None of them disappoints.
There are two key points about this movie. One is that it is based on real events, and the audience is very able to take the role when watching it. The other is that the director's narrative technique interspersed a 208-second air accident before and after it just right. There is not a single second of wasted footage, the characterization is almost entirely based on facts, and the emotional expression is very restrained, but it has a very shocking effect.
Such a heroic movie is really good to see.
After reading it, I went to look for the US Airways 1549 crash report. The film reflects the details of the narrative accurately. It’s just that the measured data of the final simulated flight returning to the airport safely is 8/15, which means that only 8 of 15 human simulated flights are successful, which is still under the situation that there is no 35-second reaction time. And after adding 35 seconds of reaction time at the end, it only simulated once and failed.
I believe that Sully, who wrote the book, is indeed full of pressure and grievances in the text, and the survey results have indeed proved that this is a good captain full of experience and safety awareness, who saved 155 lives with his 40 years of flying experience. This is a happy ending. What shocked me even more was that, in an air accident with no one killed, the accident investigation did not automatically assume the heroic behavior of the captain, but carefully determined whether there was human error through the engineer's machine simulation and manual simulation. Passenger responsible behavior. This is quite clear compared to the various natural and man-made disasters that have killed and injured hundreds of people and still have no way of knowing the real cause and blame...
The ultimate truth of this accident is very simple - excluding human factors, more than half may be able to returned to the airport runway unscathed. However, after spending some time restarting to no avail, calling the tower MayDay and finding and running, Captain Sully made a quick analysis and determined by experience that it was impossible to return and landed on water. Objectively this was the second best outcome (since the water landing may not have exceeded a 50% survival rate), but due to the captain's judgment and skill, it was the best possible outcome.
People's way of thinking is different. A friend who watched the movie said that he would think about several ABCD plans when encountering an emergency, so as to choose the most suitable plan for implementation. The process of thinking certainly takes time. I usually don’t think about plan B at all. After roughly comparing the two ideas of A and B, I immediately abandoned B and implemented plan A wholeheartedly. It is possible to look back and see that plan A was not the best, but the results are usually satisfactory.
Generally speaking, the way people think is also related to their personality. There are areas where both the thoughtful and the quick-acting group have an advantage. It just so happens that my friend and I work in the same way. It is very likely that character -> choose job -> character optimizes job -> job strengthens character.
The tidbits of the captain and the passengers at the end of the film are very moving. Survivors who can experience the disaster together will have special bonding. I believe that the lives of the people who have experienced this have changed their lives more positively than negatively.
Before every flight, I would sort out my will again and send it to my lawyer. In fact, people who are ready to die will know how to live actively.
