human nature

Human nature is beautiful... This is my first sentence after watching this movie... The
real human nature, in real life, has been almost wiped out. People live numbly every day, mechanical life, labor, Completely lost the original meaning of life, as a person, the real meaning is not to do the same things as others, but to live out oneself.
This film does not have the romance of "Titanic", nor does it take much effort to portray the characters, but he can portray humanity better than Titanic.
In human nature, there are many beautiful things: family affection, love, trust, care, mutual assistance, communication, hope, and belief, all of which have been perfectly described in this film:
hope.
If they lose hope, can they survive? My classmate said to me: Yes. If there is no hope, what is the force that supports them to go out? Survival instinct? Why did those people in that hall die? So, that's not the reason to live.
The real reason is hope. I hope that I can live and that I can see my relatives. It is this hope that makes them have the idea of ​​finding a way out on their own. In the end, they found a way out, found their future, and became the only one who was rescued.
Belief.
This is also an important reason why they can survive. In the cabin with corpses, what gave people the support of psychology? is faith. I remember there was a sentence in it: "God, although I haven't been to church for a few months, please bless me." Maybe faith can really become a pillar of people's hearts, and in today's lack of faith, it is full of humanity brilliance.
mutual aid.
This is easy to say, if there is no mutual assistance, there will be no survival.
There is a stark comparison. When the alcoholic, when he puts aside the help, he actually puts his own life aside. And the one who jumped into the sea of ​​​​fire is not only the sea of ​​​​fire, but also the future.
Caring.
This is for people who don't know each other. This group of people who do not know each other has formed a solid emotion in the process of continuous progress, supporting their own progress. The part of saving the children, no, it's two parts, is the best manifestation of it. People love each other, and only an invisible lifeboat is built to keep them out of danger.
love.
Love is the eternal theme, some people say. But in this film, it seems that there is no excessive depiction of love, but it is revealed inadvertently. Maybe people are escaping, and they can't care about love...
family.
The highlight of this film, in the part where the father jumped into the water in order not to sacrifice his son-in-law and never came back, the brilliance of family affection covers everything from afar.
Of course, many bad thoughts in human nature are also reflected in this film. I don't want to write about it here. The brilliance of human nature will always cover the ugly, especially in disasters.
Humanity is beautiful.

They are rare, they are unpredictable, and they are lethal, Now the good news. The instant this ship was struck, emergency GPS locater beacons were launched, so we are at most, several hours from rescue.

    [People start panicking, a few people ask if the ship is sinking]

    Captain Michael Bradford: Please, do yourselves a favor. Follow the directions of my officers, and stay calm. This room is a giant air bubble holding up the ship. Once these bulkhead doors are sealed, we will be safe from gas leaks, fire, and flooding. We will be saved.
