Heads Up Hollywood

To put it simply, for a disaster film to be successful, it probably only needs to have two elements, namely "effect" and "emotion". The so-called "effect" refers to the computer's CG special effects, and "qing" refers to feelings, including friendship, family affection, love and so on.

When it comes to special effects, James Cameron is a master, and when it comes to emotional scenes...he is definitely a leader in the industry.

The emotional line expressed in "Unsinkable" is not the heart-wrenching love between men and women like "Titanic", but the great love in the face of life and death!

The whole story is divided into two clues.

One is "Bernie Webb" played by the actor Matthew McConaughey, who is a member of the Massachusetts Coast Guard.

In a violent storm, two oil tankers were severely damaged, and the main rescue force in the Greater Boston area rushed to rescue another oil tanker with a larger number of people. "Bernie Webb" who has a sea experience.

He was ordered in danger, resolutely risked his life and chose to go to sea for rescue, formed a rescue team with three others, and drove a "miniature" boat to rescue.

In the raging storm, their action this time was very dangerous. The seniors thought it was a suicide mission and advised "Bernie Webb"'s team not to die.

And "Bernie Webb", leading his rescue team, showed true American heroism, going forward!

Another line is "Ray Hibbert" played by Mel Gibson.

At this time, the "Pendleton" oil tanker had broken into two halves, and the captain and many crew members had died along with the other half. As a mechanic, "Ray Hibbert" is the person with the highest position on the ship, but he is usually taciturn, has no credibility, and is about to lose control.

As the only woman on board, Charlize Theron, the second female, stood up. She showed the strength of a woman with manly courage and courage, assisted "Ray Hibbert" and encouraged the survivors to work together to save the world. The sunken tanker pushed onto the shoal, waiting for rescue.

Finally, after going through many hardships and passing by the god of death several times, the two clues converged!

"Bernie Webb" found the stranded "Penderton" tanker and found a full 32 survivors.

Although the maximum carrying capacity of the dinghy is 12 people, everyone resolutely chose to live and die together.

"But we want to die together, not to live together!"

Such passionate lines immediately resonated with the audience.

Compared with the lingering sentimentality of "Titanic", "Unsinkable" is a real man's play. Even Charlize Theron, who plays an important role in the play, also showed the same heroism and courage as men. Courageous and strong.

Finally, after the decision of the rescue team, the rescue boat was fully loaded with 32 people and embarked on the return journey.

Along the way, there are many dangers.

Because the rescue boat was seriously overloaded, the boat almost sank to the bottom of the sea several times.

The sailor played by Heath Ledger is Richard Livesey who received applause on the stage at the beginning. He said that he would jump into the sea and sacrifice himself to save more lives, but his jump into the sea was immediately rejected. Companions stopped.

The touching slogan sounded again - "But seek the same death, not seek the same life!"

Pictures are always more powerful than words!

Driven by the nearly two-hour plot, the heroism shown by the rescue team, which is higher than life and death, has been exaggerated to the extreme at this moment.

"I have already succeeded in answering the question at the risk of risking my life, so...is it going to fall short at this time?"

At this moment, it was like Jack and Rose in "Titanic". The ship sank, and they were suspended on the ice, talking about the final parting of life and death.

This scene is very clichéd, but it is the most emotional part.

Leave the hope of surviving to others, even many of them were people I didn't know at all earlier.

How can such feelings not be inspiring?

Heath Ledger's hysteria after being rescued, and the tears of "begging to die" moved countless people.

During the screening, there was already a faint cry.

Such tears are not because of the love of children, but for the love of the world!

In the world, there are always things to stick to, such as justice, such as truth, such as hope, such as freedom... All of these have meanings that are more important than life.

James Cameron used his best technique to fully express the human theme of "Unsinkable" at this moment!

At this time, driven by Heath Ledger's tears, the song "The Price of Life" sung by superstar Whitney Houston quietly sounded.

From the initial calm, to a burst of chaotic drumbeats, and then sonorous electronic music rhythm... The melody of the whole song perfectly matches the plot of "Unsinkable", the danger, the waves, the test of life and death...

At this time, Tang En's phone in his pocket vibrated a few times.

"Pearl Harbor" had a grand premiere over there, and Tang En would definitely arrange for some of his cronies to go and inspect it, presumably he sent a message.

But at this moment, Tang En was not in a hurry to search for information, he wanted to feel the charm of this movie with the audience.

The movie ushered in a big climax, which is an advanced exploration of the realm of life.

Although he is the producer, he has watched the movie dozens of times, and even commented on this clip.

But "Unsinkable" is a new film that has never appeared in the previous life, and it is James Cameron's masterpiece!

As a movie fan alone, Tang En is willing to watch it again!

Charlize Theron apparently also heard the sound of "buzzing", sighed faintly, and then recovered from the plot of the movie, wiped the corner of her eyes, glanced at Tang En, and said in a low voice: "Actually... I think the movie will end like this, and the situation will be higher!"

She is the leading actress in the movie and knows where the plot is going.

Of course, it can also be seen from the name of the movie "Unsinkable" that this is not a movie with a tragic ending. Through unremitting efforts, struggle, struggle, and persistence, the protagonists of the movie finally completed the impossible task and defeated Crazy tsunami.

With everyone's hard work, this is an unsinkable lifeboat!

Dunn sighed. Of course he knew that if "Heath Ledger" jumped off and everyone survived, the theme of the movie would be wider and the theme more compelling.

But this is too cruel, too uncommercial.

""Titanic" created a legend at the box office. Similarly, that is also the most difficult part of regret."

After listening to Tang En's words, Charlize Theron seemed to realize something, "So... this movie is directed by Cameron and your self-salvation? To make up for the regret in your heart?"

Of course Tang En would not feel any guilt, and nodded lightly, "Well, it's the same disaster, but in different countries and in different eras, there will be different endings. Maybe from the government's point of view, they will prefer "Unsinkable."

Charlize Theron curled her lips again and again.

What nonsense!

You just say that in order to please the audience, in order to let the audience heal the psychological trauma of "Titanic", you can use the momentum of that big ship to hype this small ship.

What's wrong with admitting it?

But even if Tang En didn't tell her the truth, she was still very happy!

This is the first time she watched the full version of "Unsinkable" after the edit. In the setting of the script, Liv Tyler is the first female lead and she is the second female lead.

But the effect presented in the movie is that Liv Tyler is just the girlfriend of the leading actor Matthew McConaughey, and she has no role except for the first 5 minutes.

On the contrary, she, the supporting actress, is full of room to play. Among a group of men, she is the most touching and eye-catching one.

Although she lost her glamorous appearance and turned into a dirty female oil worker, but for the higher pursuit of art, she likes this feeling.

At this time, the singing in the movie ended, and Heath Ledger no longer struggled like that. He accepted everyone's suggestions, screamed up to the sky, and the tears filled his eyes again.

The most struggling set of shots is over, and then, there is a big wave 20 stories high, roaring and smashing down!

If it is hit, let alone this small wooden coast guard ship, even a warship will have to disintegrate!

"Bernie Webb" played by Matthew McConaughey quickly adjusted his direction, followed the waves, and drifted with the tide without any struggle.

The special effects of the waves produced in the digital field, the realistic effect is almost empathetic.

only……

Even with the reasonable dispatch of "Bernie Webb", the Coast Guard rescue ship successfully passed through the monstrous waves, where is the way ahead?

On the sea, it was pitch black.

Couldn't feel anything but dampness and the smell of the sea.

Without the guidance of the navigation lights, in this rainy night, where should this small wooden coast guard rescue ship carry these 36 people (including the crew)?

The future is still a blur.
