As an ex-captain, I'm going to shoot the movie "Everything's Lost." There are few accurate depictions of sailing and sailing in this film.
The neglect of details for the sake of plot needs in movies and novels is nothing new. But there are too many nautical errors in "It's Lost," too. I'm confident that my ten years of sailing experience qualify me to comment, and here's my list of the film's worst mistakes:
At the beginning of the film, Robert Redford's unnamed protagonist's sailboat is caught in a drifting container. collision. The trunk tore a hole in the hull—a very unreasonable large hole. In such calm weather, the collision apparently caused only minor damage.
If the sea is really calm and the protagonist can easily jump on the container, then the hole on the yacht will not let the sea rush into the ship like in the film.
How can the unknown protagonist calmly open a can of beer after the boat has entered the water?
The protagonist has always been able to wear dry clothes. Where did this come from?
Why did the cushions in the boat dry out in an instant?
One night in the storm, the protagonist went to the deck without wearing a life jacket and wearing a seat belt, which would not be done by a normal crew member.
When the boat was about to sink, he was washed off the boat and climbed up from the side. is it possible? Why didn't he use the ladder that was installed in the stern?
When the protagonist throws out the life-saving island and ties the life-saving island leash to the boat, he can pull the life-saving island over and go up without a life jacket - but, at this time, the life-saving island is turned over, and he recharges the life-saving island When he was out of breath, he jumped into the sea and fought hard again, turning the life-saving island back over - everything shows that he is Superman!
Within minutes he had pinpointed his position with a sextant, how could it be. It took me a full year in school to learn to use this device. And there is no special positioning chart, and it is impossible to rely on the simple chart in his hand - TM is still doing it. He also had a ruler that came out of nowhere.
It's smart to take a bucket of fresh water with you when you abandon ship, but how does the sea water get into the airtight container (can anyone tell me)!
He should be more than 1,000 nautical miles away from the mainland in the movie. Why do we always see the outline of the land near the sea level occasionally when we watch movies?
As a container ship passed by at night, he fired off fireworks, but the ship passed by, turning a blind eye. In reality, there must be someone in charge of the lookout who sees it and takes rescue measures.
