Robert Redford and the new movie "All is lost"

The movie is an interesting mix of having useful equipment, mixed preparation and perhaps critical mistakes. I would be interested in your opinions; these were my first thoughts:

1. Crashing into the container – this took place in flat water and very light winds – more likely the sailboat would have bumped first, certainly not puncture a hole above its water line, through which water would then illogically gush.
2. The movie showed some effects of being shot in that Mexican tank used for the Titanic movie – inconsistent waves for example.
3. Attaching a sea anchor to the container likely would do nothing since by far most of the container was already below the water and there was very little surface wind drag.
4. Deliberately crashing the bow into the container – very silly! Why not come gently alongside on the container’s lee and tie off with fenders?
5. He went about everything so slowly – I might have hurried to put the hole on the lee side out of the water, stuffed the hole full of anything – mattresses, bedding, etc., and covered it on the outside lashing that storm sail tightly around the hull.
6. Immediately move all electronics from the incoming seawater to a dry spot. He did indeed flush off the salt but seemingly later when it might have already dried.
7. Start, crank if necessary, the engine to keep the batteries charged.
8. Activate the bilge pumps – it’s inconceivable that the skipper did not have a proper crank for the manual bilge pump absolutely handy.
9. Immediately bail with proper buckets (all boats have buckets!)
10. Never hank on a storm jib during the storm, rather simply leave the boat to drift under the furled jib. Why not unfurl a few inches on the furling jib from the cockpit? It’s impossible for a single-hander to fight a loose sail in those winds, and he paid the inevitable price, being washed overboard.
11. He should surely have had a dodger over the companionway to keep the heavy rain out of the cabin.
12. Never remove the companionway boards during a heavy storm; rather clamber over one or more of them. Always snub the companionway cover tight during the storm. Miraculously when the boat turtled he did not lose his loose companionway boards. Lucky!
13. When he was first washed overboard while hanking on the storm jib, the waves fortunately flattened allowing him to climb back aboard. The same thing when he righted the life-raft. This is unlikely to happen for me!
14. On the second occasion he left the companionway open, the boat turned turtle, he was washed overboard, the boat righted, he went below through the open companionway and it was perfectly dry below!
15. Evidently he had good electronics, some costing thousands, but no EPIRB which costs about $100. I need to get a good EPIRB!
16. He tried to make a May-day (SOS) call (incorrectly); should he have tried a pan-pan call? Dunno.
17. He did not energetically jury-rig his crippled boat and actively sail it towards the shipping lanes for help, but rather seemed to ease up. Come to think of it, the movie distinctly lacks numbers like distances.
18. His electrics failed yet he still climbs the mast to reattach the VHF antenna. The cable was a knurled knob which needs a pliers, not an adjustable wrench – strange mistake for Robert Redford to have made!
19. He used a neat system for climbing the mast, but the tail end of the long line could easily snag on the deck- I might have been inclined to bag the tail and keep it aloft with me.
20. Very lucky to have been able to simply snip a single standing rigging stay to free the broken mast – my mast has eight stays and each would take time for me to sever. Might be better to lash the spars on deck for a potential later jury-rig. Also it's very dicey to board a boat half-full of water because the added weight tips the boat, bringing the stern down below water level and the boat quickly fills and sinks. 
21. It seemed a spacious life-raft for a single handed sailor. The life-raft should have been stowed on deck.
22. His solar still for drinking water was good. There would have been provided in the life-raft a better still.
23. The big fire in the life-raft could have been the result of the deluded thinking of a desperate and irrational man, at the end of his tether.

Just my 2c worth - for more reasonable comments I need to see the movie again!  -Bill
