On the end

At the end, it said that just as the protagonist, All is lost, gave up all hope and gradually sank to the bottom of the sea, the small boat in the distance suddenly found him, and then he was rescued. This can actually be regarded as an open ending. In the end, we don't know whether he was really rescued or his own imagination before death. Now I will analyze the possibility of these two situations.

1. Really rescued? Unlikely.

Take a closer look at the distance of the old man beyond the route (his mark on the map) in the movie. The distance on the map is at least two centimeters. The route is only 5 centimeters wide. He only encountered two ships on the route, both of which were freighters. , In a place that deviates so far from the course (and deep into the hinterland of the Indian Ocean, and can't even see an island after floating for so long), how can there be a small manned ship.

Moreover, according to the footage in the film, the ship is far away from the old man. And so far away you can still see so much light, presumably the boat must not be small (the boat is generally enough for people to see the road ahead, and if people are resting at night, they don’t even turn on the lights. ), but when he was rescued, we could see that it was obviously a small boat (the people on the boat reached the sea level as soon as they reached out their hands). Moreover, he is so weak that he can't even float without eating or drinking for so many days. You want him to swim ashore within a few seconds after sinking more than ten meters? Even if you were to forcefully explain the potential of a person in the Territory, his situation at the time was almost at the end of the battle.

Third, the director had given more than three shots of fish on the bottom of the sea before, but now the old man is so deep, where did the fish go? There used to be mako sharks to grab the old man’s fish! ! I don't believe that the old man still has a wound on his forehead that can't attract sharks.

So many such obvious irrationals made the ending of the old man’s rescue untenable. Will the director really make such an arrangement to drag the entire film back?

2. A futile fantasy before dying? Nothing wrong.

I have counted the experience of the old man in the past eight days: three storms, the whole body was soaked, if ordinary people had a high fever; four times the ship capsized, the film also showed the old man dizzy and uncomfortable on the inflatable pad; he was knocked out by such a deep hole. It took so long to deal with it, you think I am a vegetarian with tetanus bacillus; I fell into the water for N times, and the old man didn’t have a few clothes, and the hypothermia walked up; I didn’t eat for at least five days and only relied on a little distilled water to linger; twice; He was so disappointed that he hoped to come and ran away, he was so desperate to write his last words and get a drifting bottle. Hey! !

There is no illusion in this situation, do you believe it?

But let me say one thing: If he just sinks like this, this piece can get 8 points.

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.
