Black and white match, sea, land and air mixed together, multi-line narrative, fast-paced, high-speed. This is a movie that races against time. Although it uses a long-established means of transportation like trains, the story is still full of modernity. Under the economic crisis, the blue-collar workers who face retirement but face pay cuts, the company executives who misjudged, and the sense of value and glory of senior and old employees are the social issues that the United States is most concerned about at the moment. In addition to the perfect cutting, the parallelism of multi-line narration, and the control of rhythm, these beautiful living creatures and true emotions are the real reasons for the audience to cheer and cry.
The train passed through the beautiful jungle and beautiful town, as if it passed through the Hollywood gilded movie age. The vulgar name of "Dangerous Hour" reminds people of many grand movies in the 1990s. Although there is no lack of similarities between the movie and "Speed of Life", there is still a big difference between the two. "Dangerous Hour" is full of little freshness in details. For example, Denzel Washington played a senior train driver. When it comes to his daughter's smile while working at the "Spice Girl Restaurant", everything is silent. Chris Payne is a qualified male vase, showing a handsome face responsibly. He narrates family disputes with his wife, just like telling about 1,000 similar American family disputes. This is what he is capable of. The director was right. He chose a nearly perfect Hollywood face.
It is not easy to tell such an old story. Of course, the movie is by no means perfect, and there are many loopholes. Even me, an ordinary liberal arts girl, can think of many ways to get on the locomotive. But the final choice couldn't help but surprise me. It was too weak, and I felt a little discouraged. As for the final cheer, people couldn't help but give birth to a feeling of sadness in the dusk and anger when they were in full bloom.
In any case, in November's sleepy theater, "Dangerous Hour" at least caught people's hearts. It is reminiscent of all the good things about Hollywood: complex narratives and smooth dialogue, good storytelling, praise and derogation at a glance, time precisely controlled. The most important thing is to never let people be too disappointed. Ah, this is the quality lacking in domestic movies that have repeatedly made false shots.
