Maybe the director wanted to make the film more universal, and gave little account of the protagonist's history. We don't know his family, friends, profession, or even his hobbies. We have no idea who he is, only his gender and roughly his age, and, by the way, Jean from Virginia. That's all. In addition, the self-reported paragraph at the beginning of the film (should be the contents of the drift bottle), let me know more or less that his life was actually a failure. But despite this, the instinct of life kept him going until he was finally rescued.
What's in the bottle: I'm sorry, maybe it's useless to apologize now, but I still have to apologize, I've worked hard, everyone should know that I've worked hard, tried to be sincere, strong, kind, and learned to love , do the right thing. But I didn't succeed. I know that everyone has a unique experience with this kind of thing. I'm really sorry. Everything is lost here, only the battered body and soul, and half a day of reason. I now know that there is no excuse for shirk. Although I don’t know why I admit it now, I finally admit it. I have been fighting to the end. Although I don’t know what it is worth, at least I have a clear conscience. I hope everyone’s hard work has gained more than me. I will miss you. I'm very sorry.
As far as the plot is concerned, this film is not very story-based, that is, the plot is not twisty enough. In many places, what should be miserable can actually be a little bit more miserable (such as his injury), and what should be thrilling can be a little more thrilling (such as Sharks are attacking), the aesthetic can be a little more beautiful (such as a sunset). But the director is very restrained, lest there be too much drama and the audience will feel that the film is not real enough. After all, this movie is different from the pursuit of teenage pie. The film relies heavily on photography, editing, and actors' performances to grab the audience. In addition, just the right music is also remarkable. Even though it is not as pleasing to the eye as "Youth Pie", not as shocking as "Gravity", and not as interesting as "Desert Island", but the sincerity in its sound and picture gives it a different Such charm.
