A simple story is simply told well, your uncle Dongmu is still your uncle

"Captain Sully" may not be a movie that can smash the box office at the end of the year, but it is definitely a movie that tells a story like a textbook.
It's not easy to see two Tom Hanks movies introduced in China this year. I felt worthless for paying my birthday ticket to watch "The Dante Code", but it was made up for by "Captain Sully".

The film is based on the true story of Captain Sally's creation of the miracle of the Hudson River in 2009. The story itself has no conspiracy and twists and turns. The only question is why the captain did not choose to return to the airport runway for forced landing, but chose the water surface with a low success rate. The U.S. traffic management department launched an investigation because of the forced landing.

The entire film is only 90 minutes long, which seems a bit thin in today's market where it takes more than two hours to divide into several parts.
A simple story is simply said, and it should also be a kind of courage in the increasingly complex moment.
Director Dongmu is 86 years old, and the starring actor Hanks is also a good year this year. Together, the two have been nominated for 20 or 30 Oscars and won many awards. I have never seen such a lively battle, but "Sally" "Captain" has simplified the complexity and told the legendary story of an ordinary person.
Lifting weights at will, is probably the gift these two old actors bring to all audiences.
The story is simple, and it is simply told well, and returning to the basics is far better than a contrived coquettish bitch.

In connection with the background of the story, early 2009 was when the United States fell into a financial crisis. The film also implicitly indicated that American society was in a kind of pessimism, and the occurrence of the miracle of the Hudson River was originally a disaster. The survival of all the people on the plane has become a hope in despair.
The entire country of the United States is like a passenger plane full of passengers, hit by birds, everyone is at a loss in the face of disaster, and they are expecting someone like Captain Sully to save them, so this is also Sully The reason why such a civilian hero has received so much acclaim.

Some heroes don't need superpowers, they have a sense of responsibility and love, which is why the 2D films based on the true stories of "Hacksaw Ridge" and "Captain Sully" at the end of this year are so powerful.

Sully quotes

  • Elizabeth Davis: I'd like to add something on a personal note: I can say with confidence, that after speaking with the rest of the flight crew, with bird experts and airplane engineers, after running all the scenarios and talking to each of the players... there is an X in this result.

    Elizabeth Davis: It's you, Captain Sullenberger. Take you out of the equation and the math just fails.

    Chesley 'Sully' Sullenberger: I disagree. It wasn't just me, it was all of us. Jeff, Donna, Sheila, Doreen. The passengers, rescue workers. Air traffic control, ferry boat crews and scuba cops. We all did it. We survived.

  • Sheila Dail: Just once I'd like to get out of LaGuardia on time.

    Donna Dent: Well, you know the only way to get out of LaGuardia on time.

    Sheila Dail: Yeah, what's that?
