Deep in the ocean

Through the last surviving narration, the film restores a series of thrilling scenes of hunting, being killed, stranded, and surviving. They have changed from hunters at the very beginning to survivors of the same kind who cannibalize each other, and they have gone from swimming in the ocean to being stranded in despair. In the movie, businessmen hunt and kill whales in the ocean for money, and exchange for money by obtaining whale oil. In order to reap more benefits, the standard for sailing sailors is constantly increasing. The sailors also hunted more whales in order to become a member of the so-called sailing family and become a higher-paid captain. They each chase and hunt in the ocean for their own benefit. The ocean is not only regarded by them. The hunting grounds in the bag are regarded as inexhaustible cash cows. Greed blinded their eyes, made them lose their minds, made them fearless, and made them bear the painful price.

  • Owen Chase: Benjamin, what are you doing?

    Benjamin Lawrence: He's dead. Putting him overboard, sir.

    Owen Chase: Look at me. Look at me, Benjamin. No right-minded sailor discards what might yet save him.

  • Old Thomas Nickerson: We were weeks in the doldrums. That part of the Pacific is more desert than ocean. The sun beating down.
