This is a World War II story about survival, struggle and redemption, a movie with a strong Hollywood flair that deserves a few words. The story tells the story of Louis, an American Olympic distance runner, after his plane crashed into the sea during World War II. He and two other survivors floated on a life raft for 47 days, but in the end they became prisoners of Japan and suffered a lot. The story is divided into two parts. The first part is about being killed at sea. The three people are floating on two lifeboats like a movie teenage pie, and they make a living by fishing. In the end, one survives by believing in God. "Dough" belief, powerful vitality and conversion to God at a critical moment, and a comrade in arms lost the last support of faith and died. The second part tells about the life of the Japanese concentration camp, mainly about the conflict between the warden Watanabe and Louis. In Watanabe's view, these Allied prisoners of war are all enemies of the country, and therefore his enemies. He feels that Louis is very unusual and somewhat similar to himself, but he is an enemy, so he finds various excuses to particularly torture him. To destroy his will, there is even a hilarious long-distance running race to gain poor confidence by defeating a hungry, skinny Louie. And Louis is a true hero, a man of great humanity, faith and courage, who survived by the call of God.
This film explains the importance of faith by telling the story of Louis' rough life. Although Louis was born in a Christian family, he was inattentive and inattentive. In the stormy sea, he issued a call to God in his heart and hoped for redemption. By converting to his faith, he endured the hellish concentration camps. day. Another comrade-in-arms died because of the lack of this support and the belief in survival.
The film is a comparative analysis of human nature. The humanity manifested in Louis is the natural nature under faith. Survival, winning, friendliness, honor...constantly flashed, showing the good side of human beings; Watanabe embodied the distorted humanity, the premise is the will of the country, The enemy of the country is my enemy. Under this premise, man has no soul, he has become a devil, jealous, hatred, vanity, cruelty... It shows the evil side of man. Once defeated, man will collapse completely.
Famous Hollywood star Angelina Jolie has won the qualification to direct this film because she has her own unique life insights. A few years ago, she calmly accepted the high incidence of breast cancer in her family. Before the onset of the disease, she resolutely removed her breasts and ovaries to start a new life. This extraordinary move requires very rationality, great courage, and strong spiritual support, and these are what this film really wants to express.
