The first work of Nicolas Cage I saw

To be honest, I was attracted by the phrase "the innocent people continue to blame themselves, and the guilty people feel at ease", so I watched the movie and thought it was a line. When I saw it, I felt very sad. On the one hand, the crew was struggling in isolation and helplessness at sea for four days after the ship sank, which deepened my fear of the sea, and during the war, the soldiers on both sides were victims; on the other hand, It is the captain who loves soldiers like a child, and faces the danger together with the soldiers, but later on his back for political reasons, he committed suicide by drinking bombs.

This movie is relatively new, it was filmed in 16 years, and the quality of the picture has nothing to say; Nicolas Cage has outstanding acting skills and performed a captain image of a respected and caring soldier, as if he was originally the captain; the portrayal of other soldiers is rich. full. But there are deficiencies, too many branches, and it takes up the time of the main storyline. I think it would be better to remove the plot related to the love triangle (this is really unnecessary) and add the part from the captain back to the suicide later. To be honest, at first I thought it would be the officer who received the sos signal and did not send the ship to rescue, because after all, the delay in getting the rescue was the cause of most of the crew’s deaths. There is also the ending of a proud and complacent lieutenant who wants to go to the island with a few people, right?
