Wealthy Rollo Treadway (Buster Keaton) suddenly decides to propose to his neighbor across the street, Betsy O'Brien (Kathryn McGuire), and sends his servant to book passage for a honeymoon sea cruise to Honolulu. When Betsy rejects his sudden offer however, he decides to go on the trip anyway, boarding without delay that night. Because the pier number is partially covered, he ends up on the wrong ship, the Navigator, which Betsy's rich father (Frederick Vroom) has just sold to a small country at war.
Agents for the other small nation in the conflict decide to set the ship adrift that same night. When Betsy's father checks up on the ship, he is captured and tied up by the saboteurs. Betsy hears his cry for help and boards the ship to look for him, just before it is cut loose.
The Navigator drifts out into the Pacific Ocean. The two unwitting passengers eventually find each other. At first, they have great difficulty looking after themselves, but adapt after a few weeks. At one point, they sight a navy ship and hoist a brightly-colored flag, not realizing it signals that the ship is under quarantine. As a result, the other vessel turns away.
Finally, the ship grounds itself near an inhabited tropical island and springs a leak. While Rollo dons a deep sea diving suit and submerges to patch the hole, the black natives canoe out and take Betsy captive. When Rollo emerges from the ocean, the natives are scared off, enabling him to rescue Betsy and take her back to the ship. The natives return and try to board the ship. After a fierce struggle, Rollo and Betsy try to escape in a small dinghy. It starts to sink, and the natives swiftly overtake them in their canoes. Just when all seems lost, a navy submarine surfaces right underneath them and they are saved.
剪辑很好，简洁有力，干净利落地向观众交代清楚了复杂时代下的复杂事件，体现了好莱坞的工业水准。但是我并不是很能共情这些被审判的人，也许在历史事实上他们的遭遇确实有引人义愤的一面，可当他们的事迹进入文化工业，成为好莱坞在选战中的手榴弹，那么他们的角色和他们自身就都已经变成了工具人。
对于这段历史不了解，但整个影片发展到后期令人热血沸腾，是那种压抑后的热泪盈眶~
9.11二十周年，当初岛上停留的旅客，机组成员和原住民给彼此带来的温暖延续到了现在，女机长的部分全剧最佳。愿战争远离我们，和平不易。
民运也许存在很多问题，但这绝不是思想审判的正当理由。当法律沦为政治的走狗，那么自然法上的正义就不复存在了。对正当程序的背弃、对政治迫害的容忍、以及对公民最基本权利（生命和自由）的肆意剥夺，都是这种状态孕育而生的产物。这是一个完完全全的警察国家。
看完之后又去回顾了下911事件 窒息和难受
“我从来没有想过我要为我的思想而受到审判”。要常常翻翻自己的旧帐烂账脏账，对着镜子照照自己那张碧莲（简称 以史为镜）。
隔离，灾难，剧院，都让我眼泪汪汪。世界戏剧节快乐，早日剧院见🙏
把生命简化成名字，这就是战争的意义，唯有在战争期间，杀戮才被舆论认同，好莱坞依然过于鲜明的价值观输出，this is a political trial, this is a propaganda film，
欧美律政剧均秉持的同一观点，即:反对政府及其政策不代表不爱国，因为政府是为国家服务的，反而，将党派、政府与爱国高度绑定，对对于前者的监督、批评与质询视为“反动”才是最大的反动。
人家的主旋律电影……结尾交待，霍夫曼法官在年度评级中，被78%的芝加哥庭审律师评为“不合格”！
索金成为一流导演的最大障碍就是他是超一流编剧。
是什么造成这次冲突的？是我们的血。摘下警徽和编号的警察半个世纪后还能复刻的。结合在这片土地发生的事情真的太感触了……全世界都在看着，那个岛起码还能看到吧，这片土地的深处就看不到了，甚至没有审判。法庭上的博弈也好，律师激辩也好，联邦巡回法院的驳回也好，这个题材和这部电影本身也好，美国为什么是灯塔的所有理由。
开始还以为是揭露美国司法黑暗的片子，哪里知道人家司法体系居然真有纠错机制，堂堂大总统想定几个老百姓的罪居然都定不下来。公正的法律的重要性，大多数人大概只有在自己被审判的时候才能体会到。
Very well orchestrated, 但是太 煽 了。这样的剧本，如果对它有满分的信念，又为什么要剪辑和音乐助力呢。
很索金。政治的讲，索金对美国这个制度还是抱有信心的，这大概就是美国特色的四个自信。
动人，十分动人。多视角多线路zoom in on人们在灾难发生时的真实状态：\机长/、镇长、中东人、教徒、母亲、动物保护者……Something‘s gone. 祈祷和高潮妙绝。Be a Newfoundlander! You are here in Gander town——结合严重疫情仍处于封闭时期的现状，我是被何打动而为何哭泣？
即便明知是索金毫无避讳射出的完全自我的左翼连珠炮，也愿意毫无保留地被击中；即便明知这是篇诞生于特殊时期的战斗檄文，也愿意不加抵抗地被俘获：在不公与强权下固守着理想主义最后防线的受审者，他们的呼号是横亘时代的宣言。
当警察微笑摘下警徽，我觉得这比任何恐怖片的镜头更加让人毛骨悚然
“Do you have contempt for your government?” - "It's nothing compared to the contempt my government has for me”
仿佛在看好老婆。立个flag今年补完West Wing！
