What most interested me about this feeling was that it was a new experience of life. Beneath the anger, I discovered, lay tremendous sadness. I was instead walking about for days on end feeling deeply, deeply sad. I first went back into my childhood and released tremendous anger at how I had been treated by my mother.Īfter working through these feelings in the first few sessions, however, I noticed something strange. I first encountered my sadness when I engaged, over a month-long period, in a 10-session course of feeling release therapy with a trained counselor. After this discovery, however, I realized that I was far more interested in feeling the deep sadness which is an integral part of life. I had until then said my goal in life was to be “happy”. Upon exploring my psychological issues rather late in life I discovered something entirely unforeseen: that while I had been unconsciously avoiding feeling “sad” my entire life this emotion was not only satisfying but a key to who I really am. No moment on this anything-but-love boat has the impact of, say, the seasickness sequence of “ Triangle of Sadness,” but slaughter stans will get their butchery bellyfuls.Depression, Existential Issues, Life Affirming Death Awareness, Self Development One wishes the action were more thought through - there are many, many instances of armed killers and cops just standing there and watching as their friends get their skulls smashed in - and a hint of characterization would have helped. The plot doesn’t make a heck of a lot of sense, but does it matter? If you’re on this cruise, you’re here for the bruises (and copious arterial sprays).

Let’s just say, cinematically, it’s a much more efficient violence-delivery device than even this horde of homicide-loving yahoos. The twist is there’s something else on board that will pose a bigger, gorier, grislier problem than even a ship full of murderers with insufficient adult supervision. Of course the prisoners will get loose, that’s a given, and then the kill-fest will begin in earnest.
