      Injustice hero

      Just because Giovanni Ribisi humanely portrays the role of aircraft designer Elliott as a courageous and somewhat childish plump image, the logic of the whole film is wrong. In fact, the aircraft designer only needs to be a typical face-made villain, and the film will have no major loopholes. The captain Dennis Quaid, who represents justice, bravery and sympathy, can lead his supporters to become heroes of Gao Daquan. Can Giovanni Ribisi's interpretation of the character...

      My favorite to watch the whole movie is that airplane model designer

      Compared with him, everyone else is really average. . . He is careful + public revenge, but very charming. In that desperate situation, he was still calm, thinking clearly, full of confidence in himself, and acted decisively. These few points alone are far beyond ordinary people. Clothes are always the neatest, wearing small sunglasses all day, working meticulously. . . Later, when I saw him being beaten, I was really wronged for him.

      In the end, he actually got into NASA to work,...

      "Phoenix Tribulation": Hope, Unity and Trust

      1. Lucky: Air crashes, storms, robbers, they all encountered, and they all resolved the disaster one by one. Are they gods? no. Lucky is not inborn, it requires some opportunities, some courage, and the right time.
          2. Unity: At first, this group of people sat in the middle of the desert and waited for death. Later, in order to get out of this vast uninhabited land, they teamed up to build a light aircraft. Chairman Mao said that many people are powerful, and many people are easy to...

      The plot is average, and some of the lines in the play are pretty good!

      The plot is in line with the consistent style of this type of film in the United States, heroism, teamwork, and finally a successful escape! There is nothing particularly memorable. The lines part is okay, one of my favorite lines is: I think a man only needs one thing in life. He just needs someone to love. If you can't give him that, then give him something to hope for. And if you can't give him that, just give him something to do.
         I think a person only needs one thing in his life: he...

      "Phoenix Tribulation": defeating nature with hope and dream

      A person's life only asks for one thing, only someone to love; if he can't satisfy him, let him expect something; if he still can't satisfy him, let him do whatever he wants.

      Hopes and dreams are the spiritual pillars that support people, and they are also the most basic spiritual motivation for living. They are indispensable regardless of whether they are in adversity or not. Only when the body has enough spiritual support can it be transformed into energy. Therefore, it is often...

    Background creation

    Because the filming location of "Flight of the Phoenix" needs to be in an area where no one lives, the crew explored Morocco, Australia and other places before the filming of the film, but these locations they investigated were full of telephone poles, houses, and highways. , Which does not meet the shooting requirements. Later, the crew found that Namibia in southwest Africa met the sense of desolation required for the filming of the...

    Evaluation action

    "Flight of the Phoenix" except for the opening section of the aircraft in distress, the overall image is unremarkable. The desert scenes in the film are mostly static and magnificent, and the desert storm that can really satisfy the audience's curiosity has not been satisfactorily performed in the film   . The scenes of yellow sand and hurricanes in the desert can only be regarded as pediatrics. From the perspective of dynamic and...
