sailor

There have always been very few naval battle films. The main reasons are that they are expensive, expensive props, and small venues. It is difficult to switch between multiple scenes to give the audience a sense of freshness. Except for naval battle films like the Caribbean, it is also difficult to add heroines. As for women who like it Emotional scenes and fruit scenes that men like are even more difficult to arrange.

Well, I feel that the purpose of this drama is to make a classic and convey a spirit, not to attract attention. Realism is its style.
When I think of naval battle films, in addition to the Caribbean, there is also "Striking from the Bottom of the Sea". Coincidentally, the styles of the two films are very similar, realistic, and the rhythm is not very fast, but if you watch carefully, you will feel very attractive, and Every time you rewatch it, you will feel different, and you will be even more surprised when you start to look up some information seriously.

I like the director's shots and rhythm very much. It starts with the night before dawn, with long cables, full sails, hammocks, crowded aisles (reminds me of a naval joke), hourglasses, small clocks, all at once It will make you feel really back in the 18th century. In such a small space, the use of the camera lens is also very clever, and the various plots are clearly explained without procrastination.
Several deaths were painful at the time, but they were not rendered and exaggerated, which was consistent with the realistic style of the entire film. Just like our real life, no matter who, no matter how much you like or dislike, it will eventually die, including ourselves, all will die, and for those who are alive, life will continue.
For the friendship of the captain and the doctor, it just goes so far. I want to explain, I think the captain later ordered to stop the ship to treat the doctor, not only because of friendship, the importance of being the only doctor on a ship is self-evident, of course, in the original book, the doctor is a member of the intelligence department, The actual status is higher than the captain, which may explain why the doctor is always lazy and uncooperative when facing the emperor on this ship. I am very thankful that the director did not give a secret explanation, nor did he arrange for two men to hug each time like a director in China.

People who go to sea are very superstitious, because before and now, the risks of going to sea are very great. One or two deaths are trivial, infectious diseases, capsize (it seems to be used very frequently now), and everyone is finished. Therefore, there are almost no people who go to sea who do not worship God, and there are many taboos on the boat. I will not go into details here. If you are interested, you can find them yourself. There is a sentence in the previous film review that I like very much, saying that now I know what it means to be on the same boat, yes, we are in the same boat, the wind and the rain are heavy, but it is difficult to resist the feelings of a man, in the wind and rain, this pain, what is it? .

The box office is not very good, and it also makes the sequel almost impossible. But a man's feelings, I believe that many people will never forget. A professional, down-to-earth, profound and subtle way of expressing masculinity finally refreshes the environment surrounded by beautiful men and pseudo-girls. Aside from ideology, the idea of ​​this film is as broad as a man's mind.
