Disaster movie "Icebreaker" movie review Afterthoughts Explanation Copy

Soon the Gromov received a telegram from Leningrad.

Gromov was dismissed for unacceptable decision-making errors.

The new captain, High Voltage, would arrive in three weeks.

A yellow and blue helicopter came in.

The co-pilot's seat is the new captain High Voltage.

But the cabin caught fire when the helicopter landed

As they say, new officers have three fires.

This first fire almost ruined the helicopter

As soon as he got off the plane, he called the acting captain a piece of trash

The deck was covered with oil

Scolded Brother Brow for being a trash man who failed to save the ship and even crashed it

Scolded the crew is not organized and undisciplined is a garbage

In short, there is no other meaning

Just say that everyone here is garbage

The chief engineer's cube was thrown overboard by him.

Then he ordered the icebreaker to go at full speed.

But after two weeks the ice was getting thicker and thicker.

The icebreaker tried several times but could no longer move forward.

The crew had their own ideas.

The most popular idea was to blow the ice with fuel drums.

But High Voltage ended the discussion forcefully.

He decided to stay put and wait for Leningrad to rescue him.

Browns told him that he should find a way to get out.

Because the iceberg would probably follow them along the course they had broken.

But High Voltage was too arrogant to believe it.

Then he cut the power to the recreation room.

Ending the crew's entertainment.

and asked for radio silence.

Finally, the ship was simply sectioned off to save energy and wait for help.

The crew suffered under his high-handed policy

The Leningrad officials who received the distress telegram were indifferent.

On this day, he himself went down to the rear of the ship to investigate.

The water had refrozen after days of inactivity.

Soon after, he found the Rubik's Cube that High Voltage had thrown away.

This is the evidence that the iceberg has been following them

He just wanted to report to High Voltage

But accidentally fell into a hole in the ice

The ice hole was at least 10 meters deep and he couldn't get out for sure

Fortunately, the little smart guy, Eyebrow, had a flare gun with him.

Unfortunately, this is a seal's den.

The seal showed his teeth and wanted to eat the penguin.

Even though he tried to talk to him, he couldn't help.

In the end, he fired the flare gun to scare the seal away.

The helicopter pilot found the flare.

The crew searched for a long time to get him out, but he was frozen to the ground.

In the infirmary, he showed High Voltage his nightmare prescription.

High Voltage slammed the door and ignored it.

The Leningrad bureaucracy was cold and inefficient.

The rescue ship was delayed.

And the Gromov, trapped in the Antarctic, was completely frozen.

The crew had nothing to do but entertain themselves.

As a result, High Voltage smashed the pilot's guitar.

He told them to go fix the helicopter when they had nothing better to do.

They couldn't stay on the deck to shovel snow.

A plane from New Zealand passed by.

But High Voltage told the crew to hide.

It's impossible to call for help.

It's impossible to ask for help from another country in this life

I can not afford to be ashamed of the fighting nation

Just as Eyebrow had guessed.

The iceberg was indeed approaching their icebreaker.

The ice around the ship was being severely squeezed.

The walls of the ship were breaking and leaking under the immense pressure.

The iceberg was stopped in its tracks.

The leaks were quickly plugged.

The biggest impact was the flooding of flour and other supplies.

The crew had to eat beans to get by

Time has passed more than two months

Browns could no longer watch and locked the radio room

Intended to send a distress signal to the world by radio

Angry high pressure brother swung an axe to split the door

But Brother Brow suddenly opened the door

It turned out that a telegram came in time

Allowed them to lift the radio silence

And the rescue expedition was on its way.

Leningrad did send an icebreaker to the rescue.

But it was the result of Dame's wife, Dame, who had begged a high official for a long time

Dami is a journalist also went out with the rescue ship

But the sea was rough and the journey was slow.

The first pilot could not stand the pressure

Wanted to escape on foot from this ghost place

After being chased back by the crowd, he got into the faulty helicopter

I did not expect him to kick the helicopter to kick a good

But High Voltage's attitude remained indifferent.

He hid in the warm captain's room and ate and drank, but he didn't go inside.

The cold and hungry crew finally couldn't stand it anymore

Led by the first officer broke into the captain's room and took control of him

Then the first mate ordered the engine room to start all four engines.

At the same time, the only few barrels of fuel were lifted off the ship.

Preparing to blow the ice to get out of the ship

The crew was confident.

They were going to eat all the canned food to celebrate their escape.

Of course the chef didn't want to celebrate with a dry meal before the first word.

Dream on!

Chaos broke out in the restaurant.

The doctor was informed and came to stop some of the crew members who blew up the ice

As a result, because of weak legs in the explosion died

And the ice remained untouched

The crew realized that they were too naive

Now they were all honest.

The doctor was buried in the sea, as he had wished.

The Gromov had been trapped for 133 days.

All supplies were almost depleted.

The fuel would last at most 3 days.

Without fuel to heat the ship, all the people on board would freeze to ice sticks.

The crew is looking forward to the arrival of rescue ships.

But also worried about their previous rebellion will be in court

At that moment, the sailors who lost their voices came in and made some gestures.

It turned out that the iceberg was moving again

The ice had pushed a crack through to the Gromov.

The iceberg was sure to swallow the ship if it remained in place.

The old and the new captain urgently discussed the countermeasures.

At this point, we can only put aside our differences and cooperate to survive the disaster

The Browns plan to go full throttle at the last moment when the iceberg is coming.

Through the ice crack through the side of the iceberg

But the volume of the iceberg below the ice surface is unknown

High pressure brother proposed to take a helicopter to scout around by himself

To show the best place to break the ice.

Soon the Gromov starts its engines.

Brother High Voltage gave a series of instructions from inside the ship.

The lives of all the people on board are in his hands.

30 meters from the iceberg, he entered the crevasse.

But the ship nearly tilted sideways because the bottom touched the ice.

A large number of ice chips fell on the deck

But fortunately, the deadliest chunk was avoided.

The Gromov passed the iceberg without any problems.

But when the high pressure brother returned, he encountered strong sideways currents.

The helicopter was blown uncontrollably towards the iceberg

and eventually crashed after a wild rotation

At this point the rescue ship finally appeared on the radio

But they would have to arrive in two hours at the earliest

By that time, High Voltage and the helicopter pilot would have frozen to death.

The chief of the engine warned Brother Brow

He's going to charge us with rebellion when he gets off the ship.

The implication was that we should just let him die without any evidence.

But he didn't listen to him.

He ordered us to turn back and rescue him.

So the Gromov approached the iceberg again.

Fortunately, the two men in the helicopter were all right.

Unfortunately, the pilot's foot was stuck.

The iceberg was still collapsing and the ship couldn't get too close.

The helicopter fell into the water.

High pressure brother to help the pilot out of the trap himself did not climb out

The pilot weighed up

A heart to go into the water to pull out the high pressure

The sailor who lost his voice was the first to find the two in the water

But he gestured a while no one saw

Finally in a hurry, he shouted out

The crew worked together to save the two men

A crisis was lifted

The iceberg was so angry that it broke apart and exploded in place

Finally, the thick eyebrows and his wife successfully reunited and hugged each other tightly

The Gromov was brought out of the ice by the rescue ship

On land high pressure brother's wife suffering from heart disease

He gave birth to a baby boy and the mother was safe.

High Voltage was so happy that he called a crew meeting

He didn't want to sue them

Home to his wife and children is the real thing

Besides, these crew members are not bad in nature

Icebreaker was released in 2016.

It's a Russian drama disaster film

The story is a happy ending

Only the inefficient and ruthless bureaucracy of the former Soviet Union is criticized

Unlike traditional films that focus on historical hardship

The film focuses more on contrasting the management style of the two captains

Brow has no authority and his team is very cohesive

But in times of trouble

But in times of trouble, it is easy to trigger the team's doubts about his ability

leading to his dismissal after being reported

High Voltage has authority

His team is very orderly and executive

But his toughness makes people depressed and desperate

Until someone with ulterior motives starts a rebellion.

It is impossible to judge which is the better or worse of the two.

Perhaps, as the film's finale suggests

Only a combination of the two is what this team needs

(End)
