Disaster can ruin the best of everything

When I watched this movie for the first time, I was most impressed by the real special effects of the soaring flames and mud eruptions at the moment of the disaster in the movie, the use of a lot of mud, oil, flames and explosions. The sensory impact simply makes the audience "real to suffocate". The purgatory-like "sea of ​​fire of despair" in the film is the most realistic scene restored with the top Hollywood special effects. The evaluation given by the theater side is: "The special effects production of this film is in pursuit of a realm of 'selflessness', so that You are so immersed in the scene that you can't tell the difference between the real shot and the special effects." And all these gorgeous special effects strive to maximize the audience's experience of the crisis and panic that hangs on the line. "If you want to smash and tear an emotion, you must fully show its beauty at the beginning, so that you can clearly and deeply feel what we have lost." Mark's warm interaction with his wife and daughter at the beginning of the film , made the final reunion scene "prick the tears". In fact, the experiment done by my daughter has become a foreshadowing. The coke that spewed out could not be stopped. The dialogue also lays the groundwork for the audience. In this "doomsday escape", his wife and daughter are undoubtedly the biggest motivation for Mark to live, and the only belief in his heart is that he can see them again.

After the picture of the workers praying on the deck, there was a brief blank picture for a few seconds, and then everyone escaped the disaster and survived, but after Mark escaped, he had to face the families of the victims alone. In fact, he has tried his best to save people, but the result of death cannot be changed by him alone. In other words, he is also a victim, and his wife and daughter are also helping him Worry and worry, he's not a sinner, he's a hero. As AO Scott of The New York Times sighed, he said: "When you walk out of the theater, you feel anger, pain, and emotional catharsis, which is somewhat symbolic of the lack of justice in the real world. Make it up." The film is based on the 2010 U.S. Gulf of Mexico oil spill disaster. Peter Travers of "Rolling Stone" recalled after watching the film: "The film describes the shocking disaster of the largest oil spill in American history, and the director uses human empathy to reproduce the unbearable weight of life." The film's actor Mark Wahlberg also said: "This is one of the largest studios built in film history", and the theater staff was also very surprised: "The production team actually rebuilt the drilling well in the giant water tank. The platform.” Not only that, but even the monitors and buttons in the platform were actually moved from the rig. I have to mention that the film also invited senior oil workers who have been working for decades to watch the film. Many of the "oil workers" present had actually worked in such a dangerous environment and even participated in the rescue work of the same incident. In front of these most professional audiences, every detail of the film has withstood their test. Talk about the aftermath of the real event: BP settled with the U.S. government for $20.8 billion, which is the largest settlement in the history of the U.S. judicial authorities. The price that can be paid for this is 6,104 birds, 609 sea turtles, 100 dolphins All mammals including them died, or even became extinct...

At the end of the film, there is a video of a real event. Watching the statement made by a real historical figure in court, I really burst into tears, just like the one who still works in the oil industry after the Mexican oil spill. Said "Things they said would never happen, it happened." In the worst oil extraction incident in the United States, 11 people were killed, and their names were typed out at the end of the film. Wedding clips, some are childhood photos, each photo shows smiles, and now they have disappeared, behind these names are also flesh and blood people, other people's husbands, fathers or sons, and the prototype of the male protagonist is sitting Offstage, he never returned to sea in his life.

After watching this movie, I really can't describe the fluctuations in my heart in words.

    As far as the viewing experience is concerned, it is still good, standard disaster movies, such as watching the flames of the molten city, the precise details of tension and sadness and the laying out of professional technology, the cola demonstration is ingenious, but the problem lies in the disaster movie mode and real events cannot be Match, this is not a natural disaster after all, the explosion situation is listed, the flag is fluttering, the relatives hug, is it just like this! The type of action commercial entertainment is sorry for these people and these things

    First, this is not a deep sea, and deciphering the name tricked me into it. . Second, although it is a disaster film, it is difficult to cover up the mediocrity of the film. The continuous scenes + the rhythm of the highs and lows under a little control can also be very interesting. More than half of the first hour was "laying the ground" in professional terms, which made people sleepy. Third, if you want to focus on real events, you should focus on showing the root cause of the tragedy, but the movie failed to do that well. And I thought it was unnecessary to have a normal female character and finally return to the collapsed stereotype. over.
