The director JC Chandor caught my attention as expected

This is not an elderly version of "Fantasy Drifting", don't expect any 3D special effects, it is more like a 21st century enhanced version of Hemingway's "The Old Man and the Sea". The design of the one-man show not only provides a rare opportunity for Robert Redford's superb acting skills, but also the director's seamless blend of genre elements such as suspense thriller and disaster film, making this basically no lines full of film. Incredible dramatic tension. In my opinion, this is a fable with a strong cautionary tinge, far from a gripping sea escape story. However, the director's design of the ending spoils the allegorical flavor of the whole story a bit, making the film return to the ranks of drama, and the level is immediately lowered by a few points. I guess this must be the result of the director succumbing to Hollywood producers, or a helpless choice to please the audience. In any case, the director JC Chandor caught my attention as expected, looking forward to his latest work A Most Violent Year, I wonder what surprises will appear?

I really can't imagine what happened to an uncle who was not willing to shout "god" and "f**k" until the end in the face of various dangers and accidents before going to sea alone. The contradiction between the beginning and the end makes people more willing to believe that he was not rescued, but was just silent in the vast and deep sea. What is utter loneliness, in this film.

Robert Redford has passed his old age but still wants to act in such a film, he just wants to prove that he is not old, and his courage is admirable. However, the academy judges did not nominate him for the male lead, which made him feel embarrassed. The single-player survival mode is really difficult to replicate. This old-age version of the story of the Tigerless Teenage School obviously relies on Uncle Milu's acting skills to support the audience. Taking time out of the background of the story simply struggles with fate, the loneliness brought by multiple upside down shots is even more heartbreaking. gravitational.

Our Man: 13th of July, 4:50 pm. I'm sorry. I know that means little at this point, but I am. I tried, I think you would all agree that I tried. To be true, to be strong, to be kind, to love, to be right. But I wasn't. And I know you knew this. In each of your ways. And I am sorry. All is lost here, except for soul and body, that is, what's left of them, and a half day's ration. It's inexcusable really, I know that now. How it could have taken this long to admit that I'm not sure, but it did. I fought till the end. I'm not sure what that is worth, but know that I did. I have always hoped for more for you all. I will miss you. I'm sorry.
