It's not about personal heroism, it's about keeping faith (spoiler for full text)

I finished watching this air rescue in my bedroom on Friday night. The protagonist is Liam Neeson, the plot is compact, the actors are good-looking (yes, I'm talking about the eldest lady of Downton Abbey), there is no urine in the whole process, and the reversal is not convincing enough. Why did the protagonist suddenly change from the manic and violent man in the first half to After the reasonable air police in the second half, terrorist attacks can make people rational? I don't understand this character contrast, but overall it's a good popcorn movie.

A down-to-earth air police officer is ordered to perform security duties on a plane bound for London. During the flight, he received a text message from an unknown number, who knew everything he was doing, and asked him to transfer $150 million to a secret account or kill a passenger on the flight every 20 minutes. . He realized the seriousness of the situation and tried to find out who sent the text message, but the development of the situation was unexpected. The air policeman who wanted to save the passengers on the plane unexpectedly caused the death of several people, and he was also regarded by other passengers as Be a hijacker. At this time, the hijacker who did not get the money was already crazy. He placed a bomb on the plane to kill everyone, but he did not give up. With the help of other passengers on the plane, he found the real hijacker and persuaded the pilot to lower the altitude to So that the bomb would not blow the plane to pieces, and of course he saved the other passengers on the plane in the end, turning the tide.

The deepest impression is that the air police was framed. Everyone thought he was a terrorist. His superiors ordered him not to act rashly and wait for the plane to land. Instead of following orders, he sticks to his own judgment and does what he thinks needs to be done (stop the terrorists). The difference between this and China's mainstream values ​​is that we emphasize obedience. If the air police were Chinese with mainstream values, they might wait for the plane to land and then "return" justice to their superiors. The same is true for the co-pilot, who violated the superior's order to lower the flight altitude based on his judgment of the situation on the plane, and he did not blindly obey. What I want to say is, trust your own judgment, the superiors are not gods, the officials are not gods, and they don’t know all the facts, it’s important to maintain your own judgment, it’s not about personal heroism, it’s about treating yourself Be responsible, make your own judgments based on what you see and hear, and do what you think is important.
