Wolfgang's films, but he is not familiar with Wolfgang.
I remember watching "Air Force One", "Perfect Storm" and "Troy" directed by him before. His films always bring strength and courage. To be precise, it should be heroism. The president played by Harrison Ford, the captain played by George Clooney, the warrior played by Brad Pitt and the gambler played by Josh Lucas in "Poseidon" all play leaders in the film. effect.
Poseidon (Poseidon) plays the role of "Poseidon" in Greek mythology and is the elder brother of Zeus; Wolfgang Peterson's cruise ship is also called Poseidon, Poseidon, the master of the sea, however, he Was instantly overturned by the tsunami-like waves. Fifteen minutes after the film begins, the New Year's carnival atmosphere is trapped in a black pool of casualties within seconds.
Several characters from the beginning of the film meet and plan to escape disaster before the hull capsizes. In this small group, there are the former mayor of New York City, a sailor, divorced women, etc. They have mother-son, father-daughter, and lovers, but this does not explain the problem. I want to show the family characteristics and human nature of American commercial films as always. , seems to be a powerful weapon that many big directors intend to escape but cannot avoid. Wolfgang intends to keep this film away from the sensationalism of "Titanic", and the style is more vigorous and cold. There is family affection and love between several characters, but they have not been further interpreted, just sketched with thick lines. No wonder "Cinema" magazine commented on it that Peterson used the "quick catastrophe method", but it caused the "Poseidon" to capsize in the gutter.
Throughout the whole film, the escape team headed by Josh Lucas seems to be experiencing an escape skills exercise. It is amazing that in such a dangerous environment and the rapid flooding of the cabin, Lucas actually In the past, I used to deal with the words calmly in the navy, and skillfully passed through the passages one by one, and successfully escaped again and again in the danger of water and fire. Before, I saw a report saying that this film is more atmospheric than "Titanic". The so-called "atmosphere" is to ignore the portrayal of the inner world of the characters, blindly flee, and place the behavior and danger of the characters under the disaster. important position, and even the heroism has become weak, if the pursuit of pure thrill and excitement, and deliberately reduce the character dialogue and psychological characterization to achieve a certain style, it is obviously a bit stupid. We spent this short 90-minute adventure with Peterson, and after watching the film, in addition to the rapid heartbeat, we lacked a deep impression of retaining memory, just like watching the "Doomsday on the Center of the Earth" before, in addition to remembering Outside of Oscar-winning Swank's nervous expression and a series of colorful scenes, I can't remember exactly what happened. And compare it with "Titanic", let me take one thing to illustrate the difference, "Titanic" I watched 7 times in theaters, and I will not watch this film a second time.
According to the director who is good at interpreting disaster films: Disaster is a great egalitarian. It doesn't matter how old you are, whether you are the richest man in the world or a waiter in a restaurant, no one is immune.
He grew up in Hamburg, Germany. Those who grew up by the sea may have a deep affection for the sea, and they poured imagination, guesses, and doubts into this affection... So one after another describes the horror of the sea. out of his hands. I hope that this excellent director will have more gentleness when making the hero face the storm.
