The storyline is very simple and clear. But the main plots in it can find the shadow in life, and they are seated one by one, so they are quite touching.
1. The accident happened because the husband wanted to help his hydrophobic wife overcome the psychological barrier. Recklessly hugged his wife and jumped into the sea for a swim. As a result, I forgot to put down the boat's ladder. The six people who were swimming in the sea could no longer return to the boat. There are many examples of this in life, where the starting point is not bad, but after doing it self-righteously, the result may be completely different from the original intention of the beginning. cause irreversible consequences.
2. The one who panicked at first was Michelle, the lively and lovely woman, who was the girlfriend of the owner of the cruise ship. At first he complained endlessly, and then he tried to snatch the wife's life jacket. This is a typical example of sharing happiness and not sharing weal and woe. She was close to collapse at the beginning of the accident.
3. The first person to be injured was the husband who got into trouble. He was very active to solve the problem, diving to remove the propeller, and the dagger fell, and he dived deep to pick it up. Because he was holding his breath for too long, he came up too violently, and his head hit the propeller in a panic, causing serious injuries. When a person makes a mistake, he will make up for it in a panic, and in the process of making up, he will often make another mistake in a panic. Such a vicious circle. Misfortunes do not come singly. There are many situations that are caused by this.
4. The second accident happened to another man, Zach. He was madly stimulated by the blood of that husband. He took a dagger and stabbed frantically into an opening of the cruise ship. The owner of the cruise ship came to stop him. During the argument between the two, the dagger stabbed him in the abdomen, and he bled to death. Later, it turned out that he had his reasons for stabbing the cruise ship, but doing things on his own without explanation would also have serious consequences.
5. The third one who gave up her life was the woman who broke down first. The loss of two lives made her give up her hope of survival. In the face of despair, her fate was doomed.
6. The fourth person to leave is Zach's girlfriend Lauren, who should be said to be a very strong woman. The loss of 3 lives and the helplessness of 3 people made her decide to swim to find land. But the distance of more than 10 kilometers from the land, coupled with the loss of direction in the dark and the low temperature combined, although the film did not explain her ending, everyone knew it. However, we should still bless her. In the face of despair, she chose to face it bravely.
7. The fifth person who was injured was the owner Dan. He was actually a relatively calm person. He always advised everyone not to panic and discuss how to deal with the predicament they faced. But his words were not taken seriously, because he was always complained, and everyone felt that if he hadn't owned the boat, everyone would not have been in this situation. A ridiculous and reasonable reason. But the most ironic thing, he finally admitted that the boat was not his, but he borrowed it for vanity. He stopped the man from stabbing the boat, and it was also a subconscious action he took because he was worried that the boat would be damaged and he could not afford to pay. In the end, he grabbed the diving lens with his hand and inserted it into the seam of the boat to make steps, and let the wife climb onto the boat on his bloody hand. There are many people with such superficial beauty, especially in this era when the gap between the rich and the poor is gradually widening. But in the face of this kind of scenery piled up with lies and vanity, kindness and reckless taking risks are often just a thought for them.
8. The coolest is the wife Amy who has hydrophobia. Although the cry of the several-month-old baby on the boat tore her heart, she still managed to keep her head. She eventually crawled back to the cruise ship with the help of the "boat owner" after the others lost their lives in a panicked and hasty attempt. After she pressed down the ladder of the boat, she hurried to take care of her child, but she didn't care that the ladder was not in place, and the boat owner was unable to climb up because of his hand injury. He slipped into the depths of the sea. After the wife finally reacted, the "ship owner" was no longer there. She immediately jumped into the sea on a rainy night to save the unfortunate "ship owner". I think she should finally overcome her hydrophobia.
The entire movie is shrouded in an atmosphere of desperation, and everyone's nature is exposed to the greatest extent possible. In times of peace, in fact, everyone can imagine, if we were in this situation, what kind of people would we belong to?
PS: 2009.05.09
re-confirmed, there are two mistakes:
1. The owner "Dan" jumped into the water with Amy. Not her husband.
2. In the end, Dan did not come up because the ladder was not in place, but he chose to give up his life.
