A movie without a main character

Many people like to compare this movie with the day after tomorrow, but I haven't seen it, so I won't comment on the movie, but will talk about my thoughts on Shuixiaowudu.
In my opinion, the film processing method is still special. As far as the film itself is concerned, it is fictional (theoretically speaking, it is abstract art), but it uses a realistic photography method - the form of documentary filming, This kind of processing method will also cause the concealment of the protagonist in the movie. In short, the protagonist is not obvious, and whoever is the protagonist, but at the same time, because the protagonist is not obvious, it is easier to guide us into the movie objectively. So I think it seems a little bit wrong if someone thinks that the characters in the movies are not distinct, because in fact many characters have distinct characteristics, but we can't compare the movie characters in the form of documentaries with the movie characters in the drama films, because the drama films There must be a distinct protagonist, and a documentary can have none.
The text of the film itself is actually relatively simple and easy to understand - it tells the story of a storm surrounded by floodwaters, flowing into the Thames along the east coast of England, and ravaging London, the foggy capital of the United Kingdom. The flood control dam, which the British people are proud of, failed to work. The flood flooded into London, causing huge losses, displacing millions of people, and killing hundreds of thousands of people. London. It's a pity that the film lacks compactness. Although the director added a foreshadowing when stating important events, such as the use of planes to blow up a flood control dam to create a tense atmosphere, but in general, some of the foreshadowing lacks tension, and many of the foreshadowing are of the same nature - using floods to cause danger , which will obviously make the audience feel dull and easily cause the film to be unsmooth, cumbersome and evacuated.
In the end, I don’t want to talk about stunts. I don’t like to watch stunt films. In my opinion, the best movies are those that stimulate thinking with many contradictions, not those that attract attention by stunts. . Stunts are nothing but an aid to movies
