Above ten thousand meters, above reality

No need for magic and magical animals this time, and the little freckles flew higher.

A flight that made human history, a height that made history, the movie took 100 minutes to show the historical moments in 100 minutes

This film can be regarded as a combination of suspense, thriller, biography and other themes, and there is also a pair of small freckles and Jones who have cooperated wonderfully. .

The "Theory of Everything" that the two collaborated on before is very good

I personally prefer to watch movies where most of the scenes are confined to one corner. In this small 3-square-meter hot air balloon basket, the two protagonists have experienced bad luck such as heavy rain, severe cold, air leakage, crash, etc. No matter how you can't escape the three-meter bucket room, the distance is so close, and I also see more personality collisions between the two. The film also intensifies this collision by giving the two people their own personalities and characters.

This basket is a lot bigger than I thought

The meteorologist James played by the little freckles, we can see his perseverance, rigor, and character flaws and madness. In the end, when he still ignores his life, climbs indefinitely, and even rudely prevents the heroine's self-help, my positioning of James He was fixed in the position of lunatic and paranoid, and it did not change even in the end. Although he was an excellent scientist, the madness of things gave me a deeper impression. As far as the acting skills of Little Freckles are concerned, his face has not been so arrogant from beginning to end. This can be realized in his previous movies. He is a relatively restrained actor, but he should be because of this kind of joy and anger. Yu Se's facial style makes his extreme and crazy actions more likely to make people shudder, and even in the scene of pushing down the heroine, he feels the taste of a horror movie.

Even if the freckles are ruthless, the face is just a look of disgust

The heroine Amelia played by Jones is actually a semi-fictional character. In history, the one who flew up with James is a forty-year-old uncle, and because she is a fictional character, she can add more drama to her Correspondingly, most of the reminiscence shots in the film are mainly narrating the heroine, and the suspenseful content in this film also revolves around the heroine's last high-altitude adventure who made mistakes. expanded. At the same time, the inherent routines of Hollywood films and the growth of characters are also based on how the heroine overcomes the fear of previous accidents. The film dramatizes the same environment that the heroine encountered before, and through the joint efforts of the two protagonists today, the disaster is averted and the heroine is redeemed.

Her husband's death was her inner demon from beginning to end

This event in history seems to be simpler. The two uncles rose to the highest point, their lives were in danger, and the critical juncture pulled the downward valve and turned the corner.

not too beautiful

The advantage of the movie is that, from the history of these dozen or so characters, countless stories that are enough to make the audience watch with their eyes wide open, we can add CPs of men and women, we can add storms, we can freeze balloons, we can make People jumped on the top of the hot air balloon at an altitude of 10,000 meters, and even landed in the bridge section of the emergency landing.

High-altitude stunt scenes are always thrilling

The simpler the history, the more creative it can give to the film, and there are countless conceivable spaces.

Although the whole film is interspersed with a lot of memories, I have to say that the most exciting, the most beautiful, and the most IMAX scenes are all on the hot air balloon. The scenes in this part always remind me of "Walking in the Clouds". In the open and huge space, the huge contrast between the actions of one person and one object and the entire environment brings shock. The main special effect in the film is the weather. We can see the halo, the high-altitude butterfly airflow, the blizzard and the rain, especially the scene where the heroine climbs the top of the hot air balloon that has been frozen with frost. .

It would be great if there was an IMAX version

This one is also good

One more piece

can't stop

In fact, historical biographies have always been difficult to come up with, so now the producers always add more and more other types of elements to the biographies, and at the same time add more drama. At this time, the so-called biography has become a With a simple background, the film gives people more of the story and the people in the story, while the elements of the people in history are increasingly diluted.

It's good, as for movies, we always want some of the best movies, which are farther from reality and closer to imagination.
