In order to preserve his desire to save the Advance, the captain decided to take the stowaways on his own. When the stowaways died of suffocation, in order to avoid responsibility, they ordered the body to be decomposed and thrown into the sea to feed the fish. He also personally killed the chief engineer who was insane after the discovery of his conscience. He even tried to kill Hongmei, the only survivor of the stowaways, in an attempt to completely eliminate evidence and evade guilt. All these crazy actions reflect the selfish nature of people in desperate situations.
Like the captain, the crew members in desperation are also full of selfishness. They also brutally decompose the bodies of the stowaways in order to avoid guilt and throw them into the sea to feed the fish. Even the well-intentioned chief engineer obeys the captain. This is even more true for Qinggu and Changxu. In order to satisfy their desires, they attempt to rape Hongmei, and in the end they also die in a fight caused by Hongmei.
However, aside from the selfishness manifested in the corners, the motivation behind the crew on this road to death is sustenance, in order to stay alive.
The "Advance" is the job of the captain and the crew. The captain took over the smuggling business. The original intention was to collect a huge amount of money to maintain the Advance. The Advance was the capital for them to survive. In order to live, the captain can be indifferent to his wife's blatant cheating. In order to survive, the crew has no choice but to take over the smuggling business with the captain. Uncle Tiger, who is hiding his debts, is essentially trying to live. Stowaways risk their lives to smuggle, just to live better, to earn more living capital.
In this cruel incident, full of selfishness and ruthlessness, the crew ruthlessly put the stowaways in the fish warehouse to avoid the inspection, and to evade the crime, they selfishly threw the stowaways into the sea, in order to pursue their own desires, the crew members And not hesitate to kill each other. But in the dark reality, there is still a ray of light, and the kindness of human nature still radiates light, even if it is a faint light, it still exists. The crew members used their own food to feed the stowaways. Dong-sik cared for Hongmei from beginning to end. Uncle Hu did not close the cabin door and did not allow Dong-sik to participate in the dismemberment operation in order to alleviate the pain of the stowaways. Later, he became insane due to the discovery of his conscience. A series of subtle actions can allow viewers to tap into a trace of human kindness.
This film shows the selfish and sinful side of human nature that people will do anything to earn more living capital in order to survive, and the selfish and sinful side of human nature that is highlighted at the end of the road, but the little brilliance of human nature in the dark makes people feel a little gratified.
