"Deep Sea Catastrophe": lack of connotation but spectacular scenes

The movie restored the disaster in the Gulf of Mexico and successfully reproduced the tragic scene at that time. However, the movie did not show the meaning it wanted to express, and it did not really play the role of the protagonist. It was only based on Mark Wahlberg. To introduce the story as an entry point, obviously did not show much significance. It is this kind of setting without focus and plot that makes the movie feel very confusing, especially the family element introduced by Mark Wahlberg, which has little effect, let alone highlighting family concepts and feelings. The unfocused narrative makes the film lack the creation of values ​​and views of right and wrong. The film is more like a relationship between characters deliberately added in order to show the disaster. It is also because of this that it is difficult for the film to find the key point and the plot is unsatisfactory. I don’t know what it means. . The film wanted to trace the cause of the disaster for us. On the other hand, it also wanted to show the rigging rig workers' struggle to save the accident. It only portrayed the clever tongues of BP's leadership and the platform workers in a one-sided manner. Obviously, there was a one-sided deliberate behavior, especially when the disaster happened, all the personnel were in a mess, there are no thrilling stories between people, and there is nothing worth discussing and topical. The behavior only highlights the kind of personal heroism, making it difficult to see the glowing places in the film. From the beginning of the film, the film aggressively accused the company of evacuating the people who came to inspect, subjectively, all the reasons were caused by the wrong behavior of the company's senior management, and when the subsequent plot unfolded It can still make us feel the strong subjective intentions in it, and let the vent of personal feelings completely penetrate into the film. Such an approach can obviously only prove that the director deliberately imposes the opinion of who he thinks is right and who is wrong. It ignores that we view such an accident from an objective perspective. I have to say that the director's approach is too extreme.

As the protagonist of the movie, Mark Wahlberg obviously did not exist as the first main line, and he did not play a role in turning the tide. He did not really become the core of the movie, but became a branch existence, that is, the movie did not really exist. The existence of the main line of the selection of the right, so I randomly found a character who can demonstrate personal heroism to act as the protagonist, and as for the so-called process of the entire disaster accident, there is no real right person to narrate. John Malkovich, the only company executive who was able to cut into the core of the entire incident, apparently already exists as a villain, and it is difficult to focus on him in the story, so when the whole disaster strikes As shown in the movie, John Malkovich was sprayed with mud at the scene of the incident, while Mark Wahlberg was still in the bedroom and video chatting with his wife. As for the old movie Dylan. The stationmaster played by O’Brien is still taking a bath in the bathhouse. The determination of the location of the characters’ environment has proved the importance of the role status of the three people. When we look at it again, the movie chooses a subjective narrative. The way of expression obviously brings the plot of the movie into a realm of irreversible disaster. No one has discovered the occurrence of the disaster, no one has prevented it, and no one can see the occurrence of the disaster, but the director has one-sidedly created that the disaster is caused by the decision of the company’s top management, but when the disaster occurs It is during the quality inspection. At this time, there is a problem and it is not possible to blame who made the mistake. It is because the director used an overly subjective thinking that made us unable to see the truth.

Although the movie did not create a good and exciting story for us, the whole scene was created and scheduled just right. It was in response to that sentence, the plot was not enough to make up the scene. Yes, the director seems to have discovered this too. This created a disaster scene that is both spectacular and tragic for us. In this scene, the movie fully displays a variety of tragic and spectacular disaster spectacles. Not only does it make people feel powerless in disasters, but it also highlights the kind and great behavior in human nature that people present when facing disasters. Appearance is the truest self, and being able to choose to help others is the most beautiful thing in human nature. Therefore, after a period of time ago, after the pale expression of warm and tepid water, there was a complete explosion in the second half of the movie, and the scene was used to shock our hearts. It’s just that the heroic saving behavior of the protagonist Halo is always indispensable in this kind of disaster film. I don’t know if this kind of plot is a real story under real circumstances, but in our eyes, this kind of dog-blood saving mode is really true. It's a bit old-fashioned and too ordinary. After a vigorous scene description, I still have to watch this at the last time, which makes people feel very disappointed.

As a film adapted from real events, the pursuit is of course as true as possible. Unfortunately, for this film, the adaptation of real events is obviously just a cover, and the contrast between the adaptation of the characters in the plot is really too great. The positive character image is too positive, and the negative image is too negative. I always feel that the movie is filled with very strong personal emotions, and the accusatory description method is ready to come out. Obviously, there is no real face up to the misfortune and suffering caused by the disaster. Blindly accusing descriptions can only trigger hatred between people and dissatisfaction with corporate management. What we really discuss and reproduce is the whole incident. The reasons for the occurrence and the warnings and thoughts brought to us, and the director's approach to provoking war is quite undesirable. This is also a movie in which Mark Wahlberg has the least protagonist halo. He is dispensable in the movie. He is almost a soy sauce character, with no weight at all, except for some professional opinions on an important occasion. In the future, the rest of the movie will be almost a passerby. Not only did it fail to guide any plot content, but also excessively distracted the family scene from the main line of the movie. This kind of deliberately exaggerated and sensational character is mainly disaster-oriented. The movie seems out of place, and for Mark Wahlberg, it is at best a small role in the movie. Minutes away from the core content of the movie, it is not connected with the focus of the story. This has no sense of existence. How could the role of the movie get people's attention? This also made him the most inexistent male protagonist.
