Many viewers of this film have a consensus. Although, this is a real event. But the protagonists almost went out to sea in the situation of ten deaths and no life. Reckless, not brave. My opinion is a little different. The so-called hero is a person who is able to charge ahead in this extreme environment, regardless of gains and losses, and has the courage to take on responsibility, so as to awaken other people's recognition of the value of life and restore hope to the world. Simply put, they are the ones who create miracles. From this point of view, it doesn't even matter whether it is successful or not. Just like Yue Fei, Wen Tianxiang, Yu Qian, etc. in China. In the face of the monstrous calamity coming from the opposite side. Being able to rise up in the face of danger, turn the tide after the fall, even if he fails and dies, is still enough to keep his name alive for eternity. Not to mention the fact that he can successfully come back, it is a glorious miracle like the birth of Jesus into the world. It is not too much to praise. But why, like Saving the Privates, Hacksaw Ridge, and this movie, are movies that are obviously true events. Are you questioned when you arrive in China? In my opinion this is a question of social values.
From ancient times to the present, the heroes of Chinese official propaganda are basically dead. Some die halfway through success. Such as Yue Fei, Zhuge Liang, etc. Some died after success, such as Yu Qian. Modern ones such as Lei Feng, Huang Jiguang, etc. are also martyrs who were chased after they died. Therefore, in the subconscious of the Chinese people, there is a causal relationship between heroes and death. If a person wants to live, he is not qualified to be a hero. Therefore, heroes like Hacksaw Ridge or the protagonist of this film who succeed but do not die seem strange to the Chinese and cannot be accepted. In fact, there is no necessary connection between heroes and death. In ancient times, there were many heroes who succeeded but did not die, such as Ban Chao from the Western Regions. Even for Yu Qian, there is no necessary connection between his heroic deeds and his death. But the subtext of those in power emphasizing the link between heroes and death is: When a hero, the end is death. It is not so much a tribute to heroes as it is a threat to the people. And from the reality of today's society, this threat is successful.
Another reason is the embodiment of the values that represent everything in business society. Everything has to be considered from an economic point of view. Otherwise it is ignorant and outdated. Look at this event from this perspective. Pig feet are downright stupid. It's good to save people, but it's another thing to take your own life almost securely. If the pressure of the leadership order is too great, the big deal is to resign. Better than dying. And it is an unforgivable mistake to ignore the leader's orders later. Doesn't this mean that the merits that he has worked so hard to earn are abolished. Is it important for a few lives to be favored by leaders? The most hateful thing is that these people completely ignore the laws of nature, and the waste youth who made almost every step wrong actually managed to get things done in the end. Not only were everyone saved, but no one himself died. This is simply insane. Why not hate itchy teeth. Netizens who hold this kind of values completely forget that these are just their own values. They are just subjective evaluations, not natural laws. Not believing does not mean ignorance, and believing is not smart. Maybe it's just selfishness and cowardice. There are people in the world other than your self-serving soft-footed prawns.
So, what kind of theories and values are these heroic actions driven by? The speech of the youngest member of the Pig's Knuckle team made it clear to me: someone has to go out and bring them back. It's that simple.
