THE GUARDIAN, so others may live

ytd was a pretty good day. went to watch The Guardian with a friend. The show was great, many have gave bad ratings bout the show but i give 2 thumbs up!! the show was simply great

Spoiler: Click to read my review

the show depicts the job and life of a US coastal guard Rescue officer. bout how this guy saves people who are stuck in the sea. where he will jump out of the helicopter and swims thru the gigantic waves hoping he'll save as many as he could while risking his life. later on he faced a situation where his whole crew got killed in a accident and he was the only survivor, even his best friend died.

he suffered a few injuries, broken and fractured bones all over, thus, his OC transfered him into the coastal sch where he train a new batch of rescuers, with his own methods. this led to a unhappiness among some of his trainers. during the trainings a guy, by the name of Fish, caught his attention. he was (ashton k) a elite swimmer but what really caught his attenion was the fact that the guy had an egoistic attitude and challenged to break all the records that he held. but later on he then realized the meaning of a rescuer. after he passed out he was being selected by his trainer to go thru the same job, because he was a naturally swimmer and possessed a mentality to save ppl.

a situation came when he remembered the accident that had happen to his crew. but luckily Fish was with him, knocking sense into him to rescue the kayakers(victims). he then knew it was the end of his career. after returning back, he signed and handed his resignation letter.

when he was about to leave, he passed the control room and he overheard that Fish was stuck in the vessel where he tried to rescue the captain. they were in need of a swimmer, he then put on his equipment and headed to the sea once again. while trying to rescue Fish back something happened, the cable was bout to snap and he released himself into the sea in order that Fish may be saved. He perished into the sea, thus he was named the guardian of the sea that save lives.

To me after watching the movie, a few things was impressed on me. the how great and noble rescue officers of the US coastal guards. how they risk and even willing to sacrifice their lives to rescue other.

"so others may live" their motto.


i think what the director was trying to express is that we shouldnt take the rescuer/coastal guard for granted. despite them not being seen as the front warriors of the country, they are actually the one saving the people. he's also trying to show that they actually have a difficult life because they have to manage btw their job and their families, being 24/7 ready. there alot to write bout this film, but im very lazy to.

plot: 4.5/5
