brave is not enough

The first half of the movie was a bit bland, but after watching it, I had some understanding of the American fire protection system, and I also fully portrayed the characteristics of several main characters. The scene of the firefighting in the second half was very shocking. There were only a few small bushes on the bare ground, but the wind was strong and dry, and it was terrifying to burn. Due to the sudden change in the wind direction, the firefighters were too late to do protective isolation... I always thought they would survive, but the result... so true.... It stopped abruptly, just right, without danger, without rhetoric. Thinking of the recent forest fire in Muli County, Sichuan, 30 lives, including 27 firefighters, if the stories behind them were made into a movie, it would be equally touching and sad. In that situation, courage is not the first, professional training quality is king. Likewise, in urban fires, the same is true. This kind of film must be real, and the audience can learn the knowledge of self-help, rather than just praise heroes with this kind of theme. However, in peacetime, those who sacrificed for public affairs are all heroes worthy of respect.

    There is no personal heroism, no super special effects, and no excessive exaggeration. Instead, he chose to pay tribute and remembrance, plain and sincere, and belong to the epitaph of the unknown and the forgotten. It is a pity that the portrayal of the group portrait is too restrained, leaving only the faces of a small number of people.

    The first half was a bit long-winded, and the editing was confusing. At the climax, a fire finally produced the atmosphere of a disaster movie. The ending is quite impactful. It is better to watch the movie without understanding the prototype of the event.

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!
