"Dieing together is more personal than living together"

Rating: Null/10 (12 March 2010)

Absolutely superb!!! Hitchcock did an amazing job capturing how it would have felt to be in that situation along with them. How cramped it would have felt, how tested one would feel physically and emotionally and yet connections would develop because they were going this awful and desperate situation together. So many moments of desperation from the baby passing, to the mother committing suicide, to the amputation,and then the delusions right up until the end. How each character shared themselves to one another and the movie just continued to develop. The suspicion arising in each one yet they tried to be fair. How they tried to remain good people possibly better than who they were on ground. The character individually and together had enough depth as the sea itself. This movie could have just had a fixed background and no real elements of the sea what so ever, but it would have ruined it. Hitchcock and all those involved knew that and created a balance. Once you had the slightest feeling they weren't at sea something came along and showed you different. At the end it not only made you hope that they survived it also made you hope that never happens to you.
