Summary of "The Old Man and the Sea"

The summary of "The Old Man and the Sea" is as follows:

In Cuba, an old fisherman named Santiago (played by Spencer Tracy) lives in a small shack by the sea. Living a life of poverty, with no friends and no one to rely on, only a boy named "Manolin" went to chat with him and help him pack his fishing tools. The old fisherman was very unlucky recently. He didn't catch a fish for 84 days in a row. Although the bad luck was overwhelming, the old fisherman didn't give up. On the 85th day, he went to sea optimistically.

This time, he was very lucky and caught a huge marlin. Because the marlin was too huge and stronger than the old fisherman, the marlin took the old fisherman and his raft. Dragging it to the deep sea in the center of the ocean, the old fisherman fought for three days and three nights. With his strong will, he overcame loneliness, pain and hunger, and killed the marlin. He tied the marlin to the boat. Start returning home. The blood of the marlin attracted sharks in the ocean, and they desperately snatched the meat of the marlin. Although the old fishermen tried their best to kill many sharks, the meat of the marlin was eventually robbed. When he returned home, only a skeleton of the marlin was left, so he began to eat the bones of the marlin. Extended information:
