true despair

With only one actor and no more than five lines, this is a silent movie, a one-man show! But nothing can obliterate the wonderful!
Half a year after the youth pie, the film was released in Cannes. This is a dialogue with the youth pie and a dialogue with Ang Lee. The two episodes of drifting at sea interpret completely different themes. Here you can see more real and cruel despair, all the lost, and faith and family are no exception. Ang Lee's fantasy drifting can only appear in fairy tales. It seems very pale to use a fantasy to tell people the importance of faith and family. Don't judge good or bad, everyone has their own scales in their hearts.
Heavy, dark tones permeate the show, making even the sunny and calm sea seem so gloomy. An old captain tried his best to survive, but despair approached him step by step. The viewers are slowly brought into it with the only sound of the stormy waves, and experience this desperate journey.
There are no special effects, no dialogue, no character relationship, just a real sea rafting. To be so brilliant, the director's strength is fully demonstrated.
I was looking forward to the climax of the ending in the step-by-step rendering and contrast, but it ended abruptly at the moment of holding hands, disappointed or unfinished. Such an ending is thought-provoking. Doesn't every despair turn bright and bright? Is it true that only rebirth after despair is king?
A good film that makes people see despair clearly, and the ending is suspicious! Wouldn't it be more convincing to let the old captain die in despair, and what despair is more to realize! Because I have always believed that there are not so many desperate situations in life, and movies should be the same.

All Is Lost quotes

  • Our Man: 13th of July, 4:50 pm. I'm sorry. I know that means little at this point, but I am. I tried, I think you would all agree that I tried. To be true, to be strong, to be kind, to love, to be right. But I wasn't. And I know you knew this. In each of your ways. And I am sorry. All is lost here, except for soul and body, that is, what's left of them, and a half day's ration. It's inexcusable really, I know that now. How it could have taken this long to admit that I'm not sure, but it did. I fought till the end. I'm not sure what that is worth, but know that I did. I have always hoped for more for you all. I will miss you. I'm sorry.
