Flight--The Story of the Plane Crash

Recently, I feel that I have watched a lot of movies based on facts, and I like these movies very much. With a factual basis, the film becomes more real, and the artistic film actually sets off the real events more wonderfully. Sometimes, this is the case. Although art comes from life and is higher than life, life itself is often more attractive than art. If it weren't really happening, no one would have thought that a passenger plane carrying more than a hundred people could actually fly backwards.

The film starts with a flight of the captain, and then starts with the two lines of accident handling and personal life. At the beginning, it enters a climax, a period of life, a period of work, but the focus of the film is the third climax. The captain is in prison. Confession in. At the beginning of the film, the graceful figure, with gentle and ambiguous words, goes crazy overnight, almost sleepless. The presence of cocaine brings the physiology and pleasure to a peak, and also makes the crazy brain return to calm, even if all behaviors are an overdraft of life.

Then, a sudden mechanical failure tied the lives of the flight attendants and many passengers to the drunk pilot. It was this captain, who was stinking all over his body, who kept his calm and slashed forward, reducing the casualty rate of the crashed airliner to the lowest level. However, even the shocking inverted flight could not conceal his criminal behavior. The captain lived a glorious but numb life. "He lived in his own illusion!" His wife’s disgusted state reflects the tension and failure of his family relationship, and the shots respected by his flight attendant colleagues reflect his outstanding professional qualities and personal charm. Just like commanding to save people, right and wrong are not necessarily clear.

Bringing the plane crash and the captain’s personal life, two events that are not absolutely related, into one space is the result of a game between airlines, aircraft manufacturers, the media, and the government. Everyone is using any means, by any means. They seek the maximization of their own interests, of course, including the captain, who has not yet awakened. In the end, the captain who lied all the time, the fragmented two-faced life he had, under the eyes of the beautiful eyes that he loved and loved him, but passed away at the hearing, completed the unity.

People’s emotions towards the captain are as complicated as the captain’s personality itself. As the co-pilot expressed, without the captain, his life may be worrying; without the captain, the plane may be destroyed or killed; even the occurrence of the accident and the captain’s There is no absolute relationship between alcohol and poison, but people must have a way and a fulcrum to vent, and the captain who made a mistake will naturally become the target of public criticism. After the co-pilot gave up his unlucky option, he could only put the grief and anger on the captain.

The final climax is that speech and self-salvation! The significance of Nicole's role lies in this. The comparison between the characters shows that people need to help themselves, use external forces, and always treat the symptoms rather than the root cause. The captain drank alcohol again to paralyze himself and escape reality because of attacks and disapproval from the outside world. Later, when Nicole pointed out the problem and uncovered his scars, he chose anger to cover up the emptiness in his heart. Wait until you really wake up and find that facing your true self, facing your true life, is far easier than avoiding it. For the first time in my life, I'm free! As he said in prison, this is going to sound really stupid coming from a man who's locked up in prison, but I'm free!
