If disaster movies are all about how to save the world, then a real disaster movie should talk about how to save yourself.
Directed by Batasa Komaku, "Hurricane Waves" is based on real events, the film involves the illusion of human consciousness, using the interweaving of reality and illusion to present the audience with the protagonist's difficult self-help on the brink of life and death, as well as a tear-jerking love story.

With the development of the feminist movement, the idea of women's awakening has also swept into the film field, and more and more filmmakers have begun to use their works to challenge the traditional male-centered values and create a variety of female images that dare to accept challenges, dare to take responsibility, and adhere to personal ideals.
The movie "Stormy Waves" shows the strength of women very well, although it is a disaster film, but it looks more like a literary film, it uses the theme of the shipwreck, showing the shocking vitality and willpower of women, so that people have more cognition and thinking about the potential and strength of women.
The 1983 Pacific hurricane shipwreck, known as the top ten real disasters in the United States, the impact of this event is still ranked first in the world's sea wrecks! The film tells the story of amateur sailing yacht Tammy Oldham and her fiancé driving a sailboat across the Pacific Ocean, only to encounter a top hurricane on the way, and struggling to save themselves in the absence of food, the sailboat was destroyed, and there was no rescue...
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > life is desperate</h1>
In the vast sea, a small boat that has long been destroyed by a hurricane, and a fiancé who has lost his mobility, coupled with the lack of food and water, this may be a desperate situation that many girls dare not think, superwoman does not necessarily have to save the world, as long as it survives the desperate situation, it is superwoman. In "Hurricane Waves", the protagonist has already faced other difficulties long before the shipwreck, that is, the spiritual crisis brought to her by childhood trauma.
The whole film is filmed from the perspective of the heroine, she grew up freely in Santiago, raised by her grandparents, and her mother was unmarried and pregnant at the age of 15, gave birth to her, so that she did not complete high school, when the heroine was 16 years old, her mother with an uninhibited nature took her to the bar, in the heroine's memory, there is very little father figure, but in the memory before the age of 10, the father will often visit her, but after 10 years old, the grandfather and grandmother began to refuse the father to come to the door, When she was a child, the heroine could not understand what really happened between the elders, so she always had a complicated attitude towards her father.
The 24-year-old heroine still can't plan her life well, just live with interest, traveling around is her way of life, after barely completing high school, she has no education and is not willing to engage in stable work, so at the beginning of the movie, when the customs staff asked her about her occupation, she replied that she would do any job that would allow her to reach her next destination.
However, her rich life experience and sailing experience are the most important part of her survival.
It turns out that desperate circumstances can make a vegetarian pick up a harpoon to dive and fish in order to survive, and it will also make her excited for a bottle of wine, and we also see a woman's hysterical anger and confused expression on the surface of the king's sea, in fact, female audiences can more or less see their own shadows when watching this movie.
You may see women in the workplace in a trance after working overtime, or see a stay-at-home mom who is eager to finish cooking and pick up her children... Every "disaster" in life is unexpected and terrible for every woman, but after you have cried, laughed, struggled, and feared, you have survived, and strong willpower along the way is the strongest weapon for women.
Freud once pointed out: "The mechanism of self-defense is an irrational or distorted way of coping with anxiety, psychological conflict or frustration adopted by the individual unconsciously or semi-consciously, which is the function of the self." In the important work of psychoanalysis, The Self and the Self, Freud also proposed the idea that the complete personality of man consists of three parts: the self, the ego, and the superego.
It is difficult for these three to be in a state of equilibrium, and a state of imbalance and conflict is absolute and lasting. But in such a situation, in order to alleviate and eliminate such conflicts, people have developed a self-defense mechanism, which is a psychological self-defense function.
The heroine in the encounter with a hurricane, fell into an unprecedented despair and frustration, but also lost contact with the outside world, no part of her body is good, and the most anxious and painful thing for her is that her favorite fiancé lost track, in fact, see the end, the audience can also learn the fiancé's whereabouts from the plot, he has been hit by the waves as early as when the hurricane overturned the boat, at the end of the movie, the heroine sat up from her fiancé, her eyes were extremely firm and sad and said: "Richard, I'm sorry, I have to get you out. ”
At this time, the audience knew that the original heroine's lover had long been killed in the shipwreck, and the only person who repeatedly wandered in hope and despair was her... When she is alone, the heroine gradually accepts the fact of "ship destruction", but is unwilling to accept the fact that her fiancé is dead in any way, so her inner self-defense mechanism begins to activate.
Still want to remind you that this movie is not a disaster movie, but a love film with the title of a disaster movie, students who want to watch a disaster movie may be disappointed, but the most terrible thing about this movie is the so-called "real people and real things adaptation", let people find that the original love is really happening in this world, the original world really has two souls that are so close, God gave them love, but so short.
According to the mainstream values to evaluate, the heroine obviously belongs to the marginal people in this society, she has no fixed job, wandering around is in the sea, after meeting a man who is eleven years older than herself, the two fall in love and quickly get engaged, in fact, a person who belongs to the edge does not mean that her fate is tragic and cruel, on the contrary, as long as she has a kind of self-confidence, know what she wants, every day can live very happy.
The heroine has endless power in her body, not a person who will be bound by rules, and now she is very happy, has married and had children, and happily watches her story being made into a movie, she said: "I am very glad to live in an era when women have a voice, I have always heard that men can overcome wolves, men can conquer the sea, it is time to show the power of women - they can overcome any obstacles in life." 」 ”
At the end of the film, there appeared a sentence: "She never stopped sailing", this sentence brought a strong shock to the audience, a short sentence, I don't know how many people were awe-struck, it turned out to have experienced disaster and pain Tammy Oldham, or to face it, because it can also bring cherishing. She did not hate disasters, nor did she think of conquering the sea, we can see in her the original love of life.
