The courage to live to death

The hostess Nancy yearned for this Secret beach, because that place was where her mother had been when she was pregnant with her. Her mother died of illness, and she needed to go back there and find where she came from-since she couldn't find her mother, the beautiful beaches she had visited made Nancy expect.

On this beach, the mother is beautiful like clear water, and her smile is like sunshine.

In the front of the film, the beautiful sea is so beautiful that it shows the surfing sport so perfectly, it's a big picture. It's like the most beautiful scene when Nancy's mother was alive.

However, on this beach, Nancy, in addition to meeting the Fanghua Zhengmao of her mother's life, went straight to experience her mother's struggle in her illness. After the shark appeared, in order to survive, Nancy had to risk the danger and jump into the sea again and again, either to grab the camera, swim to the lighthouse, or get back the lighting bullet.

Until the end, Nancy had no choice, and roared and shot the flares at the shark, leading the shark to the bottom of the sea. I believe that at that moment, she should have understood her father’s evaluation of her mother: “she is a fighter.”

Before this, Nancy questioned her decision to choose medicine and did not accept her father’s decision to take her mother away due to illness. The assessment of "Mother is a fighter".

In that shark beach, like a mother, she burst out with the greatest courage, unwillingness, anger, wisdom and fearlessness in the danger of death. It's just that she survived, maybe she never thought she would survive. Because of the courage to die, she understands that her mother is a fighter regardless of life or death.

This film is a film that touches me. The beautiful scenery touches me. Blake Lively's beauty and increasingly mature acting skills touch me. A film where one person plays the leading role alone to survive is a challenge to acting. The theme of sharks is an old-fashioned theme, but this film did not allow sharks to constantly eat people or all kinds of bloody cannibals. It has a degree of relaxation. It should be said that the creativity is wonderful.
