Friendly reminder, this article has some spoilers, but it does not affect viewing.

At the beginning of the film, the drama version of Uncle Hannibal was constantly digging ice in the snow. It seemed that he was slowly digging a path. When the audience was puzzled, the camera turned and the picture of the aerial camera showed A picture of SOS, the uncle just hit by ice is only a small part of it. It turns out that the uncle's plane was in danger in the North Pole, and it has been a while. . . Then there are the various daily life of the uncle (rising posture): shoveling snow (SOS), fishing, hand-cranked power generation to signal for help, rest (the crashed plane is a refuge, at least it will not be frozen to death), and rock piles every morning Chunk (I guess the audience didn't quite understand it at first, it's a kind of spiritual sustenance, I don't spoil it). Suddenly one day, the uncle's hand signal was matched, and a helicopter flew by. Just when the uncle saw hope, Due to the weather, the helicopter crashed in front of the uncle, making people desperate again. The male pilot showed no signs of life, and the female pilot was seriously injured and unconscious. . . The uncle had to make up his mind to take the unconscious female pilot on foot across the ice field to the research station. . . .

If a person is in danger in the Arctic, all kinds of dangerous movies you can think of will help you think about it, and you didn't expect it will help you think about it in the movie. In short, it is to enrich the plot and make the audience empathize. I think for ordinary people, a cold environment is enough to crush a person, let alone other difficulties and obstacles. In an extremely cold environment, in addition to the deadly danger of cold, there is also the danger of food and polar bear attacks (after all, white bears can find not much food in the polar regions). Of course, apart from the external environment, what may be a test is a person’s will And Wisdom, this may be similar to other survival movies or stories, such as Survival on a Deserted Island, but I think the extreme cold environment is more difficult, and in addition to testing these, the uncle has to rescue the injured female pilot who cannot walk. This has to rise to a new height, not only to save oneself, but also to save the oil bottle companion. This not only involves external challenges, but also a moral choice. To save oneself or save both, and this will to persist how long. . . This makes the movie unique.

There are many similar survival movies, such as "127 Hours" and "Touching the Void". The controversial part is cutting the ropes of companions to survive. This may be similar to this film, and the uncle will face the same challenge. . . Perhaps in such an environment, the conflict between personal survival instinct and morality will be very strong, which is a very difficult choice.

PS As the only heroine of a movie, she didn't even have a line, and she was drunk, so she was not easy to act.

In the PPS movie, there is no inner drama that shows the male lead uncle, for example, it is interesting to think about loneliness.
