Claudio C @Claudio666 Apr 24 Inspired in a True Story (12,409 – 24 Apr 2026 – Claudio Carvalho) In 1984, in Iceland, the fishermen Gulli (Ólafur Darri Ólafsson), Jón (Stefán Hallur Stefánsson), Palli (Jóhann G. Jóhannsson), Lárus (Þröstur Leó Gunnarsson), Hannes (Björn Thors) and Raggi (Walter Geir Grimsson) leave their island in a trawler to fish. When the net is stuck at the bottom of the sea, the ship capsizes in the cold water of the North Atlantic. Only Gulli survives and swims for six hours to the coast, becoming a miracle. The local scientist travels to London with him to research how a fat, sedentary and smoker could survive. "Djúpið", a.k.a. "The Deep" (2012), is a great Icelander film by Baltasar Kormákur inspired in a true event. The saga of Gulli to survive in the cold water is hard to believe, but is really based on a true story, and the real Gulli appears in the credits. My vote is seven. Title (Brazil): "Sobrevivente" ("Survivor") My Blog: https://maniacosporfilme.wordpress.com/ See more andrea c @Charst 08/27/2024 Buon racconto in classico stile scandinavo, non esageratamente emotivo anche laddove ce ne sarebbero le lecite possibilità; che preferisce invece narrare la vicenda in maniera scientifica e lineare, senza flashback e con un ritmo regolare. La storia vera è senza dubbio incredibile e merita di essere raccontata seppure i punti focali della vicenda non sono molti. Molto interessante è il post salvataggio, con il racconto di un uomo solo che cerca di ritrovare serenità tra lutto e test di medicina che mostrano un lato quasi sempre trascurato di queste vicende che solitamente si concentrano sui momenti della sopravvivenza. Buon progetto con una durata consona al tipo di sceneggiatura.

See more 09/15/2016 The Deep is probably a movie which will disgust you and make you sea-sick after a point, but at its best it is also a very moving film of ordinary, inexplicable survival. See more 09/02/2016 Slight but moving tale that skips melodrama and leaves you idly wondering about its central message. See more 05/02/2016 I was unaware that this was based on a true story until near the end, on finding this out I felt it intensified how brilliant the film was. It is a very dark, bleak style film, very tragic despite its simplicity but I loved it! A must watch ! See more Read all reviews
