hero in ruins

The heroes didn't charge, fought bloody battles this time, and were buried in the rubble of the collapsed World Trade Center before they even started their rescue work.
This is a true story, the protagonists of the film are the 18th and 19th people who were rescued from this man-made disaster that shocked the world, and two of only 20 survivors of 9/11 .
Perhaps this sudden disaster caused too much harm to the American people. Five years later, this film still does not directly attack the incident itself, but sets off the disaster by describing the rescue of two policemen buried in the rubble. .

Stone brings us more of a reflection on human nature than a judgment on the events themselves. In the face of disaster, in the face of death, some people retreat, and some people stand up. In the face of death, the two police officers buried in the rubble supported and encouraged each other because of their nostalgia for their relatives and their love for life. Although they were also afraid and disappointed, they never gave up to survive. Faith, don't give up, don't give up. The two big families are also the focus of the film's description. Relatives watch and help each other, wives and husbands, children and fathers, and friends. What the film wants to convey to us is the warmth of humanity. How despicable and shameful are the peace-destroying forces in front of the brilliance of human nature, they disregard life and use the lives of others to achieve their goals.

Although the building collapsed, it did not destroy people's will, and made people realize the preciousness of peace.

    In fact, it is not as intense and exciting as imagined, most of the time is the scene after being buried, but after all, it is a real thing, Oliver Stone fully demonstrated the amazing perseverance of these two policemen. I just have one question: why does Michael Pena look so familiar?

    I have watched too many disaster movies, so now I only occasionally lament the progress of CG. But this one is different. After all, it happened not long ago, so I feel very much. . . Unspeakable taste. . .
