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. . .
