The movie "The Balloon Man" stars Eddie Redmayne and Felicity Jones.
It tells about the experience of scientist James and hot air balloon pilot Amelia exploring the sky in a hot air balloon in England in 1862.
This cast, this theme... is the Theory of Everything back?
Another strong British-style biopic.
Since I started the "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find" series, it feels like I haven't seen Eddie like this in a long time.
Eddie Redmayne, among the actors with the first temperament, ranks first in my short history of watching movies.
Coming to this film, the characterization is still very successful, after all, Eddie's face looks like a scientist.
In the first few minutes, the meticulous preparations for the flight showed the rigor, restraint and elegance of the characters.
The female character Amelia is a fictional character, and her appearance with a carriage and waving ribbons really catches all the attention.
Wearing an exaggerated skirt, throwing the dog (with a parachute) from the sky, overflowing the screen with confidence, boldness and madness.
Although it was only a few minutes, I felt that these two people should fly into space together.
They are the same people.
Sure enough, when the hot air balloon flew away from the crowd, Amelia quickly took off her beautiful dress and put on a convenient flight suit.
At that moment, Amelia's inner world began to be felt.
Although she looks lively and cute on the outside, she is actually deep and rich inside.
Behind the flamboyant performance is the ultimate pure spiritual pursuit.
On the other hand, James’s extreme and irresponsible performance on the hot air balloon later, although it was for the pursuit of science and infinite exploration, it still seemed unscientific and unprofessional, full of stubbornness, ego, and extreme madness.
Fortunately, due to Amelia's rationality and firmness, the two had a chance to descend, and her bravery and decisiveness finally made her stand on the hot air balloon, just like standing on the top of the sky.
It's not so much a biopic, it's a very realistic adventure film, a very neat commercial blockbuster.
The flight preparations at the beginning make people quickly enter the background of the times and integrate into the atmosphere of the scene.
The memories interspersed in a timely manner after flying to the sky, clearly understand the choice of the two today, especially in the memory of Amelia's husband's death is the most shocking.
However, this time James and Amelia's hot air balloon trip was far more thrilling than before.
The first big trouble they encountered in the sky was a storm. Amelia was directly thrown out of the hot air balloon, and the flight danger was instantly pulled to the top.
When preparing to land, the valve could not be opened, and Amelia was thrilled to climb the hot air balloon. When she fainted, she was only suspended in the open sky by a protective rope, making it impossible to breathe.
Back on the ground, overweight again, Amelia's sense of urgency to jump and not jump motivates James to finally bring himself and Amelia safely back to the ground through science, or rather, through the laws of how things work.
"Hot Air Balloon" does not seem so "biographical", but what it conveys to people is valuable.
Through such artistic presentation, people can recall the great people of the past and understand the great attempts they have made.
Even through the characters in the movie, I can see my heart.
When the hot air balloon reached 23900, James and Amelia were very excited. For them, it was the moment they have been waiting for all their lives.
James didn't want to go down, just to get a little closer to the stars in the sky, a little closer.
Thinking of my father in "Interstellar Exploration", he chose not to return to Earth, and just wanted to continue exploring in space.
Whether it's a hot air balloon or a spaceship, there are people who want to explore something.
In the high sky, there is no sound at all, and I can hear my inner voice more clearly.
James and Amelia, scientists and aviators, they want to explore knowledge, but also their own hearts.
And this kind of exploration, as James said, requires extraordinary courage.
the sky is so vast
go to it
