Viewed ... Well, just to say a few words about the film itself, just knowing it is a classic movie
survivor and inherits all the elements most typical. The story unfolds in a flash, a couple of shots of exotic places (we are in Papua New Guinea, but we could be anywhere ... the exterior has been made in Queensland:-P), a hole in the forest and go! The collection of stereotyped characters is well-stocked, the pundits to talk about high-sounding phrases and fatalistic, the characterization is obviously thin and shallow, so that when they begin to burst like flies, the little thing we have to.
Belli some fields of underwater cathedrals, really attractive, but unfortunately in short fields throughout the decade, in fact, the scenes of dialogue scenes seem stolen from the set of Goonies.
careful, are not critical, is only a general description of a typical Hollywood that periodically gives us memorable films as well. This is just a very classic B-movie
survivor, not at all glamorous, but even worse than many others.
But what most interested me was the approach to the world of cave-divers. Cameron has always had a mad passion for the abyss (the Abyss is still unattainable) but has always sin of superficiality in the approach to the underwater environment. I mean, the team of oceanographers Titanic was the most fake ever seen ... NUMA research vessel that soon as you see in the Sahara is much more realistic and painted with few but precise brushstrokes.
And here we arrive at the "sanctum sanctorum," I can safely say that from the point of view we finally dive. Of course, all to the kind of film we're talking about ... we try to identify and analyze the elements Typical with the eyes of subbaqquo ... is a trick you can do with any other disaster-movie
treated by changing the subject ... ;-)
SUPER-SPECIALIZED TEAM INVOLVED IN MISSION IMPOSSIBLE
That is: the best cave-diving in the world gathered by the young millionaire who organizes round (without good reason) an expedition with great expenditure of men and means to show that a hole in the forest is connected to the sea. Obviously
divers are absolutely dedicated to the mission, almost eager to sacrifice for the good of the mission or not to slow down the others. But let us not be afraid: the film does not want to paint the technical sub as soldiers of fortune to the suicide rate or wishing to be drowning each other from their best friend. It 's just that in this kind of film heroism is thus seen, is a typically American mood. After all, if you read a bit of American literature underwater, it's all presented with the same spirit ... : - \\
OBJECT spurious life saving
There's that too. It is usually a product, sometimes a phrase or passage of some important text. Think, just to stay in theme, the faith of Ed Harris in The Abyss
. Here we have a cave-sub "set with the lights" that gives the child the tooth of a boar which has installed an LED ... what do you serve?? :-D
PARENTAL RELATIONSHIP DIFFICULT
Present. In this case, parent-child, one of the most popular in fact. Bel pretexts to put on stage, albeit superficially (and I believe unintentionally) the lack of understanding towards those who spends Sundays on line tunnels dark and potentially deadly ... "
not by things like a mortgage, home, sofa ... " says the father. "And
'sphincter of a rock, those who want the interest! " said his son back into an other time. A (nice) po 'stereotype, but in fact it happens a bit' to all of us sooner or later subbaqqui of trying to convince someone that basically it is worth to get a bang on the back of steel, neoprene fight, suffer heat, cold or sore sea. ;-)
TECHNICAL TERMINOLOGY HOLDER Sfiga
Here, here the film made me happy: at last a film with divers who say things that would tell divers. A little 'forced, much to depth manual, but at least they are correct. "
no dips alone ", "
never hold your breath," "plans
and Run, do not improvise " just to name a few.
should be pointed out: in these films the technical details are to explain to an audience untrained in how the various characters will die. So if you explain what are the cylinders
bail-out (among other things is the term most popular film ...), if one of the scientists MDD is particularly at risk or at some point bring attention to the mechanism of the descent ... there is a reason! ,-P
However much I appreciated the scene where Frank is to soak in and are viewing the dip, mentally rehearsing emergency procedures ... is short but very evocative (actually, for the benefit of the next scene, further explains things the bail-out).
Bello, though a bit 'forced, even when a team to identify signs of stress with a colleague called him a timely "Anyone can give up a dive at any moment." She obviously tries to hide the stress and decided to go down anyway ... episode very educational, but all things purely from underwater! :-)
SPOTTONI ADVERTISING
Scuba diving is an activity that depends from the equipment, then this film is no exception to the usual advertising system of U.S. films. The three main sponsors are:
- Neptune. Australian company specializing in accessories for water sports, especially wet-suits ... needless to say, their overalls with a 5 mm hypothermia preserves much better than bulky suit. But there is to admit that the model worn by Carl is not bad, a bit 'a surfer, but with a line decismaente Tamarra. :-P
- Sentinel. Reb of the VR, with its characteristic carapace shaped like a spaceship, is the master. And you can put, remove, abuse, push in the most cramped. Above all it is so light that you can wear while you climb up and down the cliffs. And, God forbid, this LED is always green ...
beginning seems to make some bubbles too (it seems that in some scenes the actors would use open circuit "disguised" with the carapace), but can be justified as compensation bubbles coming out of the granfacciale ... about: it's OK to see the face of the actors, but the full-face has a volume a bit exaggerated ...
- SSI. And the cousins \u200b\u200bhave their logo displayed on the outline of one of the cave. Too bad they have chosen what when it should not give up the dip and ends in panic in a more than expected ... is not a very good advertising! :-P
There are other references, I think I saw some form style of the Cressi Big-Eyes and something of Dive-Rite, but there are no logos visible.
short, in itself is not a memorable film, had it not been produced by Cameron would not have had the whole 'is distribution and home video would remain in limbo, like so many other films of the genre, but definitely the most deserving. But from the point of view
subbaqquo deserves. In short, we finally show a little 'how should the general public!! :-D
Small Note to translators: Well done, good job ... But ... in our environment we have ropes, rope, cable, sometimes even the sheets ... but I guarantee you that the "strings" do not exist ... :-P
