Industrial Civilization Requiem

The huge white sperm whale (Moby Dick) in "Moby Dick" has many translation names, among which my favorite translation name is "Moby Di", which is full of domineering. From the description of the novel, Mobi Di may be a sea monster two or three times bigger than an ordinary whale. This is of course another famous image suitable for jumping into film multiple times, but "Deep Ocean" is based on the original story of "Moby-Dick" - Nathaniel's famous non-fiction, so it lacks a lot of romance. Adventure atmosphere, adding a lot of realistic portrayal. In the context of the Great Leap Forward of the Industrial Revolution, with limited physical conditions, human beings have devoted themselves to the infinite conquest of the ocean. This is indeed an era that makes countless good men passionate! ! It is against this background that Brother Hammer (Chris Hemsworth) shouted out his life declaration: "I am the man who wants to be the pirate king!!"...Oh wrong... .. "I'm the man who wants to be the captain!!" Unfortunately, Brother Hammer has a bad class composition, so he can only be the second in command. The position of captain was stolen by a little white face of noble blood...I only know when I see this. It turns out that being a captain also has to talk about one's background.

The subsequent development was basically based on the shipwreck incident at that time. It was indispensable to encounter storms and beluga whale attacks. The subsequent disaster and drifting did not jump out of the framework of general types of films. As a documentary work, it is impeccable. However, as a movie, the conflict between the captain and the first mate, the conflict between the whaling team and the beluga, and the cannibalism during the final drifting process, which should have been very tense plots, lacked further excavation, and some hurriedly brought them over. a feeling of. Despite this, the whole film can still accurately reveal the bleak and declining atmosphere of the whaling industry, which is a serious contradiction between the strong desire of human beings for industrial development and the backward means of grabbing natural resources, which makes people feel at the foot of the development of civilization. Stepping on countless fragile lives and bodies. At the end of the film, the surviving crew members who were already gray-haired were surprised and self-sadly asked, "I heard that some oil has been drilled from the ground, is this true?", indicating that the era of whaling and oil refining has come to an end, and a new era of oil has begun. The audience standing in the modern perspective will have the feeling that all the great and tragic can't stand against time....

In addition, I am impressed by the excellent special effects of the movie. The whaling scene is thrilling and grand, and the whale group is also very vivid. The beluga whale has several shocking scenes of jumping out of the water and lifting its giant tail. Be in awe of nature...

    I don’t know if it’s a problem with the source of the film, but the special effects are quite dramatic, and the panorama is much better. Samsung did the make-up to the costumes, the British supporting cast (Cillian Murphy, Tom Holland and Joseph Mawle), and the bearded Ben Whishaw was really good looking. PS Parent Guidelines

    The hodgepodge of nautical legends such as Moby Dick, Nothing, Robinson, etc. looks good, but the plot moves a little too fast, and various small climaxes pop up without waiting for him to appear, which is a bit unprepared. Good-looking but not surprising, the catcher and the whale, the first mate and the captain all eventually reconcile. What I am curious about is how to maintain the captain's living and well-dressed with such a small ship. Where can he get fresh water to wash his scarf? 18 years on-board second brush
