Arouse the sin within? The captain had no choice but to give up the crew, so he vowed never to give up anyone again. Others also have their own sins, so the whole theme of the film is that whoever overcomes their own sins can save themselves.
Is this kind of thing the Western fantasy of hell? It seems strange to me in the western world. On the one hand, they highly advocate science, but on the other hand, they are extremely disobedient. They are always afraid of everything in their hearts. In the eyes of the Orientals, the underworld is a physical torture, like the eighteen layers of hell, piercing ears and piercing tongues. Even sin is an actual non-spiritual punishment. And Western hell is often spiritual. Westerners believe that human beings have original sin and always need repentance and redemption. Easterners, on the other hand, do not believe this, and believe that human beings are inherently good in nature. All the sins of human beings are self-inflicted, so only the sinful people go to hell.
Therefore, it is difficult for Chinese people to have a deep understanding of this film. If an oriental person is placed in such an environment, even if the oriental person has hallucinations, the first thought is not to think of hell. But to analyze why there are hallucinations? Or use an instrument, such as a video camera, or other non-human sensory instrument to test whether it is really a hallucination. Then find a solution. This is actually a kind of pure atheism. Even if there is a god, it is just a life that is more powerful than human beings. In the face of an irresistible crisis, there is fear, but it is never on the inner level.
