the director's consideration is still very comprehensive, and he has been trying his best to restore the truth. From this point of view, this can also be regarded as a documentary disaster film.
Perhaps most natural disasters are accidental, and many times humans have no control over them, but I always feel that all man-made disasters have a reason. If it weren't for saving hundreds of thousands of dollars in inspection and maintenance costs, such a disaster would not have occurred. Therefore, greed is not enough to swallow an elephant, and greed is the original sin in human nature that can never be eliminated.
