After watching "Abyss", I found that it was released in 1989, 30 years ago. At that time, the director actually had such a sci-fi imagination, which is really amazing. At the beginning, a submarine in the United States was finally wrecked by an unknown creature, and the military sent people and personnel on the diving rig to rescue. At that time, when the military promised to pay three times the wages of these drilling rig workers, many people happily agreed. This is a very normal thing, but at that moment I felt that something must happen next. A little greedy temptation! This is a normal foreshadowing. In this film, two people who behave abnormally out of fear are very touching to me. When the protagonist Bud took a man named Jack to the submarine to check if there were any survivors, Jack's fear of the dead was brought to life by the director's camera. Indeed, what the camera showed at that time were those who died with their eyes open. They were like wax statues, expressionless, with rigid limbs, and some even had sea creatures such as hermit crabs crawling from their mouths due to the passage of time. Creeping in and out is really creepy. Jack is very real when he sees these scenes, gasping for breath and unable to move forward. At that moment, he felt that he was so tightly bound by fear that he couldn't control his body at all, and it could be seen that the power of his heart was really too great. I remembered a sentence from the guide: The heart of fear cannot bloom the flower of Bodhi. Where does fear come from? Get in the way. Where does the trouble come from? Obsession to come. Indeed, I think the source of everything is fear, and fear comes from obsession. I'm thinking if I was in a situation like that, maybe I'd be as terrified as Jack. Because of the same fear, Jack's performance particularly resonated with me. Jack was afraid because he was frightened by the appearance of those who died. In fact, we living people live by this skin, but the soul in the skin of the dead is no longer there. We living people come to the world through such a pair of skins and are constantly reincarnated. Thinking of the health preservation mentioned in the guide, if we just raise this pair of skins, we are actually raising death, because it will eventually die, and no one can live forever. Thinking about it this way, the fear of life and death seems to be less intense. The second person to express particular fear was Lieutenant Coffey, who had always believed that the mysterious object under the sea was a Soviet conspiracy. (I didn't realize that the film was quite old until the wording of the Soviet Union came out.) So, he also showed all kinds of behaviors after being seized by fear. For example, he wants to use nuclear warheads unloaded from submarines against unknown objects in the depths of the ocean . Because fear trapped him deeply, his thinking was already a little disordered, and his spirit was a little abnormal. Even when he was afraid, he actually scratched his wrist with a knife. He also irrationally used guns to force Bud and his party into submission, driving the submarine to the death with what he believed to be Soviet agents. After a life-and-death fight, Coffey's submarine fell into the abyss, and finally burst due to unbearable pressure. Just before he knew that he was about to die, Coffey let out a heart-piercing cry, which was also full of extremes. of fear. I think the great fear before his death must have made him fall into the real "abyss". Of course, the whole film also talks about soft and loving emotions. When encountering mysterious creatures, Bud's wife Lingsi is completely accepting and friendly, so mysterious creatures can also feel Lingsi's friendliness and show that friendly response. In the end, Bud risked his life to dismantle the lead of the nuclear bomb. With almost no chance of survival, this mysterious high-IQ creature in the depths of the sea saved his life. After the miracles happened again and again on the edge of life and death, Bud and Lingsi also reconnected, cherished each other more, and the rest were rescued. The film is a happy ending. It is said that this is Cameron's consistent handwriting. I don't know, but I think it is still good! Green Sleeves2020.04.04
