Natural impermanence, life is supreme

"Youth School" and "Gravity" make you feel that the fire of life is gradually burning. In short, the hope and desire to survive increases with time, and the life instinct in this film is non-breathing annihilation. Despair intensified as the body's function weakened throughout the drift. The passage of time in the film, from sunrise, noon, to sunset and night, also matches the old man’s change of mindset from determination to abandonment. The fire that ignited at the end and the hand stretched out are the illusion of rebirth or real hope. No answer was given.

Perhaps it is not so important to respect nature or defeat nature. We should not expect that this 30-page script has to give the only explanation and this is not the fundamental purpose of film existentialism. After all, according to Hollywood rules, a one-page book is one. Minutes, according to the logic of many people, a story with only 30 minutes has been dragged to 100 minutes. If someone is still demanding this film with storytelling, it is equivalent to making Dora A dream without fingers as shameless as the gesture of V. The aegyo index is comparable to that of giving five points to his own movie but asking others not to give bad reviews. Comrade Xishaoan.

We all know that the basic function of movie lines is to convey information to the audience, and they also have an explanatory role in the process of transmission. And "All Lost" deliberately left the characters speechless, so it concluded that we understand the old man's reverie. This is very bold, because we don't know the background, how do we try to figure out the state of the old man's heart? Think about Tom Hanks’ survival belief in "Dead Island Survival" is to play football for people, "Gravity" Sang Po insists on his own children, "Youth Pie" lives for his dead family, then this old man Woolen cloth? Answer: life instinct! "Everything is lost" in the film's title means that, disconnecting from the world, living in the ocean of the origin of life, is pure life instinct.

In fact, "everything is lost" is more than Robert Rayford, who plays the old man. As an audience, we rarely know the role. The strangeness of the role and the blank information also make us "all lost." It may be the first time for many movie fans to have such an awkward experience of watching movies. I don’t know where the motives of the character’s behavior are, and I don’t even know the way to survive. I can only wait anxiously for the next step of the old man in front of the screen. You must know that "Youth School" and "Gravity" will at least confess that the characters will save themselves. Ideas. In fact, this way of handling is to make the audience no longer a bystander, but also to feel the helplessness of the elusive future.

Robert Rayford uses the power of silence to keep us focused on his performance. The acting skills need not be said. A 70-year-old actor challenges the physical and psychological limits, and the ups and downs of the role are vividly expressed. But is the film really quiet without lines? Obviously not, the sound part of the movie is composed of music, sound and lines, and "All Lost" has made the other two effects perfect after abandoning the lines. According to the distance, the combined reverberation of different channels will truly restore the sense of disaster between the drifts. If both "Youth School" and "Gravity" are using technology to create the three-dimensional visual wonder of the picture, then this film is in The sound produced a 3D effect. The beginning of the sound effects in the whole film represents the beginning of this episode, Robert Rayford's actions represent the development of this episode, and the sentence Fuck and Shit shows the end of this desperate episode. The soundtrack and audio clips are used to match the character's every move, especially when the storm comes, the ups and downs of dealing with a single situation.

The narrative of the film is naturalistic, not only the theme of the story lies in man's natural life or in awe of nature, but also reflects the contemporary "Old Man and the Sea", but the old man does not add artificial whitewashing and interference in the drifting process. From hitting the container to the arrival of the storm, or the story of two rescues, it is all going with the flow. There will be no deliberately arranged theatrical existence, without romanticism, the realism of the film suddenly emerges. . The hand at the end seems to be rescued, but everything stopped abruptly in the white light. No one can accurately say whether the old man was rescued, because life is as impermanent as nature!

All Is Lost quotes

  • Our Man: 13th of July, 4:50 pm. I'm sorry. I know that means little at this point, but I am. I tried, I think you would all agree that I tried. To be true, to be strong, to be kind, to love, to be right. But I wasn't. And I know you knew this. In each of your ways. And I am sorry. All is lost here, except for soul and body, that is, what's left of them, and a half day's ration. It's inexcusable really, I know that now. How it could have taken this long to admit that I'm not sure, but it did. I fought till the end. I'm not sure what that is worth, but know that I did. I have always hoped for more for you all. I will miss you. I'm sorry.
