Don't ask for everything, just ask for a clear conscience

A perfect film that combines entertaining and profoundness. This film won the 85th Oscar for Best Actor and Best Original Screenplay. At the beginning of the plot, Whip was portrayed as a completely scumbag, smoking, drugging, sleeping beauty, and making phone calls with his ex-wife very perfunctory, until the plane took off, he still looked very unreliable. However, when the plane encountered the first turbulence in the air, he appeared very skilled and experienced. After that, the plane stabilized and he fell asleep again. When he woke up and found that the plane was abnormal, he immediately reacted. Only afterwards did he know that it was the most correct response and the best one among the captains. No one is perfect. In order to achieve a certain achievement, we have to make some mistakes, especially when everyone is doing nothing. As a person who works hard and fights against fate, we will not be willing to do so. Because you don’t commit, your efforts will appear mediocre, and you will not achieve the desired results, and your lifelong dream will be short of breath, you will be very tired, and the meaning of living will not be realized. In the film, Whip has first-class flying skills, but every day flying requires full dedication. In order to keep himself in a very high state at all times, he has to drink, take drugs, and sleep beautifully, so that he can stay awake and feel relax. In general, the mistakes made by honest people are more likely to be magnified, exaggerated, and unforgivable. In the second half of the film, Whip is caught in a legal dispute. When Whip wakes up from a crash and learns that two of his colleagues have been killed by the crash, he is very concerned, as if it was a mistake in his work and pain. Finally, in court, there are all kinds of advantages. All he needs to say is a panic, and he will be safe. However, he who is keen on work can't say that panic, and there is no way to say that his colleague who died in the service was because of drinking. So delirious. In the end, he was still in prison, but it was not too bad. In prison, he gave up alcohol and drugs, and became a hero in the eyes of his son and everyone. There is no absolute right or wrong in everything, but there is still a conscience that will guide us to make the right choice.

    The first half hour is great, and the last half hour is also good. Is it really necessary to drag it so long in the middle, do you have to make up for more than two hours?--.

    The plot is a bit slow, it would be nice if the rhythm could be quicker. In fact, I mainly talk about what happens after the plane falls, but what I like is to look at the previous process
