From here we’ll analyze a little bit the plot, the script and the performances.

The movie has a spectacular script, this movie never really ends. Here is the visionary of this story and the way it is told.

The film has a clear McGuffin, that is, a plot device, like a concept by Alfred Hitchcock, a simple excuse to move the film: a small yacht one for a small plot, a huge old ocean cruise one for a great plot, the real one important.

The film shows us changes in the perspective we have on the characters, but especially and on the way of the protagonist, Jess. What happens many stages or phases: she is the self-sacrificing mother who is mortified for having left alone her autistic son, she is the romantic interest to the owner of Triangle, she is the one who distrusts everything and eventually becomes the source of distrust.

A bit of Greek mythology gives the film its charm and a new door to the interpretation of what the film really means with the story of Eolo, Lord of the Winds and its destination.

What is the movie really about?

In my opinion, this film has the guilt as its central theme, it is shown as a constant in the message and sense of the film. Being sharp-eyed you notice how the time of beginning of the story is the moment in which Jess has a vehicular accident and her son dies, incapable of accepting the guilt, she deceiving who represents death to relive that moment and tries to change the irremediable, it is notorious as she habitually she is endorsing the guilt, she never has it, the fact that for her there is nothing more important than her son, she will be capable of kill them all for the retribution of the simple opportunity to change the unjust destiny of her son.

Note: Another hypothesis about the film is to say that she murdered her son in a fit of anger (I do not share this version).

I highly recommend this cinematographic work, take risks in the type of films you see, just stop looking at the same story a million times.
