It is not important that the storm is not perfect, the director pays more attention to the profound meaning?

In order to render the cruelty of nature and the insignificance of human beings, the film spends most of the front part of the film describing the family life of the crew, and while I am still trying to remember the characters and the main plot, they hit the road, and then Just hang up! ! ! In fact, even if there is not so much elaboration, it will not affect our viewing of dramas. Every family has scriptures that are difficult to read, and everyone's life is priceless. These concepts are deeply rooted in people's hearts, which is why the 512 Congress During the earthquake, many people watched the news broadcast and cried.

In addition, this film is really counterintuitive, which makes me very depressed:

When I saw several crew members follow the captain firmly towards the fish-rich corner of the dead, I thought the end would be that they came home full of rewards.

When I saw the storm coming and they were still going strong, I thought they would overcome the storm.

When I saw that the storm continued to expand and many people's dissuasion was ineffective, I thought they would never turn around.

When I saw the rescue planes make an emergency landing, I thought they would be rescued by the fleet.

However, the director was probably trying to get along with us on purpose, the gods and horses didn't follow our hearts, and I couldn't believe they were all dead until the cast showed up. . .

    Well, it proves that the words have to die...

    The film tried to show a kind of high spirit inherent in the human soul, trying to dig deeper relationships between people under the infinitely powerful and unpredictable power of nature, but neither did it successfully.

The Perfect Storm quotes

  • Linda Greenlaw: [at the services for the crew of the Andrea Gail] I knew Billy Tyne, but I did not know his crew very well, but any man who sailed with him, must have been the better for it. Robert Shatford, Dale Murphy, Micheal Moran, David Sullivan, Alfred Pierre... May you rest easy long-liners, in fair winds, and calm seas... For those of us left behind, the vast unmarked grave which is home for those lost at sea is no consolation. It can't be visited, there is no headstone on which to rest a bunch of flowers... The only place we can revisit them, is in our hearts, or in our dreams. They say swordboatmen suffer from a lack of dreams, that's what begets their courage... Well we'll dream for you: Billy, and Bobby, and Murph, Bugsy, Sully, and Alfred Pierre... Sleep well... Good Night...

  • Linda Greenlaw: [in the bridge of the Andrea Gail] I saw your guys loading bait. You doing a turnaround?

    Captain Billy Tyne: No rest for the weary.

    Linda Greenlaw: There you go. Flaunting your work ethic.

    Captain Billy Tyne: I don't have a work ethic. I just have work... If I'm going to catch up to you.
