Why did the pilot played by Tom Hardy choose to land and be captured instead of parachuting early?

First of all, Hardy had made a choice when he was chasing the bomber, and he did not plan to return to the end and fight to the end. He knew he was the only British fighter. This is the major premise. ;

Secondly, the enemy plane was shot down while gliding in air, and he was cheered by the desperate soldiers. At this moment, his continued flight gave the British troops retreating on the beach hope and a sense of spiritual security. Just imagine parachuting directly after a shot down will affect morale.

Then, his continued flight will give the enemy a deterrent, and if the plane parachutes out of control in advance, it will fall quickly instead of glide for so long.

Also, it was mentioned earlier that this is a British Spitfire fighter, which is a newly developed model that has been mass-produced soon. This is the first time I have participated in the war. I parachuted at that altitude, and the aircraft will not catch fire if it lands without fuel. Moreover, the altitude is not high and most disintegrates. The consequences of falling into the hands of the Germans can be imagined. So the first thing he did when he landed was to light the plane.

    I saw it in North America and it was very shocking. It seems that only Nuolan can export this movie, just like watching Private Ryan many years ago, I was so excited that tears overflowed many times. Nolan, is the next Spielberg!

    Too crafty, the so-called experimental nature, it just parallels three unrelated story lines for most of the time and forcibly joins them into a three-stage frame. The problem is that the tension of each line is not the scheduling and the story, but The irritable soundtrack that has never been cut off; in essence, the conflict of the story is extremely weak, and the non-functional characters are used to piece together the plot, but the ending of Wei Guangzheng makes them irresistible, and the parallel editing of the signature is also much awkward than the peak period.

  • Alex: [about Gibson] He doesn't speak English. If he does, it's with an accent thicker than sauerkraut sauce.

  • Commander Bolton: Well, I'd rather face waves than dive-bombers.
