J·C's expectations of us

A one-man show, no narration, no inner monologue. There are no other actors. The movie is not ugly in its entirety. The male lead and editor let the whole movie run smoothly. The director is probably a minimalist, he only told us the content of the monologue. Everything else needs us to imagine. According to the title, I can guess that there will be nothing left at the end of the film, from an artistic point of view. I think the male protagonist should sink to the bottom of the sea. Even if it matches the title, it is reasonable. And let us imagine based on the content at the beginning.

But the director doesn't seem to be satisfied with our pleasure alone, he also thought about it. That is, after experiencing despair, everything is lost. Has the male protagonist pulled up from the edge of death learn to love, learn to be honest, and learn to be strong?

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.
