A beautiful disaster romance film, adapted from real people and real stories. (One of the top ten real disasters in the United States)
The film uses a two-line montage technique to divide the time before the death and after the death into two interspersed narratives (somewhat similar to "memory fragments").
The heroine Tami is a freelancer, her original words are "I do whatever takes me to the next place" (what a cool girl), until I met the hero Richard (me before you, the hero who works in the port) , In this film once again play a disabled person who is taken care of, even though it is imagined...) The two soon fell in love, proposed marriage, and identified each other as their soul mate. During a long voyage, they unfortunately encountered a hurricane. During the turbulence, Richard fell into the sea. After the hurricane, Tami found Richard on the driftwood, but found that his ribs were broken, his lower limbs were paralyzed, and he had lost his ability to take care of himself. , Tami has been taking care of Richard, and when Tami's spirit is about to collapse, Richard's unregrettable love also once again gave Tami the hope of living. However, when Tami woke up from his drowsiness again, the sentence "I might let you go" ushered in a major turning point in the film. It turned out that Richard had already disappeared when he fell into the sea, and all that followed was Tami's fantasy (similar to (In Life of Pie) In the end, it was these fantasies that supported Tami's 41-day drift and rescue. At the end of the film, it is mentioned that Tami’s prototype character has never given up sailing on the sea after being rescued (this is a spiritual pursuit, and it is also fulfilling the agreement between the two)
In general, the plot is similar to the Titanic, with less sensational scenes and more touching details. The use of double lines is also quite simple, and it has not reached the level of brain-burning memory fragments. And the movie reminds me of the song "hurricane", which feels like a good BGM.
Finally, I intercepted the most touching conversation
"I hope you don't know me, then you won't encounter this kind of thing"
"If so, I will have no memories of you. For me, this is the most important thing."
