Courage in the sea

"The Perfect Storm" is a quintessentially American thriller and disaster, and it has all the elements of a film of its kind. Such as fixed disaster scenes; each character's own background; of course, the grand and spectacular special effects. Although a bit cliché, it's still a classic of its kind, and I think there are a few reasons why.

First of all, the description of the characters in the film is very meticulous. Whether it is the protagonist or the supporting role, the audience is given a certain explanation. For example, Bobby, who just divorced his wife, needs to pay legal fees to the lawyer who helped him in the lawsuit. At the same time, he also Murphy, who needs money to build a new life with a new girlfriend; Murphy, who needs money to support his increasingly estranged wife and daughter; Bagos, who wants to earn money for a wife; Ordinary people with relatively low social status bear heavier family and economic burdens, and because of this, they resolutely chose to move forward in the face of the storm, which laid the groundwork for the second half of the film, which played a very good role. The role of sensational and exaggerating the atmosphere.

In addition, the film focuses on their solidarity and courageous collaborative spirit in their fight against the storm. From the unpleasant spat between Murphy and his teammates before the storm to the later release of the two, it reflects the changes in the entire team. At the end of the film, we don't hear anyone. Complaints, as Bobby said: "At least we all tried." For this, they deserve to be respected by people.

As for the Captain Billy played by George Clooney, it is a highlight of the film. This man whose home is the sea, his courage, wisdom and leadership always infect his fellow crew members. He likes his song about the sea very much. Poetry describes the ocean so beautifully and so tenderly. However, the born leader was destined to belong to the sea, to paraphrase The Legend of Autumn: "He died well."

    The opening scene is the Shura Wharf where fish carcasses are stored. The memorial wall for the deceased is a preview of the whole film. The characters are created in the first half hour, which is nothing more than a re-indoctrination of family values, adding conflicts between the crew (the lines are written in a playful manner), and the role of the female captain is not only adjusted Make the second half more three-dimensional. The maritime scenes are mainly performed by Industrial Light and Magic, and cooperate with other ships and rescue teams to rescue themselves, so that the process will not be boring. When the truth cannot be tested, the screenwriter is great. good rhythm
