(2012) The Deep/ Djúpið
(In Icelandic with English subtitles)
DRAMA
What appears to look like a routine fishing movie turns into a lot more. Viewers should watch this without knowing anything about it, for the reason I am jotting a review is so that I can remember that I had seen it. People should stop reading reviews now, because it's another movie about circumstances. Once viewers know what it's about then you do not need to see it anymore. Co-produced, co-written and directed by Baltasar Kormákur, which as I had said at the opening, as we see the daily routine of a large guy, Gulli (Ólafur Darri Ólafsson) who drinks and smokes with his friends at the bar the night earlier before hoping onto fishing vessel, he coincidentally meets the new cook, Raggi (Walter Grímsson). And after the following morning, we then see Gulli meeting the rest of his fishing crew of skipper, Jón (Stefán Hallur Stefánsson), Hannes (Björn Thors) and Palli (Joi Johannsson). One of the dangerous things about fishing is when the gill net catches a snag from the rocks, the reason why it's safer catching fish on deeper waters. On the first snag, the skipper was able to shake the net off loose, but as soon as it catches the second snag the fishing vessel tips over, killing everyone on board except for Gulli. As he manages to swim through cold temperatures to the nearest town, and call for help. Wanting the coast guards to recover the bodies. It is also a movie about survival which after the one hour mark scientists are conducting experiments on him, attempting to figure out how an overweight man who smokes and drinks is able to endure it. And the answer was that it may have something to do with his massive weight, and what his diet used to be, which some have concluded it could be the seal meat he used to consume. It is remarkable because it is based on an actual person viewers were able to see what Gulli actually looked like during the end credits, as he is being questioned about how he is able to survive on below freezing waters.
