When I look at the movie title "Blackmail in the Caribbean", I will mistake it for one of the famous Pirates of the Caribbean movies. Many people think it is a blockbuster, but I think this is a low-cost but well-made movie. No need at all, because it is not inferior to a blockbuster, but more real, moving and memorable.
After watching a lot of scenes, the scenes are very exciting and magnificent, but the plot is cliché and even absurd popcorn blockbusters. People are just repetitive entertainment. When people feel a certain degree of vision and heart, we need to calm down and taste a cup of tea. Sit in front of the screen, watch a movie that touches the soul, and let the soul travel.
"Caribbean Ransomware" is a movie worth thinking about, with a strong sense of substitution!
Watching the first half of the movie, I often blame the hero and heroine in my mind, why can't I find a way to find food and water on a desert island, or make clean drinking water myself? Haven't you seen Survival on a Desert Island? If the hero and heroine have one-tenth of Bell's survival skills, they should be able to live happily on the desert island for a while, right?
When I think this way, I do ignore some facts. According to the plot, they are ordinary people after all. In the face of sudden encounters, the first thing that comes to mind is to escape rather than adapt, not to mention their son's physical condition does not allow it. From this point of view, the plot of the movie is closer to reality, and my ideas are somewhat lacking. After such reflection, I gradually entered the inner world of the hero.
At the beginning of the movie, the male protagonist and his wife and children go abroad for vacation and play. They are trapped on an unknown desert island in the vast sea. There is no food or direct drinking water source, and the child has symptoms of dehydration. The wife's mental and physical condition also not good. The male protagonist tried every means to seek help, but the life-saving straw (the ship in the distance) disappeared in front of his eyes, and the condition of his wife and children was getting worse and worse. At this time, he felt a little desperate.
Just at this moment, another fishing boat passed by the deserted island. The male protagonist tried his best to cry out for help. A fisherman with dark skin and thin body and disgusting face came, and at first glance, he was not a good person. The so-called face comes from the heart, this fisherman is indeed greedy and hateful, and he will be paid as soon as he comes up, and he will be 1 million US dollars when he opens his mouth, and he cannot bargain.
The male protagonist has no choice but to agree to the other party's request, and then he is knocked unconscious by the odious fishermen and taken away, leaving the female protagonist and the child to die on the desert island. For the sake of his family, the male protagonist was reluctantly controlled and blackmailed by fishermen. After calling his relatives and friends, he borrowed about $200,000.
The abominable fishermen must be laughing at the hero's desperation at this time, and 200,000 US dollars is not a lot, so they asked for money, but they were not allowed to keep their promises, and locked the hero in the cab of a fishing boat. The fishermen pierced the hull with a harpoon to drown the male protagonist to avoid future troubles.
In this way, the abominable fishermen faced the doubts of their companions, did not turn back, and stepped into the hell of greed step by step.
Besides, the male protagonist escaped from the cab, was not drowned, and was rescued by passing tourists. Since then, the film has entered a climax period, with waves of contradictions and conflicts.
First, the local police questioned the actor's motives, suspecting that the actor wanted to defraud a huge amount of insurance compensation, and then the American ambassador and the local police made a decision to delay the action based on a calm analysis of the rescue mission.
The family's life is racing against time. The hero can't sleep at night and decides to find a way to rescue his family. He follows the clues to find the fisherman's residence. The fisherman accidentally kills his daughter, and he loses his life in the fight with the hero. under the knife.
The male protagonist was controlled by the local police for murder. The local police determined that the male protagonist had bad motives and canceled the search and rescue of his family. The male protagonist could not prove that he did not murder but was just in self-defense. In order to save his family, he took risks and hijacked the police and fled the hospital.
There is a scene in the movie where a black police officer points a gun at the male protagonist and asks him to surrender, but the male protagonist continues to flee regardless of his own safety. The black police officer watched the male protagonist leave regardless of life and death. The black police officer chose not to shoot. The movie was frozen with this. Perhaps due to the pressure of American politics, I would prefer to explain that the black police officer believed that the male protagonist did not lie.
From the odious fishermen to the local police, the life and death of the hero and his family are on the minds of others, and in the face of greed and doubt, life can be shattered at any time in a storm. On the surface, it is the direct contradiction between poverty and wealth, skin color and race, pay and interests, and the deeper level is the indifference and darkness of human nature, jealousy and selfishness. But there are also bright spots in human nature, so the black police officer did not pull the trigger, and the loathsome fisherman's companion pointed out the location of the deserted island when he was dying. This is the dazzling flash point of human nature, the hero's outlook on life, and the choice the movie wants to tell us.
Throughout the entire film, the plot revolves around the word "choice".
First of all, the fishermen chose to blackmail and kill, selling their humanity in exchange for a happy future for themselves and their families. Furthermore, the black police officer did not shoot at a critical moment, he chose to trust. And the male protagonist has been making big and small choices. He can choose to get a large amount of insurance compensation, without having to be killed many times; he can choose to rely on the police to search and rescue his family without having to sacrifice his life to track down and rescue his family. Search and rescue; he can choose to drive to the pier, instead of choosing to endure the pain on foot and leave the car to the seriously wounded who need it the most... The
male protagonist has positive energy, and he made his own answer in the multiple-choice questions in life. , won everyone's approval and a bright future for himself and his family, but such an ending only happened in the movie, how many people in reality choose to extort and deceive others for the sake of profit? How many people in reality have bad people karma? How many good people are actually hurt? The truth of the answer is often sad, so why do we choose to be good people? I think it's just like the male protagonist in the movie: choose from your heart and have a clear conscience!
