On March 31, 2019, 30 rescuers died in the deep forest fire in Liangshan, Sichuan. A movie I watched a long time ago, when I heard the news, I immediately thought of this movie. I salute all the firefighters, and the hero has gone all the way. The fire is described in the movie: When the fire burns, it's like a 100-car train running over you. You have to bury your face in the cold soil and try to breathe. As long as you can breathe, you can survive. While watching the movie, they were surrounded by fire, I thought they would survive until the rescue force arrived, after all, this is a movie, and everyone was happy at the end. But I forgot that this is an adaptation of a real thing, and reality is cruel. How can the years be quiet, it's just that someone is carrying the load for you. Salute again to all the firefighters, the hero has gone all the way.

    Nothing is more moving than reality itself. This film is well versed in this. There is no thick ink depicting heroes, only flowing lines. You can't tell how many lives they've saved, other than knowing that they guarded an ancient tree of national treasure. In their memory, only their unwillingness, anger, laughter, and persistence in work and life remain. The main theme is moving, not because of the purposeful gilding, but because of the respect for the living and ordinary individuals.

Only the Brave quotes

  • Duane Steinbrink: I know you boys are looking for sympathy. You'll find that in the dictionary somewhere between shit and syphilis.

  • Eric Marsh: Fire's making a run for our line, and by the time she gets here she's going to be too strong to hold. Gonna crown that ridge, spot over and run straight into town. If we back burn this side of the mountain, by the time that bitch comes over it won't have no fuel to feed into.

    Evaluator Hayes: That's a godawful idea. All the conditions favor the fire, and when that blaze comes down that mountain it's gonna kick your ass and use your burn to get even stronger, we won't be able to stop it.

    Eric Marsh: Well our line's not gonna hold unless we burn it off.

    Evaluator Hayes: Well then slow it down until we get more resources up here.

    Eric Marsh: What you don't understand sir...

    Evaluator Hayes: What you don't understand is forty years, son. I was on the job when you were still shitin' yellow, so if you think you're gonna to make a big move and impress me, i'm tellin' you right now, don't!

    Eric Marsh: Due respect sir, you are just an observer, so let us do our job...

    Evaluator Hayes: No, you...

    Eric Marsh: No no no! Step off, now! Step... off!
