At the beginning of the movie, it was said that it was filmed based on real events, so my heart has been hanging from the beginning. The story is very simple. It is about a fishing boat that encountered a storm while fishing, and was finally engulfed by the storm. It has always been Hollywood's strength to truly restore such disaster scenes. Unfortunately, I watched the discs at home with simple equipment. If this film is watched in a movie theater, it should have a stronger shocking effect.
In fact, what I like is the attitude of life shown in the film. The end of most people's lives can be indicated by a plain period, and some people can use an ellipsis, but only a very small number of people can end with an exclamation point. George Clooney played this kind of very few people, the captain of this fishing boat, a man who regarded the sea as his home. Like the captain's description of sailing and fishing, it must be a very happy thing for a person to turn one's hobbies into a career. A senior captain who can memorize nautical charts certainly understands the danger he will face better than anyone else, but he still enjoys it. Life is originally a gamble. There is no so-called heroism complex. It is enough to be able to face one's own choices calmly, to do everything, and to obey the fate.
I really like some scenes in the movie. For example, the fishing boat is driving in the blue sky and blue sea. For example, the crew seals the big fish caught in the cabin with ice.
Especially at the end of the film, all the people in the town cherish the memory of the six missing crew members in the church, and the background voice is still the dialogue of the crew members fighting against the disaster in the stormy sea, not complaining to each other, but encouraging and comforting each other. Gamble and lose. Even if this bet is life. This kind of treatment makes people feel that they are always alive.
