that spell binds the viewer in awe. Deep Water is a movie that also
untiring efforts of seamen in a boat race that results in tragedy.

Deep Water as a documentary movie that captures a true event and true test of an
individuals quest for success. Honour, knighthood and wealth of previous
winners of the non stop single handed round the world sailing race of 1968
sets the background for the movie.http://www.phase9.tv/moviereviews/deepwater.shtml
Donald Crowhurst an Englishman becomes the focus of the movie in this sailboat race. An exploration and transformation of his character, his family and the life's around him is revealed in the movie. More heartrending than its portrait of the psychological transformations wrought by severe seclusion, though, is Deep Water's depiction of the way in which dreams, if not properly considered, can become lethal traps.http://www.slantmagazine.com/film/review/deep-water/3063
Deep Water is a documentary, but it's also one part adventure film, one part Greek tragedy, and one part meditation on the role of the "hero" in modern society. http://www.reelviews.net/php_review_template.php?identifier=412 As an adventure it is around the world by sea facing the ocean by yourself. As a Greek tragedy it explores and opens the viewer to a mans death and tragedy that could not be escaped. As a hero in modern times it shows how resilient dedicated and determined a hero must be to be successful.
Deep Water as a gripping account asks us to first imagine a world without extended weather forecasts, special prepackaged foods and high-tech global-positioning systems, and then try to conceive the courage it took to head out into the vast oblivion of the ocean for nearly 10 months, alone. http://movies.tvguide.com/deep-water/review/290032 Even today with our technology it is almost unimaginable that one would even contemplate such a voyage sailing alone. Interviews in the movie with Donald Crowhurst's family bring home the reality that the movie depicts on the screen. The voyage, the characters, the sea and reality of the movie comes across to both inspire and chill the audience.
