feeling outside the movie

Poseidon, a supposedly good film. After watching it, I feel normal. Compared with disaster films like the Titanic and the day after tomorrow, it is a world of difference.
Not to mention the hypocrisy of many pictures, but the structure of the story makes people feel very inexplicable. It should be said that the theme of the disaster film is to reflect the various emotions and expressions of human beings under the power of nature or revenge, as well as the emotions contained in the process. Unfortunately, what we see in this film is just a simple disaster. In such a disaster, there is no clear idea of ​​what the director wants to show after watching it.
The plot is a failure, the picture processing is rough, the characters are not full enough, the story structure is not clear enough, and too many failures are destined to be a rare poor film.
When I watched it, I suddenly felt something, but it was not the movie itself, but an extra topic. I can't help but think, when a person is in a group, in a certain atmosphere, they share a certain theme, happy or sad, can this individual still be called an individual?
In a group, everyone loses their individual soul, and instead is a group thinking, such as the army, or the Cultural Revolution. When this torrent swept the individuals in it, it formed an unstoppable historical wheel.
And the head of this group is like a sacred giant. Even if he is not perfect, blind conformity forces this head to have no choice but to move forward with great strides.
Back to the scene in the movie, a group suddenly faces a catastrophic blow after a carnival. What will happen to the entire group? Is it to look around in a hurry, or to follow blindly, perhaps relying on an instinct to escape and survive?
Another picture comes to mind, that is, when the elevator escapes, if he is the old mayor, will he decisively kick the chef down? I can't imagine myself making that decision. But think about it, if it really comes to that time, it is estimated that it will act by instinct like an animal.
Humans, perhaps only when they really face it, can they truly make the choices they need. I hope that one day, I can experience more in many aspects. This may be the value of your life.

The instant this ship was struck, emergency GPS locater beacons were launched, so we are at most, several hours from rescue.
