What we need is not heroism, but heroism.
This pilot, this old man, Sally, he's been flying for 42 years. "For 42 years, I've been flying all my life," he said. The things we do with our lives, the things we love. So how deeply do we feel about it?
In fact, at the hearing at the end of the film, Sally's victory was an explanation to the general public who loved Sally. Sally didn't need it from start to finish. Victory or defeat in the finale is less important to Sally.
Sa used his 42 years of flying experience and wisdom to successfully force a spray airliner onto the surface, and all 155 people survived. At this point, Sally has been completely victorious.
At the second hearing, the three members of the Transportation Board said the left engine had never failed, and the computer determined so. The plane was able to return to LaGuardia and even landed safely at another nearby airport in a computer simulation. They told Captain Sully and the co-pilot that landing on the Hudson was an unnecessary choice and that the result was a huge loss for the airline.
If the Transport Commission's claims are confirmed by various technical departments and computer simulations, Sally will be suspended without a pension. Another problem was that Sally's wife, Rowling, told him that there was no follow-up funding for a piece of land he had invested in. But those weren't the things that bothered Sally the most. The only scene that kept Sally awake at night and in a trance during the day: the plane crashed into the building, causing great casualties.
While waiting for the final hearing, 42 years of flying life kept reappearing in his mind. The glorious flight history and countless flight experiences that saved him from danger were his reassurance. He believed in himself, he respected his experience, he was in awe of his flying mission!
The plot develops according to the continuous interlude structure. Compact and tight, full of tension, no redundancy, no burden. Full of the director's passion and the actor's relaxed acting skills, there is no peeing point in the whole process. This is a masterpiece of East Wood and Fat Soup that is bound to become a classic.
The power of friendship, the power of loved ones, and the power of partners are essential elements of Sally's success. These things are an essential part of a person's life. Of course, there is Sally's absolutely calm and excellent psychological quality as a pilot.
At the final hearing, the Transportation Commission played two computer-simulated videos to Sally, the first officer, and hundreds of other hearing officers. When Sully brought up the key flaw in the video, they had to admit: The computer simulation of landing at a nearby airport took seventeen full simulations to succeed, and that didn't add up to the time the captain and co-pilot had to make decisions. The timing of decisions is their vulnerability. They communicated on the phone and had to add the time for decision-making, and only gave 35 seconds.
It turned out that a computer simulation of the entire collision and landing on the Hudson was the only option at the time. People from the Transportation Committee had to admit on the spot: Without Captain Sully, the plane could only crash, killing all 155 people on board!
Let's pay tribute to director Clint Eastwood, to star Tom Hanks, and to the real Chesley Schulenberg!
