On the surface "Rogue" is about showcasing the raw power and majesty of a mighty barrel wave in the ocean. Yes, it's dramatic. Yes, it's breathtaking. Yes, it's awe inspiring but... it's so much more than that.
The oceans are a non stoppable force that is both friend and foe. They gently caress ships as they make passage across the seas so their passengers and goods can safely each their destinations. Yet they can also violently consume those same ships, swallowing them whole, never to be seen again. The power of the ocean can be nurturing and life giving while it can also be overwhelming, colossal and destructive. Regardless of whether it chooses to be gentle or dangerous, it is always unstoppable.
Human society considers itself the conquerer of the earth, the commander of progress, industry and animal civilisation and yet, no matter how hard we try, we can never conquer the ocean. She remains a supreme power at all times. Regardless of whether she creates tiny ripples or overwhelming tsunamis and rogue waves, she is always the master. She is unstoppable and now and again she delivers a rogue wave just to remind us that nature can never be conquered.
