This is a play of one person, and the acting skills of the male lead are very demanding.
The male protagonist and his partner enter the desert to perform tasks. Due to a momentary soft heart, the mission failed, and his companions fell into the vast desert. His companion stepped on the minefield and died. He also stepped on a mine. During the 53 hours waiting for rescue, he experienced sandstorms, water shortages, food shortages, and auditory hallucinations. In loneliness and hunger, in the dialogue with Lean, he began to think a lot about life, about war. Finally, when he fell down due to lack of energy, he realized that it was not landmines that had tortured him for a long time, but buried cans.
Life is so ridiculous sometimes. The ocean that you can't go through is just a small stream; the mountain that you can't cross is actually just a hillside. But we are not wise men, we have no experience, we can only make judgments based on our own experience. We feel helpless and desperate, it's all real. Not an exaggeration. I remembered a scene in a movie that I saw a long time ago. A father took his family to escape the fog and aliens. When the people who were with him were victimized and desperately desperate, he killed his family in despair, waiting for the aliens to come in the fog. At that time, rescuers came through the fog. I think what he sees is not hope, but another kind of despair.
About trust
In the movie, when the hero Mike is trapped in a minefield. A black old man and little girl appeared repeatedly. They all seem to be familiar with the environment of the minefields and move freely in the minefields. But just repeatedly said to the hero, why don't you take a step forward. Many film critics think it is a hint of life. But at the moment of life and death, at the moment of confrontation in the war, it is difficult to sort out what the old man said is true and false. This is not a simulation game, not an ordinary choice in life. Between one step, life and death depend on each other. The protagonist did not follow the advice and was tortured for 53 hours, which is understandable.
The whole film seems to be a black joke with God. The smart and calm male protagonist seems to have made a stupid insistence, but this long process of loneliness and suffering, he talks with the old man, talks with himself, and he does his best to fight against nature and himself, it is not a kind of experience. At the moment of relief, I believe he is no longer the same as before.
Only with fear can we go on for a longer period of time.
