Director and screenwriter J.C. Chandol brought us the very ambitious "Storm of Interest" full of lines and group scenes three years ago, and this time he presented the audience with a single The story of survival at sea in which the independent characters are almost silent in the environment.

Robert Redford, who was awarded the Oscar Lifetime Achievement Award in 2002, took on the challenge of physical strength and acting skills in his rare years and took over the hardship by sailing alone on the Indian Ocean.

There are almost no lines in the whole film. From the accidental damage of the sailboat at the beginning of the film to the struggle alone under the storm, from the difficult day after day waiting for the rescue on the lifebuoy to the burning of everything in exchange for the faint hope of life, the protagonist in the whole process. There is not too much emotional portrayal, but is dragged by the desire to survive to make all the instinctive struggles. In the absence of the premise of dramatic conflict caused by psychological contradictions in a desperate situation, Robert Redford relies on calm actions to interpret the desire to survive, which makes the story even more shocking. soul.

All Is Lost quotes

  • Our Man: 13th of July, 4:50 pm. I'm sorry. I know that means little at this point, but I am. I tried, I think you would all agree that I tried. To be true, to be strong, to be kind, to love, to be right. But I wasn't. And I know you knew this. In each of your ways. And I am sorry. All is lost here, except for soul and body, that is, what's left of them, and a half day's ration. It's inexcusable really, I know that now. How it could have taken this long to admit that I'm not sure, but it did. I fought till the end. I'm not sure what that is worth, but know that I did. I have always hoped for more for you all. I will miss you. I'm sorry.
