Good story, but the editing is like a hurricane

This kind of story is good to be narrated according to the timeline. The director probably wanted to increase the dramatic conflict and different performances, and adopted the jumping narrative method before and after the hurricane. As a result, it feels fragmented and always picks out the picture.

One second ago, the protagonist was worried about how to deal with difficulties. The scene turned and returned to the two romantic scenes in the picturesque, a feeling of old pause when watching intense action movies.

It is best for disaster films to be narrated according to the timeline, so that the audience can feel the joys, sorrows and sorrows of the protagonist, worry and rejoice over the ups and downs of fate together, enter the protagonist's inner world together, and feel their wild heart.

Real reproduction is not an accident investigation, but the logic of the development of things should be solid. Some of the logic in this film is not solid, such as:

The male protagonist is an old driver, and he was warned in advance. Why did he set sail before the hurricane came? Why not let the mast down, lock the steering wheel and hit the waves?

The male protagonist fell into the sea, was the female protagonist pushed it down, or was it shaken by the waves? Why isn't the heroine simply fixed?

Before the male protagonist begged to die, he lay down like a zombie and listened to the female protagonist's complaint, or what did he say?

As soon as the male protagonist dies, the female protagonist will immediately be resurrected with full blood, kill fish and eat meat, and survive successfully? Have you ever been disappointed in this?

In this kind of disaster survival movie, despair, hope, emotional changes, freshwater food collection, and utilization of broken ships are all the highlights. Unfortunately, the director has all taken it once, which seriously weakens the authenticity and brilliance of the story.

People like the hero and heroine are always an alternative and rare species of human beings, but they are the forerunners of human progress. Although ordinary people who eat melon are reluctant to imitate their exploration of life, they are still full of their powerful wild hearts. Curious, this kind of movie is well-made and has a market, such as the wilderness survival.
