Pompeii, good in itself, but top-heavy

During the broadcast, the entire theater was extremely quiet. The real protagonist should not be the male protagonist, but the black slave. The main idea is his last line: I will die as a free body. I feel that the biggest theme of this film is the human rights issue in the slave society. Apart from the background of the volcanic eruption, the lines are mainly written around the lack of status of women and the lack of freedom for slaves. Volcanic eruptions are due to the movement of the earth's crust, so it is normal for tsunamis to erupt. They are all volcanoes by the sea. These two scenes are still conceivable, but such a tragic scene is completely used to support the eruption of people's minds, especially the weak group struggle. The ending of this film is good. It directly explains that the slaves fought for freedom, and the male and female protagonists fought for their love. The shortcomings of this film are: the theme is outdated, the route is outdated, and the ingredients of volcanoes and tsunamis are beyond the script itself. But the scene is spectacular and the picture is still detailed. If the fare is discounted, you can still go and see it.
