Last Sunday afternoon, I watched a good movie with the main theme - "Captain Sully". Starring Tom Hanks and directed by Clint Eastwood. The movie is based on the famous "Hudson River crash" in history.
"On January 15, 2009, a flock of Canada geese appeared over New York and crashed into flight 1549, which had just taken off, from New York to Charlotte. The flock of birds caused both engines to lose power. , the flight was forced to land on the Hudson River next to Manhattan. It took only six minutes from takeoff to the forced landing. From the completion of the forced landing to the rescue of all 155 passengers and crew, it took only 24 minutes." —— This is the prototype of the story of "Captain Sully". Using such a story as a blueprint is actually very easy to beat. If a South Korean director were to shoot, it would be more exaggerated to amplify the process of the forced landing, or to create one or two ugly characters, making trouble, tearing up, and finally having evil retribution, in order to highlight how great the protagonist is— —
If a Japanese director shoots it, he should babble for a long time before entering the theme, and regard the foreplay as a climax. The audience sees that the play is starting, and Ultraman turns out to hold the plane. Everyone said "Oops" and found out——
And Clint Eastwood's shooting method is very traditional, restrained and warm. There is no villain in the whole film, and no exaggerated emotions are added. It is purely a rational retelling of the whole story.
In fact, I usually don't watch films that are very thematic and heroic like this. But out of love for Tom Hanks and Clint Eastwood, I still watched "Captain Sully". I really like it. The film focuses on the narrative: After all the passengers survived safely, the review board questioned that Sally could choose to return to LaGuardia Airport instead of taking the extremely high risk of landing on the river. The public, especially the passengers who experienced the disaster together on the plane, had an almost adoring emotion towards Sally. And because of position, investigators don't think so. They see Sally's success as a fluke. They tried to use computers for analysis, and had pilots run high-fidelity simulations over and over again.
Faced with doubts, Sally's grievance and nervousness are obvious: "Before this, I flew for more than 40 years and carried millions of passengers safely, but now, the final evaluation of me has to be determined by this short 280 seconds. to decide."
The people on the review committee didn't know, let alone understand, the "considerations of humanity" that Sally proposed. At the time, Sally faced 155 lives, an extremely low flight altitude, the embarrassment of being forced to navigate between Manhattan's tall buildings, and never had a successful ditch landing. Under such circumstances, any small decision can become unimaginably difficult. The people on the review committee only knew that they kept asking questions-the computer simulated so many times that they could successfully land at the airport, but why did Sally choose to land on the water? Fortunately, the rescue did not cause casualties in time, but in case of casualties, according to this logic, wouldn't it all become the responsibility of Sally alone?
Sally's answer was calm and forceful: "We need to talk about this seriously. You've missed one thing in your seemingly flawless experiments over and over again, and that's 'human nature'." Seemingly scientific, but absurd Incomparably, a group of "people" are discussing the possibility of an airplane accident in full swing, but they only put aside the consideration of "human nature".
Yes, many judging standards are so cold, rigid, and unsympathetic. It is gratifying that Sally did not lose his reason and demeanor because of this, but calmly accepted the question and won 35 seconds with the principle of "human nature", which was finally approved by the review committee. In addition to these main plots, there are many "familiar faces" among the many passengers of the film. (People who watch a lot of American TV dramas should feel the same way.) Single mothers and young children who are cuddling with each other, father and son who care for each other like brothers, grateful grandma, innocent and enthusiastic hotel staff... In the face of disaster, this is how A group of ordinary people can still have such positive energy, just like the band that was still playing on "Titanic" until the end, the captain who lived and died with the ship, and the poor people in the economy class who peacefully greeted death.
What impressed me the most about this film was the seemingly redundant and inhumane process of censorship and accountability. Having said that, there are too many miracles and luck in an aviation accident with zero fatalities like this. When I was watching the movie, I was thinking, if an accident like this "zero casualties" has to go through such cruel torture, why are there so many tragic and magical realism accidents we see on the news every day? , but always ambiguous. More terrifying than the disaster itself is always the attitude of people. People can save people and respect life with a scientific attitude. People can also harm others, using indifference, superstition and prejudice to trample life. (In the photo below, the second from the left is the real Captain Sally)
My idol Einstein said, "No amount of experiments can prove me right, but only one experiment can prove me wrong." It sounds scientific, tiring, troublesome, and not close Kindness is hard work. However, only like Captain Sully, who is not afraid of being tired, not afraid of trouble, not afraid of being inhuman, not afraid of hard work, can he be regarded as a real "hero". Having seen too many stories of "artificial heroes", we should go back to the ground and see more heroes like Captain Sully - "You need a hero, I will build a hero. Then I will tell you again, as a hero , first of all, it has to be a person." --------------------------------------- MENU Both the bar and auto-responders have been upgraded. Welcome backstage.
