Not a movie lover, just happened to watch this movie, and then happened to see a short review, so I checked a little information and said it. The heroine in this movie is a fictitious one, but there is indeed a French professional female pilot Sophie Blanchard who is very similar to the heroine in history, who continued to fly after her husband died. Director Tom Harper said: "We've been trying to change things, at the time, the Royal Society wouldn't have Indians at all (friends of Himesh Patel's hero in the movie), but what's important is that we're doing it for a modern audience. Edit this movie." So it can be said that the director made up the female character and Indian maybe to attract audiences who have a sense of equality for race and gender. Just to make it more commercially valuable.
From my point of view, the core of this film is to allow us to see the unimaginable efforts of scientists behind every scientific advance. Although it doesn't delve too deeply into the complexities of the scientific research environment and social context, it's a straightforward, impressive film.
Emilia Ren is a brave female pilot who yearns for freedom, has her own ideals and supports her husband. It can be said that she is a female character who escaped the background at that time. When she encountered danger in flight, she acted very decisively and bravely and saved Glasher's life.
James Gleisher started out as an unwilling meteorologist with a certain obsession with exploring the sky, like most great scientists. His scientific knowledge saved both his and Emilia's lives as the flight descended.
I think this time the flight, both of them play an important role. Some of Gleisher's seemingly incomprehensible behavior is based on his scientific beliefs. Emilia was an important figure in the success of this flight. Of course, in reality, it was actually Henry Tracey.
