"The Finest Hours"
You learn that there are five innocent people kidnapped by lunatics on the track ahead, and an out-of-control tram is heading for them and will run over them in a moment. Fortunately, you can use a lever to get the tram to another
track. However, there was also a person tied to the other track. Considering the above situation, what should you do? This is a famous moral paradox. Disney's Rescue from the Furious Sea tells us another answer based on a story based on real events...
The film is set in New England in 1952 and tells the story of the U.S. Coast Guard's rescue of a tanker hit by a storm. thing. The whole film is lackluster, it is a personal hero film with the main theme, but it is also a second-rate disaster film. But precisely because this is a film based on real events, everything in the film seems so real and so moving. When the protagonist faces a rescue mission that others seem impossible to complete, he resolutely executes the mission. With his own experience and perseverance, and perhaps a little luck, he successfully rescued 32 people. In fact, before going to sea, Bernie Webb had the opportunity to deliberately "disorientate", which may prevent himself and his teammates from being swallowed by the waves. But he didn't do it, as he himself said: didn't want to disappoint anyone. He succeeded. Sometimes it is with this attitude of having no way out and not wanting to disappoint anyone that miracles can be created.
