Still a good movie

This is a huge loss film, with an investment of 400 million and a return of less than 40 million. I watched it a long time ago, and I have always been impressed, and many details are still lingering, so that I revisited it again in 2016. In the future, the world will be submerged by floods, human beings have learned to survive on water, and ancient history will be handed down orally. Kevin is a loner with a strong ability to survive at sea. When bartering at a supply point, he was involved in a dispute over land charts. When the pirates destroyed the supply point, he helped Helen and her adopted daughter escape. It shows the picture of marine survival society, such as sea trading, the status of women, huge mutant creatures, the value of resources, and reveals the shock of ancient society being covered by sea water. The story finally ends with Kevin helping the mother and daughter to kill the pirate base and find land. Kevin leaves again because he has adapted to the sea.
There are several points in the film that attract me: Kevin has evolved gills and can breathe in water, which is why he can get all kinds of items in the original world. After the living environment has changed drastically, whether human beings will mutate again, this should be certain, and there will always be people who can survive; in the establishment of maritime communities, people will always live in groups. , knowledge inheritance and masters have power; female status tends to nature, lineage is the first, ethnic groups will ask Kevin to sleep with their girls, absorb new blood, because of the defects of close relatives; there are lonely traders on the sea, adopting material The way of bartering, long-term drifting causes mental unhealthy, especially without sex, and seeing women cannot extricate themselves; pirates are a violent underworld organization in the water world, they have obtained some ancient weapons and equipment, and they live by looting. The leader is powerful and cruel. The magician, pretending to have foresight about the future, gathers a group of crazy people in the last days, and feels that no matter what human society is like, they will be generated accordingly. In this sense, human society is still just repeating reincarnation.
