1. Strong physique.
2. Rich knowledge of life.
3. Tenacious willpower, especially the use of virtual WELSON to strengthen positive self-suggestion.
4. Very high professionalism and sense of professional responsibility (this makes him leave himself a reason to live)
5. Not letting go of any chance of survival. This includes two factors: one is not to give up the hope of going home, and the other is It was before the opportunity to escape that he had made the necessary preparations. Opportunities are only reserved for those who are prepared.
6. Feeling and righteous. Without a sense of responsibility, how can it be necessary to endure so much pain to live?
The following is my expanded analysis. If you haven't watched this movie, it is better to communicate after watching the movie. ^_^
Chak finally survived four years after living on the deserted island. There are many favorable objective conditions; the following are a few of my observations: For
example, he was killed while escorting express delivery goods, and there were others who drifted to the deserted island at the same time. Some goods are available, the most useful ones are roller skates and video tapes; for
example, this deserted island is in the subtropical Pacific Ocean. The four seasons are unclear and will not freeze to death in winter (he died on Christmas, but he can wear it on the island. Single clothes, and I haven’t seen him wearing anything in four years); For
example, this is a desert island, there are no other animals except seafood, and they will not be poisoned by poisonous insects or eaten by wild wolves; for
example, there is a shelter Holes; for
example, coconuts can hold fresh water; for
example, bark can be used as rope; for
example, the appearance of the "sail"; for
example, a freighter passed by him before he died of thirst!
However, Chak was not rescued because of luck. Clever, rich knowledge of survival, and tenacious willpower are the keys to his survival.
Before the plane crash, he skillfully took the oxygen mask and hugged the lifeboat package. After entering the water, the package could be successfully opened. In the inflatable boat, he would be thrown around by the waves. He knew how to fasten the rope to avoid being thrown away— —It shows that these movements have been practiced, and he did not treat them carelessly when practicing!
On an isolated island, just being afraid is useless. After solving the problem of drinking water, I know how to check the surrounding environment. First, walk to both sides of the beach to see how far you can go (don't forget to bring water, smart), and find a cave on the way. After being unable to walk on both sides, he climbed up to the commanding heights and looked down at the surrounding area. Only then did he discover that it was a small island.
Here is a small detail. He wrapped his clothes around his head and put on clothes on his body. It should be to prevent sunburn. He is really smart and probably has relevant education.
After picking up his companion’s body, he almost burst into tears. The person with weak willpower was already scared and desperate. He also had a series of nightmares until he collapsed. After taking off his flashlight and leather shoes, Chak carefully dug a hole to bury his companion. Before the burial, I did not forget to put the family photo in the deceased’s wallet in the deceased’s shirt pocket. After the burial, the tombstone was carved. It was very thoughtful.
The flashlight quickly ran out of electricity. In order to survive, Chak had to unpack the express parcels no matter how much he cares for them to survive. Here is a detail. Chak saw that there was a pair of angel wings on the last package. He thought about it and didn't open it—until he finally left, he seriously wrapped the package in a waterproof lifeboat and tied it to the raft and took it away. I was puzzled about this detail at the time. I finally understood it. The pair of angel wings aroused the hope in Chuck's heart. He hoped that he could be rescued, at least to live until he delivered the package to his destination. This behavior is positively related to Chak's professionalism. The initial plot confessed that Chak is a courier worker who is super dedicated and has a sense of time.
(I deduced that the last package was not delivered to the destination, but sent back to the sender’s house, and then thanked the sender for sending such a package at the time, which became his belief in survival, because that person’s yard was full of the wing logo, and he observed When Ke left four years ago, he wanted to ship American goods elsewhere.)
Then came the section where the fire was lit. The original motivation for the fire was to ask for help and to grill crabs. The actual use was to heat up and illuminate the cave at night (he ate raw fish directly in the back, perhaps to save fuel). The process of making a fire is the most representative of Chak's willpower. He tried several methods unsuccessfully, so he was restless, finally furious when his hands were bleeding, and gave up for a while. This is the smartest behavior that happened-Chak painted the volleyball that was not only used for making a good volleyball into a human face with blood, then put the volleyball next to him, and let the volleyball WELSON watch him make a fire. He looked at WELSON and talked to WELSON from time to time to motivate himself to continue trying. He finally succeeded, relying on him to come up with such a way to motivate himself, that is, to virtual a partner on this deserted island and strengthen self-suggestion by communicating with it.
(Another supporter of Chuck’s survival is his fiancée Kelly. Chuck looks at the picture of Kelly in his pocket watch every day and paints the portrait on the cave wall. But Chuck doesn’t talk to the photo, that’s not At this moment, the partner who shares the adversity with him is his hope of survival. Popularity is the spiritual pillar.)
Why is Chak so inseparable from WELSON? One of the important reasons is that he organizes his thoughts by speaking to WELSON. , With the help of verbal expression (imaging thinking) to promote abstract thinking activities. On the wall, he showed to WELSON how unlikely he was to be rescued after living on the island. He told WELSON about his good memories of the past (of course the memories of Kelly), and he told WELSON during the tense moment of piercing the raft. Explain his schedule... If there were no such listeners, Chak would actually be crazy to death early because of his super loneliness... So when he loses WELSON, he will be so sad, as if we were hurt. Like the best friends who are most willing to listen to us.
In addition to the "sail", the key reason that prompted Chak to decide to flee to the sea was his rich common sense of life and a strong sense of time.
He does not have a watch or a calendar, but he can determine the year and month by recording the angle of sunlight entering the cave;
he knows how to tie a raft and how to put it in the water;
He will use the bark to weave a strong rope. Even if the tape is used in the end, he does not forget to weave the tape into a rope and reuse it;
he knows how to use the wind direction, the key is that he also knows what month to wind through records and common sense of geography Feng, and with the information before the crash, he can figure out which way he should escape;
the ability to collect fresh water and fish allows him to survive on the raft, and so on.
The last thing is the American spirit that he exudes: perseverance, not persevering, and daring to take risks. We Orientals sometimes inevitably stay indecisive and stand still. We really have to learn from this boldness-not reckless, but to try it once with full preparation!
As for Chuck's calm and rational approach to gains and losses after returning to the real world, I won't say much. In fact, looking back on the previous plot, you will find that Chak's final handling is indeed logical. What Chuck most admires Kelly is his maturity, perseverance, decisiveness, intelligence and other male qualities. It is these qualities that he possesses that make him live to the moment of being saved, and it is precisely because he possesses these qualities that he can Will endure the intense sadness and send Kelly back to his husband.
Knowing when to sacrifice and making sacrifices gracefully is a sign of maturity.
There is another detail that I particularly like, that is, on the plane back home, Chuck said to his old friend very seriously, I am not here when you are most difficult, I am sorry, I should be by your side to support you . A person who has just fled back to reality from a deserted island has such a sense of responsibility that he has enough friends in his life.
Recommend it if you feel good, thank you!
