In my opinion Simshar was a very good film. At first it seemed like the film was a little Americanized but it was proved wrong at the end. The film seemed a little Americanized at first because the little boy was going to work with his dad for a couple weeks on the boat. One thing that I did not like about this film was the boat catching on fire even though it was a key part of this film. I did not like this part because three people die from this one action or act. I do not even know how the fire started it seemed as if the boat was off to me but i guess it was not because it could not catch on fire if the boat was off. The fire was probably caused by a electrical problem. I think I saw them grab a fire extinguisher. Why did that not work? Was this realistic? Would they have been able to get the fire to stop if this was reel life? I believe so, I know the film was based on a true story but the fire extinguisher not being able to put the fire out actually makes no sense. Then they tried to get salt water from the ocean to put it out and that does not work either which makes no sense to me. Also if the soldier did not stop or delay the other fishermen search for Simshar then I believe they would have found the dad and son easier and the son would have got to live. Why does the soldier end up getting in trouble for letting the other fishermen look for him? they ended up saving one of their lives.
