As the most serious oil field disaster in American history, the reason given in the movie is: BP executives ignored safety hazards and operated oil wells in order to catch up with the work schedule, which caused the disaster. Some members of the drilling team died in the disaster, and at the same time caused great damage to the marine environment. Originally, the executives thought they could gain benefits, but in the end they could only be responsible for all this. The owner of the drilling team, Jimmy, finally looked at BP with nearly blind eyes. Guan Donald: "Hurry up and roll me into the lifeboat!" The executive was like a child who made a mistake and dared not look at him, but the mistake was irreparable.
The first half of the movie is to explain some situations about the Deepwater Horizon. At the same time, the protagonist Mike has been in contact with his wife. I think it is to use him to reflect the attitude of the drilling staff to their families. For a long time, we can only get in touch with some modern technology. This job has certain risks. If one day the family loses contact with them, the feeling can be imagined. Just like the end of the movie, the injured Mike stumbled towards In the resting place, a strong man frantically pressed him about the whereabouts of his son.
As the only woman in the oil field, An Ruiya saved her life with the help of Mike. When she was about to press the button to cut the pipe, she was stopped, but she didn't have the courage to press it. Mike took her to a high place to prepare to jump In the sea to survive, she didn't have the courage to jump off. Mike could only help her to jump off. She also represented the way of thinking of some people when the disaster happened. The desire to survive was not very strong, and she lost her own judgment and needed the help of others.
Mike, as the protagonist, did not use his own power to save the entire team as he imagined, but he has been doing the right thing, staying rational, and taking all emergency measures. He has his own wife and children. It is false to say that he is not afraid of death. In front of him, he bravely took his responsibilities and tried his best to make up for it. It was not easy. He could also be called a hero.
