There are very few hollywood small-scale films that can have a good reputation. With a superior script, excellent directors and actors, the film "Incompatible" is a typical one.
Foreword: The movie "Incompatible" is a high-quality jungle survival action, adventure, thriller, suspenseful small-scale Production American film, released in 1997. Although 22 years have passed, because of the thrilling, compact and suspenseful characteristics of the film, it makes people feel ups and downs, and the philosophy of life that inspires people is endlessly evocative, so it is deeply loved by people. The screenwriter of "Indisputable" is the famous director Pritzer Award winner Lee Tamahori.
The storyline of the film goes like this, the intelligent billionaire Charlie has a young and beautiful wife, barney, a fashion photographer who works for Charlie, who is envious of what Charlie has. When Charlie and his wife are on vacation, they are stranded on an isolated island in Alaska because of a plane crash. A relentless struggle between life and death ensued.
In the barren world, the greatest existential crisis does not come from nature, but from the darkness and ugliness of human nature------- betrayal and murder. From the process of fighting between life and death, we have seen the excellent characteristics of a successful person when he encounters difficulties in life, which fully shows that a person will not succeed casually, and there are certain rules behind this. I also saw that Xiao Hei and the photographer had inferior character, and these inferior characters would cause them to die.
This film seems to have a simple theme and a simple plot, but it contains the philosophy and meaning of life, which is evocative and unforgettable, and enlightening.
Below, I will compare and analyze the character characteristics they have and the reasons for the formation of these characters from the positive attitude of successful people Charlie in the face of difficulties and setbacks, and the negative attitude of Xiao Black and photographers in the face of difficulties and setbacks. In the third part, I will talk about some of the inspirations that the protagonist of this movie, Charlie, brings us in real life and work.
01, rich Charlie loves to learn, and is good at applying knowledge to real life, facing difficulties and adversities, can calmly think about how to solve problems, and put into action.
As a billionaire, Charlie has a character that is different from ordinary people, and in the process of escaping, his knowledge and courage make him a leader, whether it is in terms of advice, practical operation ability, courage and courage, which are superior to the other two people. Specific excellent performance is reflected in the following three aspects:
(1) Charlie does not miss any opportunity to learn, has good learning habits, has made a lot of knowledge reserves, and is good at applying knowledge to real life, and the application of these knowledge can always play a role in reviving the dead at the moment of danger.
Charlie accompanied his young and beautiful wife to the wild forest to take fashion photos of the forest, along with young photographers Barney and Xiao Hei. Sitting on the plane on the journey, Charlie took out the book he had carried with him and began to study.
Charlie, a billionaire 73, is an avid learner, good at learning, and will seize every opportunity to learn. The old man who loves to read, during the trip, did not choose to squint comfortably or chat with everyone to pass the time, he spent time to obtain knowledge reserves. This plot tells the protagonist Charlie's distinctive characteristics.
At the destination, the innkeeper reminds the guests that there are man-eating bears around, and everyone should be careful. Charlie saw a photograph of an old Indian man in the inn and suggested that his wife take a photo with the old man to have a sharp contrast. Unfortunately, the old man went hunting, so people flew on a plane to look for the old Indian man in the deep mountains and old forests.
From the one photograph he observes, Charlie can give his wife artistic advice on taking pictures.
Unfortunately the plane crashed. In the freezing cold of the ninth, after Charlie, the photographer and Little Black fell into the water and came ashore, the three of them were frozen and shivering, and when the other two had no way to complain endlessly, Charlie took out the lighter he usually used for smoking, and lit some leaves on the spot to warm up, spending a difficult night.
Charlie then used his vast knowledge to calculate where they were and said that he could get out of the forest as long as he went south. He began to use the astronomical geography he had learned to determine the south, rubbing a paperclip on the sleeve of the coat and then placing it on a leaf and then putting it into the water, and the tip of the paper clip on the leaf pointed in the direction of the south, so the three of them headed south.
Charlie's observational and thinking traits help him discover the value of the leaves around him. Knowledge is power, and with Charlie's knowledge of outdoor escape, using the technique of making a compass, the three of them have the hope of getting out of the predicament.
After two days of escape, the three were hungry and hungry, and Charlie had a wealth of wild survival skills. He taught Xiao Hei to use branches to make harpoons to fish and eat, Xiao Hei accidentally inserted the branches into his thighs when making harpoons, and the blood flowed non-stop, and Charlie used the knowledge of hygiene bandaging he learned to bandage Xiao Hei with cloth strips, stopping the bleeding in time.
While fleeing the bandage site, Charlie, who understands the nature of carnivores, repeatedly emphasizes that the photographer dug a pit with a blood-stained cloth strip, because the man-eating bear has a keen sense of smell and will smell blood and chase it. Charlie has such a precious escape experience, but it is not taken seriously by photographers. The photographer did not listen to Charlie, and hung the bloody cloth strip casually on the tree, this perfunctory and lazy attitude to do things, causing the man-eating bear to smell the smell of blood stains to chase after him, biting The little black to death, causing the little black to pay the price of life.
This one thing after another confirms the correctness and foresight of Charlie's knowledge. It can be seen that Charlie is full of poetry and books, facing dangerous junctures, and can always transform knowledge into a life-saving method in a hurry, saving his own life and saving the lives of others. Knowledge is wealth, with the reserve of knowledge is like the savings of the bank, the more reserves, the more wealth you have, in the use of time will not be stretched, there is nothing to do.
(2) Charlie has a good psychological quality, and when he encounters a crisis, he is calm and self-assured and averts danger
Charlie debunks the photographer's attempt to take advantage of his wife and kill him, and as the two argue, the terrifying man-eating bear appears. The photographer and Xiao Hei fled in fright, Charlie stood motionless, his eyes radiating a menacing gaze staring at the eyes of the man-eating bear, the man-eating bear was shocked by Charlie's gaze and did not dare to act hastily, Charlie then turned away freely, buying time for escape.
In every dangerous moment, Charlie can calmly come up with a way to solve the problem, and his strong psychological quality comes from the fact that he has enough knowledge reserves as a confidence to meet difficult challenges.
After Little Black was bitten by the man-eating bear, Charlie and the photographer endured hunger and cold, continued to climb the mountain and wade for their lives, and when they found that the rescue plane did not see them flying away, the photographer felt desperate and cried, and the terrible man-eating bear chased after them again. Charlie overcomes his fear and comes up with a way to drive away the man-eating bears with a fire, temporarily alleviating the urgent need. He told the photographer to sharpen the branches, poke them into the bear's body as the bear pounced on it, and use the bear's weight strength to poke the sharp branch into the bear's chest.
The photographer expressed great skepticism and distrusted Charlie's proposed method of killing bears. In order to build the photographer's confidence and firm belief in defeating the man-eating bear, Charlie made the photographer shout loudly: "I can kill the bear!" I can kill bears! I can kill bears! "As a result, Charlie has won again, and the bear is really killed by the method he came up with!"
Good psychological quality is the magic weapon to defeat the enemy, in the game of life and death, in addition to the contest of strength, the biggest factor is the psychological game. Charlie used modern psychological management methods such as self-suggestion, self-affirmation, and self-motivation to motivate photographers to join him in defeating the man-eating bear.
(3) Charlie is kind, tolerant, and forgiving, and gives forgiveness and forgiveness to those who betray him
Charlie knew whether the photographer was the enemy of his wife or whether he had saved the photographer's life twice.
The first time the photographer's life was saved was when the plane crashed into the lake, the photographer was entangled in the safety rope, and was in danger, and Charlie calmly and decisively cut the rope and rescued the photographer ashore. In a moment of crisis, the old man saved the young photographer's life.
The second time the photographer's life is saved, when the two begin to fight, Charlie, with his keen observation, observes the trap that the hunter is hunting, and closes the photographer to the trap to make it fall. The kind Charlie did not kill the photographer, but finally jumped into the trap and rescued the lover. However, the photographer died before the rescue team arrived.
When the rescue team arrived, when people asked how Charlie and the photographer died, Charlie burst into tears and said that they died to keep me alive!
Charlie is good, and in the face of life, he chooses tolerance and kindness. Not only did he not fall into the well, but he saved the photographer's life twice when he was on the verge of endangering his life.
With profound knowledge, strong psychological qualities, and good qualities, Charlie overcame the beast, the cold, the hunger, and the darkness of human nature, and eventually became the only one of the three to come out of the forest.
02, photographers and people like Xiao Hei will be troubled by emotions and moods when they encounter difficulties, become depressed and discouraged, do not actively try to change reality, and often choose to sit still.
On the way to escape the man-eating bear, the three of them are blocked by a waterfall, and when Xiao Hei and the photographer are helpless and helpless, Charlie picks up a dead tree and builds a one-way bridge, and the three successfully walk across the waterfall.
After walking for two days, I saw the fire where they lived to warm up and found that I was back to the starting point. Photographers began angrily questioning Charlie's compass approach. Ignorance doubts the existence of knowledge.
When Little Black was injured and left a blood-stained cloth strip, it is regrettable that the photographer did not listen to Charlie's words and buried the cloth strip deep in the soil, but hung the blood-stained cloth strip on the tree, and as Charlie expected, the man-eating bear chased after him and bit Little Black alive. For his ignorance, laziness and casualness, he paid the price of XiaoHei's life.
Charlie and the photographer continued to flee and found the helicopter that had come to look for them, but despite their shouts, the plane did not see them fly away. At this time, the photographer sat down and cried.
It can be seen that Xiao Hei, the photographer and Charlie are two types of people, and their attitude is diametrically opposite to Charlie's. When they encounter an emergency or dilemma, their first reaction is not to try to find a way, but to immediately rise negative emotions, begin to be discouraged, depressed, complaining, and then disappointed, shirk responsibility and sit still. This attitude is a sign of cowardice of incompetence.
03. The positive and negative attitudes of the protagonists of the movie "Incompatible" give us some enlightenment of real life
In my opinion, the positive attitude of Charlie, the protagonist of the film, and the negative attitude of the photographer and xiao black in real life give us the following inspiration in real life:
(1) When encountering things, we must overcome fear and meet challenges
When encountering things, blind fear cannot solve the problem, and the problem will not be alleviated or completely solved because of your fear psychology, but on the contrary, it may be because of your fear psychology that delays the fighter, and makes the situation more difficult to solve and deal with, resulting in irreparable consequences. When encountering things, it is necessary to bravely solve the difficulties.
Liu Chuanjian, the heroic captain of Sichuan Airlines, did not overcome his fears at the moment of danger, how could he create a miracle and bring the passengers of Sichuan Airlines Flight 3U8633 back to the ground safely for landing. When the windshield burst, the entire cockpit was exposed to the high-altitude cold, which meant that the temperature of minus 40 degrees and extreme lack of oxygen, in such harsh conditions, the captain did not flinch, sat still, but exerted the maximum strength that people can bear, creating a miracle.
(2) When encountering things, whether it is tricky or not, you must have confidence that you can survive it
In our real life, there are always people who are afraid of psychology, dare not meet the various challenges of life, and make themselves the one who fails. The establishment of self-confidence cannot be completed overnight, in addition to having enough knowledge of yourself and daring to do what should be done. Developing self-confidence is about being bold about doing what you're afraid of and striving for a track record of success. Calmly face the problem and see your strengths.
When the surgeon knows that when learning to do surgery for the first time, everyone's psychology will have fear psychology, afraid that they will not do well, hurt the patient's body, and dare not get the knife. There must always be a first time, and with a successful first time, you will build up your confidence and stop being so scared during the second surgery.
In my opinion, courageous people like Charlie and Captain Liu Chuanjian are not without fear, but the key is that they overcome their fear and challenge it with positive actions. Therefore, when encountering things, we can always be fearless in the face of danger, bravely face the battle, and take effective measures to curb the development of the situation and win victory.
(3) Complaining about others, shirking responsibility, and sitting still are all manifestations of incompetence
In the film, the photographer and Xiao Hei and others encounter difficulties in their negative attitude towards life, resulting in them finally failing to get out of the forest and paying the price of their lives.
In the workplace or in the competition, there are always some people who complain about others, attributing the reason for doing something wrong to objective conditions or the people around them, and never looking for reasons from themselves. They have all kinds of reasons for recommending responsibilities, always believing that mistakes are caused by others, and even if they encounter difficulties, they do not actively look for ways to solve problems, but just blindly accuse, complain and complain.
In these people are full of negative energy, working with these teammates or colleagues, in addition to affecting the mood, there is no positive energy, he plays a role is to drag his legs and destroy morale.
I've seen a restaurant fire with my own eyes. In a hot pot shop, the clerk repeatedly put two fish underground in the same hot pot, causing the amount of pot content to be insufficient, a pot of oil overflowed, hot pot oil flowed down the table to the burning stove, the flames were strung on the table more than a meter high, the flames under the table were connected together, forming a huge fireball, below the flammable and explosive gas canister, the table was full of guests, if the gas canister exploded would hurt the surrounding guests, the consequences could not be imagined. The clerk was frightened and stepped back, and he did not forget to complain about the guests, how not to tell him that he had already laid a fish.
At this moment of ichigo, the store manager rushed from behind the clerk, decisively closed the gas canister, covered the flame with a large cauldron, and stopped the rambling and occurrence of a fire accident in a timely and effective manner. If the store manager, like the clerk, is overwhelmed by fear and only knows to complain and complain, the situation will expand into a fire accident.
When the store manager encountered an emergency, he did not complain about the mistakes of the clerk, nor did he shirk his responsibility, but bravely went forward to solve the problem. The store manager, like the movie protagonist Charlie, has such courage and action, and is an admirable person.
epilogue:
The movie "Incompatible" is a plot twist and turn, thought-provoking film, let us know that a person who wants to do things should have the ability to love learning and transform knowledge into skills, guide us to actively cope with challenges when encountering things in real life, and have the courage not to give up and not be discouraged. This is perhaps the most important reflection this film has given me.
