In the name of life

Hollywood seems to be particularly fond of movies with difficult materials from the sea, and so many major productions are shot every year. The sea gave birth to life, but it will take it mercilessly. This film tells the story of a group that saves lives in stormy seas.
Speaking of it, the idea of ​​this film is somewhat similar to that of the "World Trade Center". It is all about how a person whose career is to save others should make a decision when there is a conflict between the lives of others and their own safety. Of course, the cliché plot, a large number of special effects and American heroism all remind us that this is an out-and-out commercial film, but this film can still move people. When a person chooses to save others as his career, he will inevitably put his own life and death out of the picture. When a disaster strikes, you must pay all costs to save lives, even your own life. This is the mission entrusted to them by the profession. They have forgotten how many people they have saved, they only remember how many people they have not saved. It is easy to make movies and write novels to praise them, but how many people can really be like them? This is an increasingly selfish society, let alone one's own life, I am afraid that even a small loss can't be eaten. It is fortunate for mankind to have such a group of people in this world.

The Guardian quotes

  • [to Helen]

    Ben Randall: I had a case a while back, a couple was drowning. By the time I got there, the husband was dragging his wife under, just trying to stay afloat. Pure survival instinct. It took me a long time to understand that that man was me.

  • Jake Fischer: [chanting in the pool, while pouring a jug of water over himself as Randall sprays him with water] I'm a rescue swimmer, yes I am. I'm here to get your ass out of this jam. I jump from the helo and swing from the cable.

    [throws jug of water down]

    Jake Fischer: I'm not Tarzan, I'm just willing and able!
