"Do you want to die of old age, or of sickness, or of a storm?" If someone asks me that one day.
My hope is, "I don't have a choice about death, I just want the courage to face it."
Looking back at the film, the final tragic outcome is foreshadowed in the crew's conversation about the ice machine before they go to sea. "It will never be broken." The captain didn't expect it, the crew didn't expect it, and the ship owner didn't even think that his stinginess would ruin the crew's lives. As long as the ice machine is not broken, they can park in that safe area and not rush back in the storm. For fish, for money, it is understandable, this is their goal of going to sea. The captain did not expect this storm to be as dangerous as it has ever been. Did he die? By no means, his skills, his gritty character, he's a good captain. In the face of the storm, he did everything he could and was unafraid, embodying the qualities of a seasoned captain. No one can predict everything in the face of a storm. Tomorrow and accidents will come.
How can a sailor shrink back? How can walking on the road be compared to dancing on the wind and waves? He did what he could, and before returning, he even asked all the crew if they were going back. For the sake of dignity, although he deceived the crew and changed course, instead of going to the big coast, he went to Flamingsh, he had his reasons, as an experienced captain, the receipts were getting less and less, and then The harvest is not comparable to that of another female captain. Although the two have a relationship and concubine intentions, they are indeed a little separated because of the captain's self-esteem. If this fishing trip proves himself, maybe the two will be together. For the film, this is self-consistent. Who can fully predict what happens on the sea, and who dares to advance and retreat freely in front of death!
The captain and crew went to sea voluntarily, and no one forced anyone to go. They all have their own stories, some need money to live with a new girlfriend, and some need to support their ex-wives and children. Need to earn money to marry a wife home. The storm was unexpected, and the damage to the ice machine was unexpected. In terms of watching the movie, we can't go back and blame the captain for taking everyone's life. The fly in the ointment is why there is a branch line to describe the Coast Guard, which is not helpful to the main line. The danger of this storm and the death of the crew are enough to achieve the tragic effect of the film, and there is absolutely no need to talk about this branch line, because it is not necessary for the main line. development is hardly necessary. As a result, the plots at sea are insufficiently portrayed, the depression when the harvest is very small, and the portrayal of human nature in the face of the storm, all of which are not described in much space.
