In times of trouble, what to do?

In the middle of the night when it was getting cooler in early autumn, when I watched "Poseidon", which I got by chance, I found myself trembling again and again with the changes of the environment in the film. The spectators have a deeper expectation than any of them, looking forward to the road ahead as the heart wants to lead to the propeller channel, looking forward to this group of people who insist on walking their own way no one will be left behind, Looking forward to the slow sinking of this giant ship, and looking forward to the rescue team coming from the sky... Today, when I look back on the touch of last night, I feel a kind of joy in my heart. Looking for a peaceful heart that has not returned for a long time.



The end of the movie is 1:30 this morning, and I fell asleep in the lucidity of thinking and the chaos of perception.



The reason why I feel this way is because I understand two themes: first, at an important moment in life, we must take the path of our own choice and go on bravely; second, since we have chosen a direction, there is no retreat, no A better choice is to persevere and never give up. This is the deepest reminder for me today.

In the film, when Dilla read the cabin instructions and decided to find a way to the bottom of the capsized boat, four people followed him, and the captain was strongly opposed at this time, and decided to close the sealed cabin. In the captain's view, go up. There is no way to go, and after closing the capsule, they will not be able to return. The value orientation of life begins to polarize at this time. The people in the cabin are conservatives, they are waiting, waiting for a few hours for help. The arrival of the team, and I believe that there will be no accidents in these few hours, and they will be safe and sound. It is this kind of ignorance of the tanker, absolute trust in the captain and strong self-comfort that led them to be swallowed by the sea. . As for the other five people, they set off toward the direction in their hearts, toward the hope in their hearts, and opened up their own way to walk when there was no way. During this period, they met new colleagues, including the daughter and son-in-law of the former New York mayor, as well as a so-called lucky man and a smuggled young woman. Maggie and her son were the luckiest, because they met Dilla, and Dilla fell in love with Maggie, it was this Pathfinder who took all of them toward rebirth, and with his man's mind and devotion, Encourage those who follow him. In life's most dangerous moments, lucky people always meet their saviour, provided, of course, that you are a benefactor yourself first and foremost. For example, the so-called lucky man fell to the bottom of the sea with the wreckage that fell from the sky when he just stepped out of the first section of the road. This is the difference between the good and the domineering.

Among them, three people, three like-minded people, left to save more people, and the beautiful ones stayed on the boat. Those who have passed away have left, and those who should not have stayed have also stayed. The number of people who saw the moonlight returning to the sea recently happened to be six. I don’t know if the screenwriter helped arrange it. Six is ​​a very meaningful number for China. It is a smooth beginning, a sign of success, and a symbol of hope for the future. It was these six people who started a life that would never be the same again on the calm sea.
