"Raging Sea Rescue" not only rescued 32 crew members

One weekend afternoon, I finished watching "Raging Sea Rescue".

"Wonder Woman", "Manchester by the Sea", "Duel Yumatown", "Troy"... a lot of celebrity faces appeared in turn, and I kept saying the names of the movies. But the most touching thing is the plot based on real events.

On February 18, 1952, in Massachusetts, USA, on the route from New Orleans to Boston, the tanker Pendleton broke in a severe storm. Although the 33 crew members on board were experienced and used the Pendle as Led by the couple's mechanics, they tried their best to maintain the engine, control the direction, and delay the sinking... But all this did not help. The hull engine lost control and continued to sink after the water entered.

Bernie of the Coast Guard received an order from an inexperienced and unfamiliar commander to search and rescue a broken tanker at an unknown location. Although Bernie was just engaged, although everyone told Bernie that no one could cross the steep sand dam when he went out to sea in the storm. There are certain things you have to do, even if it is extremely dangerous. Bernie obeyed the commander's orders without hesitation, and the three crew members volunteered to board the search and rescue ship with Bernie. Facing the stormy sea, Bernie was calm and calm. With courage and perseverance, will and experience, he overcame the waves, rescued the 32 crew members on the tanker, and returned to the other side of life and happiness. This rescue operation became the most memorable rescue operation on the US Coast Guard.

The film also made great efforts in shooting, allowing the audience to take risks in the stormy sea. But what touched me deeply was the lifeguards headed by the protagonist Bernie, and the mechanics on the Pendleton tanker. They used their lives to interpret the professionalism and professional ethics, and they insisted on their duties in the face of danger and did not hesitate. This is not only the dedication and belief in career, but also the dedication and belief in life. It reminds me of David Jaber’s documentary film "The God of Sushi", which I watched not long ago, said Jiro Ono in the opening film: Once you decide your career, you must devote yourself to work and love yourself. Work. Professionalism is essentially the best embodiment of the spirit of life and belief, the best interpretation and interpretation of human nature, even if the cost of life is paid, this is not where the glory and power of human nature lies.

    It is also adapted from a real event, surpassing last year's "Depth of the Sea" of the same theme. Both the special effects and the emotional line are shot well. The long shot of Crew Solitaire in the blizzard was great. The director also deliberately added a feminist theme. Finally, the lights on the entire coast were shocking. Cassia Fleck was also handsome, and was not overwhelmed by Pine's limelight. Overall, it’s three and a half years, and Hollywood disaster films have been on the rise in the past two years. Encourage
