Disaster films, especially disaster films based on real events, are always particularly shocking, heart-wrenching, and thrilling.
For example, "Tangshan Earthquake", which is based on the 1976 China earthquake;
Based on the 2010 Gulf of Mexico crude oil spill, "Deep Sea Havoc";
Based on the 1912 Titanic cruise ship that crashed into an iceberg and sank, titanic, etc.
Similarly, today's Junjun wants to talk about the latest disaster film adapted from a real shipwreck event -
Hurricane Waves I 2018
North American Release: 2018-06-01
In a way, "The Waves" and "Titanic" have the same magic, telling a poignant love story under disaster, and the same is a shipwreck.
However, this story is based on the "Pacific Hurricane Shipwreck" that has caused a sensation in the United States.
As one of the top ten real disasters in the United States, its influence ranks first in the world's maritime shipwreck survivors.
In 1983, the heroine Tammy and the male protagonist Richard met and fell in love, and two young people who loved sailing got engaged and made a lifelong commitment.
However, a voyage across the Pacific changed their fate.
After three weeks of sailing, they were hit by the top 10 hurricanes in the world in terms of intensity.
After the hurricane, the hull was severely damaged, and both men fell into the sea.
I don't know how long later, the heroine woke up on the driftwood and found that her beloved man had been seriously injured and dying.
Beside them, there was only a small jar of peanut butter and a few cans of canned food, surrounded by an endless sea, surrounded by no one, isolated from the world.
Loneliness, pain, helplessness, fear, despair almost swallowed both of them apart.
What is their fate?
Shortly after the film was released in North America, it gained a good reputation.
Unforgettable desperate shipwreck scenes, difficult self-help after the super hurricane, and tear-jerking love stories have made the film highly appreciated by authoritative media abroad.
There are even foreign media comments as: "the most beautiful disaster film".
So, as a love disaster film, where is the "beauty" of the movie?
▌ Beauty
Of course, this refers to our starring role.
The heroine Tammy plays Sherlyn Woodley, and the new generation of post-90s acting schools that came out of "Descendants".
She shared the stage with Nicole Kidman in the American drama "Big Little Lies" and was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress in a Drama Film;
In 2013, she starred in "The Amazing Spider-Man 2";
In 2014, she starred in "Divergent: Alien Awakening" and was released to great acclaim.
To have a good look, to act and act, probably said that she is not wrong.
Sam Claflin, who plays the male protagonist, has participated in classic movies.
He starred in the "Hunger Games" series of movies that swept the world;
The role of the handsome preacher "Philip" in "Pirates of the Caribbean 4" made him enter Hollywood from then on;
He also performed a lingering love elegy with the "Dragon Mother" in "Game of Thrones" in "Before I Met You".
▌ Jingmei
It is worth mentioning that the filming location of the movie "Hurricane Waves" is the starting point of the world-famous shipwreck event: Tahiti.
Tahiti is praised by tourists as "the fairy island closest to heaven, a gift from God".
To what extent are "immortals"?
Simply put a few pictures, you feel free to feel:
In order to restore the real scene, the director took a live-action shooting.
The beauty and cruelty of Tahiti are displayed to the fullest, and strive to make the audience truly appreciate the helplessness and strength of human beings in the face of nature.
▌ Love story beauty
Of course, the most beautiful part of the whole movie is the love story of the hero and heroine under the disaster of life and death.
The beauty here is poignant.
After the storm, they have to face a desperate situation in which the sails are destroyed, their lovers are seriously injured, there is no rescue, and there is no hope.
At this time, the only thing they can rely on is each other.
We know that the "love" part of the general movie is very difficult to grasp, and if you are not careful, you will be suspected of dog blood and showmanship.
However, even the slightest love, once it occurs in an extreme environment of life or death, the meaning is completely different.
In the face of catastrophe, some small details that are full of foam are exactly the key to poking at the tears, and the more cruel the environment, the stronger the touching effect.
Here we have to mention the classic love disaster film "Titanic".
Jack and Ruth meet, know, fall in love, and as the cruise ship hits the iceberg, the two finally enter the climax when they part.
"Hurricane Waves" is also like this, a natural disaster that has not been encountered in a hundred years, a promise that is too late to be fulfilled, and a love story that cannot be abandoned.
The so-called afflictions see the truth, more or less.
It is very incredible to think of such a thrilling and catastrophic love story that once truly existed on the surface of the Pacific Ocean.
Director Batasa Komaku is a strange man and an uncompromising disaster master.
After his "Desperate Altitude" and "The Abyss", such a surprise is really expected.
The movie "Crashing Waves" was invested and produced by STX Entertainment, Lakeshore Entertainment, Huayi Brothers, and Ingenious Media.
The most beautiful disaster film, we will wait and see.
