It has always been said that "Rising Clouds" is a classic air force film, and many people have compared it with "Hunting in the Sky" which was released some time ago. As a movie enthusiast, I want to say: What's wrong with "Top Rising Clouds", you want it so dark?

"High Aspirations" tells the story of Medellin, a US naval pilot who used his old pilot father as an idol.

The film is produced by Paramount Pictures. It is an inspirational film directed by Tony Scott, Tom Cruise, Kelly McGillis, Anthony Edwards, and Fang Kimmer. It is also an inspirational film starring Fang Kimmer. Of fame. The film was shot in 1986, more than 30 years ago, but whether it is the storyline or the special effects of air combat, the "Hunting in the Sky" that was released this year was completed in seconds.

The entire film is nearly two hours long, and about one and a half hours of footage is the content of fighters chasing each other and fighting each other, super burning! This is in line with the positioning of an air combat movie. The audience watching air combat movies is not for love, but for fighting in the sky that ordinary people can’t touch. This is this kind of battle. The attractive core of the film.

In contrast, "Aerospace Hunting" is not only inferior to aircraft models, but the display of some technical and tactical actions in the entire film is also far inferior to "Aerospace Hunting". And some of the scenes and scenes in "Hunting in the Sky" are somewhat similar to those in "Rising Aspirations." For example, the first act of the film is to expel foreign reconnaissance planes and make provocations and fly upside down. Of course, it can also be said to be a kind of "tribute" from "Sky Hunting" to "High Aspirations".

It is said that "Rising Clouds" was a promotional film for the US military to recruit pilots. The scenes of fierce air battles are still thrilling after 30 years. Perhaps the explosions are not as beautiful as the pictures of "Pearl Harbor", but they are true. It’s true, not at all the magnificent falseness of computer stunts that are now flooding.

Finally, I hope that China can borrow the current superb technology to produce better air combat films. Not to mention surpassing "High Aspirations", at least it should keep pace with it. Promise me, stop wearing the air force background and continue to talk about the love of men and women!
