Umizaru

Two divers,40 meters underwater.One tank with 30 bar,enough for one to return safely.What would you do?
Umi means sea, zaru means monkey.Sea monkey,some might think it's a funny name, some might think it's wierd.But for me,i think it's simple but there's a deep meaning behind that name. i always thought sea is the most beatiful thing mother nature can have, it contains food,it create life,and the smell of it,it's so refreshing.But the sea, it's a dangerous place too, it's mysterious and full of deep, dark secret.On land,human laugh at monkyes,thier clumsy moves,the way the climb tree,or the way they escape from human,looks funny right?But in the sea, human looks like monkey.Even for a diver or a swimmer, they look clumsy in water, even they are skillfull enough,they still have to escape from the sea if there's danger, just like monkeys escape from human.For me, i think that is why this movie is call umizaru.Eventhough human are smartest creature on earth,they can conquer land, forest, but not the sea.14 recruits had submitted for 50 day training course to become elite Rescue Divers.All of them are Navy pilots and had worked on sea for a long time, but, to dive in the sea to rescue people it's not an easy job.In that 50 days, they learned friendship,they learned to love life, a human life, and escape from death.While watching this movie, i had a lot of thoughts in my head, and my emotion run wild.I cried there, i was nervous, i was scard and i could feel myself shaking not because of the cold.I felt like as if in in that situation, what would i do?
"Two divers,40 meters underwater.One tank with 3o bar,enough for one to return safely.What would you do?"This is the question asked in the movie.One person said,"i'll leave my partner behind, the best must come up alive."Another said,"i try my best to think of something to save us both."in the end both of them were caught 40 meters under the sea with 30bars of oxygen.Alas, the best didn't come up, and the other one didn't think of anything to save them both, they just can wait and believe the other trainiees to save them.It's the deep relationship, the bound between the 14 trainees that save both of them.After they graduate, they've learn to not just to be a good life saver,but a better man.Stepping out of the cinema,i've learned a lot too, my tear tank and stomach are empty but my heart and mind are full.Lessons i've learned in this movie, umizaru will be with me and stay in my heart untill the day i die, and i believe it will make me a better person.
