Very good old movie. George Clooney plays a somewhat conceited captain who leads his crew to challenge the god of the sea, and eventually perishes at the bottom of the sea. In the process of watching the film, I kept wondering if the female captain indirectly caused their deaths. Because Billy can't stand the taunting of her boss and the fact that she's best at being beaten by a woman, she's desperate to run to Flemming Cap.
Is it all such conceit and overreaching behind the tragedy of personal heroism? Is there such a core behind every drama that can be called a "story"? But this is actually a demonstration of the belief and determination of man to conquer the sky. Although it ended in a tragic failure, as Hemingway said: a man can be destroyed, but he cannot be defeated.
