Pending responsibilities

Personally, I feel that the film’s success lies not in the discussion of human nature, in the tortuous plot, in how superb Denzel’s acting skills are, or even in the analysis of procedural justice, fact and justice (of course this point is indeed a highlight), and more What I like is that the film has a few detailed settings that are quite elaborate. You can't be sure when you see the end: Although the captain did use his superb courage and technology to save most of the people in the plane, whether the cause of the incident was due to his alcoholism and malfeasance.
For example: 1. When he was in a drunk state, he violated the rules, pulled up the joystick and exceeded the speed. Will this process cause the aircraft to malfunction? You can say that he is an art master who is brave, he is proficient in driving skills and defies the rules, but how can you not understand that he is a crazy mistake in a drunk state?
2. The number of bottles he threw away after drinking after getting on the plane is not the same as the number of bottles found during the investigation. In other words, there is a wine bottle that is not within the scope of the investigation. Where did the wine bottle go? Did it fly away during the crash? . . ? Or was it the malfunction of the aircraft caused by this wine bottle? ! This is a detail worth repeating, and there is a lot of room for imagination. Or it can be said that the perpetrator of this incident may be the savior, or is it possible?
I really like this film. Although the emotional drama in the middle feels a little redundant and lengthy, it is generally good, especially the details are unique and I feel that the score is low.

    The self-salvation of the alcoholic is far less exciting than the first half of the plane crash

    The human awakening in the last ten minutes gave me a feeling of "fucked again". Although everything before that was a bit lengthy, it was really wonderful: the shocking opening of the plane crashed, the gray hero with problems, and the black humor at my fingertips; Although the character type repeats the old way, Washington's performance is still enough to support the drama. Of course, the most favorite thing is that Zemikis finally did not struggle in the quagmire of motion capture.
