Strange Three Views: Altruistic Heroism and Ruthless Egoism

The look of this movie is really weird.

Three of four teammates died, and one child was saved - it seems that filmmakers all over the world follow the rule of not killing children and dogs.

The three teammates who died, those who took the initiative to look for the oxygen tank of the sunken ship, those who took the initiative to release the buoy for help, and those who took the initiative to give up and wait to die are all too heroic. The problem is that as soon as the hero here has an accident, the friends over there quickly cut off the oxygen supply, lest the remaining amount is not enough to survive. It's rational, why do you feel a little disgusting?

Mitch was too indecisive and passive in choosing a self-help plan, not like the team leader. Matthew's eyes are in place, and the sense of fear in the depths of his eyes can see through the screen at station B. But the voice is much worse, listening to his lines, I feel that it is several levels worse than the eyes. If you don't look at the screen, those despairing and flustered lines still sound like a British gentleman in the summer sun.

In "The Good Wife", just after Will died, a big client came to the law firm and asked to reassign lawyers. How did Diane respond? "You are fired!" The big client threatened to go to law firm A, Diane said, I called law firm A, they won't want you! The big client panicked and said, I will go to Law Firm B. Diane said, I contacted law firm B, and they wouldn't want you either! They all love Will!

This is it. Rationality does not equal coldness. For cold people, we should hold a negative and critical attitude, and film and television works should convey such three views. Pressure does a particularly bad job at this point, placing altruistic heroism and extreme ruthless egoism in the same person—no, the same two people. It’s so awkward.

Pressure quotes

  • Engel: A man goes to sea for many reasons. Perhaps to sense its beauty and stare at the infinite horizon that offers no questions, seeks no answers. Perhaps to stand in awe of its power, savagery, grace. This is all true, but there are also those who go to sea ultimately because they are lost and never want to be found.
