choose

Just after reading it, I was in shock.
The whole movie is nothing more than two words, choice. Perhaps because I have watched too many Chinese martial arts movies, at the beginning, Frank was always unacceptable, selfish, and mocking the so-called gentlemanly demeanor of the United States when he snatched the oxygen mask of his female partner. But then I thought about the real life and death. At that time, who would come to these things. Frank has experienced too much, knowing the terrible death, trying his best to take care of everyone, and knowing the rules of the game for expeditions. Afterwards, drowning the black man was also the best choice, because it is impossible for the black man to go with everyone, let alone stay there and wait for death. Later, George died in order not to hinder everyone's generosity. If he were replaced by Frank, he would make the same choice. And when he finally let his son end his life, it also confirmed my suspicion. Originally thought that Frank would save his son, but he ran out of Cheng Yaojin halfway, and Cheng Yaojin selfishly took the last bottle of oxygen tank and escaped by himself. Later, it was understandable to think about it. In contrast, the images of Frank and George are extremely tall, and for the benefit of the entire team, they will always make the most reasonable choice. When the son drowned his father at last, the son should also understand why his father made such a choice.
It always seems that the plot of this movie is too monotonous, some of the clips in the middle cut the ears and eat people to death, which is a bit disgusting and nauseating. But this does not prevent the story from triggering the audience's thinking. How should we choose when facing conflicts of interest and even facing death? Is it to preserve oneself or to take care of the overall situation?

    Tiankeng crypts are dangerous, and you need to be cautious when entering the cave.

    Three and a half stars, overall is good! The essence of this movie is, "can't turn off the lights"!
