One of the climaxes of the movie that moved me was when Carl walked twelve steps in a diving suit with a prosthetic leg and a 290-pound body. When he couldn't hold on to the ninth step, his boss's encouragement aroused his belief, and the boss talked about it at this time. what they said in their first diving class at the diving school. "Come on, step forward. You owe me twelve steps! Navy divers are not fighters, they are experts. He is responsible for finding what is lost on the bottom of the sea. He is responsible for picking up what is sinking. He's in charge of the removal. With luck, he'll die at 200 feet. Because that's the bare minimum to be a hero, don't know why anyone would want to be a diver. Report to me on this line, buddy!" Utilize Such a looping artistic approach brings the atmosphere here to its climax. The goal achieved by such an artistic technique is that, in Carl's last twelve steps to success, the director can instantly turn the film's The epitome of all the hardships of Carl's pursuit of his ideals are condensed in these twelve steps, grasping the audience's senses, and embodying the limited and endless artistic beauty.
Although this movie is a more classic inspirational film. But what I appreciate more about it is its detailed description of a person's mentality in the face of various harsh environments. What it expresses is different from the hype of success at the end of ordinary inspirational films, emphasizing that hard work brings success. Thoughts, but teach us how to face failures, setbacks, and when we cannot be recognized, how to stick to our beliefs, and how to continue chasing our dreams. In our current society, the pressure is too great, and as Lin Xi said, "Inspirational films with a sure victory in the end have numbed our nerves, excitedly forgetting to prepare for failure, forgetting the limits of steel will, and need to be flexible and flexible. strength to complement each other." The film "Dive in the Furious Sea" finally demobilized Carl, and the ending was not unexpected. This is also the ending of an inspirational film. But after that, the subtitles scrolling on the screen indicated that Carl had been laid off for eight years after his demobilization. These statements made people think for a longer time. For Carl, working for eight more years is more important than his life, which is his unremitting efforts. And the reason for being recognized by others, and for most of us, sometimes people often don’t see how important a result is, and are instigated to work harder, go on, go on, go on, go on, and what you get in the end is not what you expect. , Lost is above all, regret for life. The gains and losses of these pursuits are worth pondering. In addition, when Carl pursues his ideals, the film also depicts from the side that as Carl's wife, facing her husband's pursuit of career without caring about herself and her family, she is helpless and bears the burden of the entire family. Maybe we should think like Carl, can we only consider ourselves in our life, and the pursuit of success is destined to be more important than everything else? Yes, at the last moment Carl's wife was present and showed more joy than anyone else, but Carl still only pursued himself, and he never cared about his family. It is true that life is not a game of calculating gains and losses, but we should consider a lot of things, and we can't just learn the protagonists of inspirational films. This is probably the gap between ideal and reality, art and reality.
