The Lu Rongyu No. 2682 incident and the book "The Great Calamity in the Pacific" were the original intentions that prompted me to watch this movie. Because I heard that this case is going to be made into a movie, just like "Treading the Blood to Seek Plum". I'm curious as to what kind of movie this creepy case would turn into under the current judging system. Because of the similar subject matter, I only know of "Sea Fog", and because I really appreciate the "unscrupulous" theme of Korean movies (of course, the country of Bangzi is useless except for movies).
Everyone has a value proposition for humanity. This positioning itself is not important. What is important is that people should first know what human nature is and how it is expressed. "Sea Mist" is a naked expression of human nature, cruelty and cowardice, desire and greed shared by different people. The difference is that everyone will magnify or shrink it, indulgent and restrained, just like the mirror image of the sun hitting the object surface will be different due to different refractive indices.
Back to the movies. The financial crisis has created problems for everyone on the Fishing Forward. The captain had to agree to transport stowaways from China to South Korea. However, due to an unexpected mechanical failure during the voyage, all the stowaways who were hiding in the fish cabin suffocated to death. In order to hide from the public, the captain ordered the body to be chopped into pieces and thrown into the sea to feed the fish. Thus, the drama of human nature began to unfold.
Good and evil are relative. Is it good for the captain to choose this road of no return for his reasons for living and his attitude towards being responsible to other crew members? Is it evil to kill everyone who may reveal the truth after the incident just to protect yourself and your crew? When he sank to the bottom of the sea, he gave the answer, an answer that only he himself was qualified to give.
The chief engineer caused the tragedy due to negligence, and later found out that he wanted to surrender. To be honest, if I were the captain I would choose to kill him, that's human nature.
The bald uncle only knew how to blindly obey the captain's orders and let him kill. Perhaps his thinking is the most simple and direct, nothing but making money. In fact, he is a good person, but unfortunately human nature does not distinguish between good and bad.
From the very beginning, the two sperm-headed bastards have tied the two things of transporting stowaways and finding women to enjoy themselves. Whether it's a sister-in-law or a chick, as long as it's "cool", she's willing to do anything. In essence, they are not absolute villains, they are just walking corpses led by desire.
Dong-sik and Hong-mae really fell in love at first sight? Or do they get what they need and exchange their bodies for each other's protection, just like that sister-in-law wants to exchange her lower body for the warmth of the cabin? In that extreme environment, there is no need to positively understand the relationship between Dongzhi and Hongmei. It is just as natural as hunger produces appetite and fear produces sexual desire, which is very human.
All human performances are inseparable from the word "desire". Others such as cruelty, cowardice, greed, etc. are just derivatives of it. At the end of the movie, whether it is the back of Hongmei or not, Dongzhi faces the back of Hongmei, which can only show that all the commitments and efforts at that time are not as practical as a bowl of instant noodles with Qingyang peppers.
To tell the truth, the financial crisis made everyone feel that survival is the first priority, which is a very normal thing. Everyone has their own goals in life and their own values for human nature, which is understandable. No one has the right to make moral judgments on him, whether it is people in the movie or outside the movie, except himself. All we can do, or are entitled to do, is to talk about human nature in terms of human nature.
