Before oil, the fuel for human society came from the ocean-whale oil. Sperm whale Fangzheng's head holds very high-quality whale brain oil. Its smokeless flame quickly made it a consumption habit, and in 1846, it had reached the culmination of the whale oil crisis. The excavation of kerosene (or the birth of the oil industry) temporarily saved the last sperm whales and other cetaceans.
The period from 1820 to 1860 was the golden age of the whaling industry in the United States. As many as 250,000 sperm whales were killed. Extending time to the entire 20th century, the total number of whales killed was 2.9 million. There are only three remaining sperm whales (sorry I did not find the exact remaining number).
I have always disliked the main theme, but after watching this film, I sincerely feel that a team lacks tacit understanding, distrusts each other, and has a stubborn, self-sufficient airborne leader. What a terrible disaster; at the same time, an uncoordinated inheritance of virtue, yes What a devastation is a person who is powerless but has a sense of shame.
Fortunately, after ninety days of co-existence and death, the captain finally did not transfer all the responsibility to the first mate like the first conflict, and stood with him, choosing to announce the cruelest facts in the process of death and survival.
Everyone is equal before life and death. There is no overpowering of the weak and no selfish desires. To a certain extent, it is the righteousness of the "upper" class with guns that has maintained the final order. It is not accidental that there are still alive after ninety days of drifting.
