a successful forced landing to save all life on the plane, so that a movie based on a true story, I believe many people will mistake the "captain Sally" is a traditional American hero make, However, this film is just another way of taking a slanted sword. Through the humanistic concern of anti-heroism, it has built a particularly profound inner depth of the film.
The film focuses on a successful emergency landing incident. On January 15, 2009, a US Airways plane accidentally hit a bird shortly after takeoff, causing both engines to stop working at the same time. Captain Sally did not follow the order of the air tower to return the plane to the airport, but forced the plane to land on the Hudson River in New York based on his own experience, and no one was killed. A momentary American hero.
The finishing touch of "Captain Sully" is that Clint Eastwood, an elderly Hollywood gold medal director, jumps out of the shackles of a routine American hero story that takes place in reality and is too traditional. There is no single use of this already well-known real event to build the tension of the film, but to use a plain and restrained lens to focus on Sally after the incident. Instead of following the air tower's order to return the plane to the airport for forced landing, it chose to land on the water. Faced with the questioning of the review committee, and according to the so-called scientific calculation of the review committee afterwards, the aircraft was fully capable of flying back to the airport at that time and landed successfully.
At this time, the problem that Sally has to face is no longer as simple as being unable to get out of the shadows, but more of the consequences that he will bear if he insists on forcing the plane into the water, and even as the review committee said, he may be the The culprit who put the passengers in danger, I believe that no matter who changes it, anyone can bear such pressure. At this time, the movie also uses flashbacks of the past and Surrey's hallucination nightmare to vividly describe the spiritual world of the protagonist at this time. It is the anti-heroic feeling that makes this film with heroic characters so different.
At the final hearing of the movie, Sa used 35 seconds of instinctive reflection time to prove the correctness of his decision. At this time, the movie really pointed out its core point-the value of human beings, when faced with emergencies At this time, it is impossible for people to give the most accurate feedback like a machine, but at this time, for a plane that lost its power and was about to crash, every second seemed so precious, and Sa used his decades of flying. The decision made by experience is the most important factor in successfully saving this disaster. Therefore, the various foreshadowings in the first part of the movie are actually for the formation of this strong humanistic thinking at the last moment.
From a formal point of view, "Captain Sully" is an anti-hero movie, but internally, it is an American masterpiece with a particularly main theme, because the core values of American movies have never been to shape heroes, but It is through the hero, focusing on the embodiment of personal value, and Clint Eastwood, a Hollywood veteran, seems to bypass this logic, and interprets what is personal value from a very humanistic perspective. The truth.
