I saw Robert Redford's "All is Lost" yesterday.
Very good film and one that's well worth seeing. How can you not be engaged by this sort of subject matter?
Even if you know how it's going to end, you just want to see how things work out.
The plot: a lone mariner wakes up one morning to find that his yacht has struck a floating piece of ocean flotsam (a cargo container) and is leaking badly.
Things just get worse and worse from there. We get storms, squalls, loneliness, bad luck, and bad timing. But watching the protagonist extricate himself from one bad spot after another is ultimately an inspiring experience.
It's just a man against Nature.
And in the end, it's the story of our own lives. All of us.
