Of course, All in "All Is Lost" also includes Life. When watching this film, I quickly thought of "The Old Man and the Sea" (Hemingway said that "a person can be destroyed but cannot be defeated", and finally committed suicide by drinking a bomb. I personally think that he is a tough guy who has been eliminated) . In "The Old Man and the Sea", the old man loses the big fish after he hangs it. No matter how hard he tries, he will not be able to reach the surrounding environment. He will consume the fruits of his victory, and finally only the fish skeleton is left. There is also a fish skeleton, which is a testimony of the old man's struggle. Although it is meaningless, it is an explanation to himself. But "All Is Lost" is a film that has no final explanation after hard work. All 100 minutes of hard work did not escape the fate.
According to the theory of fate in Greek mythology, all lives, humans, gods, and demigods are struggling with a predetermined destiny, but all their efforts are in vain. The most typical is Oedipus, the god of tragedy. He was predicted from his birth that he would kill his father and marry his mother. After a lifetime of hard work and ups and downs, all the prophecies of killing his father and marrying his mother were finally fulfilled. Above the Greek gods, there is a destiny, and the gods are irresistible. This view has also been influencing Western society. With all my strength, I can't escape the god of fate. The novelty and meaning of the movie is the nameless old man in "All Is Lost" who is not saved in the end. Great art records not happiness, but anxiety, turmoil, and despair. Then we audience members sit in the cinema for 100 minutes, just to see how an old man is going to die? Why should we watch a destiny swan song of struggle to death? Just like the gods who struggle with fate in Greek mythology, because we have to face death and our destiny. Only after we face it, we will be humane, we can use humanity to fight against heaven, and we can’t give in to fate, in the most vulgar sentence. In the words of "You are not afraid of death, but also afraid of living?" Only after acknowledging fate can you fight against fate.
This is why the old man who worked so hard ended up with nothing, because this is the dilemma many of us are facing. He has been busy all his life, but he still knows his life. Knowing that you want to know what you want, but still having to struggle and work hard, is the true meaning of life. Only by acknowledging destiny can we fight destiny.
Negative energy is the positive energy that is overcoming obstacles. The true positive energy is not to complain about oneself, and not to wait for the flow of nature. Don't sigh for the old man, his experience is the epitome of our life, we encourage each other.
