"Flight 93" - a desperate struggle for every life

Shot in 2006, "Flight 93" is sandwiched between director Paul Greengrass's second and third, possibly the world's best spy films, The Bourne The huge amount of information and the suffocating rhythm leave the audience with little room to adjust their breathing. The story switches between the ground tower and 93 United in the air. The first half of the film focuses on the narrative on the ground. The atmosphere in the ground management control rooms in Boston, New York, and Cleveland ranges from relaxed to tense, from tense to helpless. The suspenseful atmosphere brought about by the suspected hijacking creates the first huge plot. Tension, the consternation of the crew as they witness the plane crash into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, is perhaps the most heartbreaking moment in the entire film. At the same time, the ignorance of the passengers of 93 United Airlines and the indecision of the terrorists paved the way through the details of every detail, creating a second plot tension. After the hijacking, the passengers first panicked and panicked, then figured out the situation, recovered their reason and decided to fight back, until the moment when the plane crashed abruptly, and the whole film was shrouded in a tense and exciting atmosphere of terror. This movie is about everyone's life-and-death decision, about the passing of every fresh life. I think of the "Trial of the Chicago Seven" that I watched recently. A good movie can resonate at the level of universal values, not empty. Promote family sentiment and collectivism. When Tom Hayden pronounces the names of people who have died because of war and hatred, regardless of nationality, race, political affiliation or religious beliefs, we should feel sad and remorse for every life lost. Under the cover of various national spirits and positive energies, what we lack is the reflection on facing mistakes and disasters. Sino-US relations have remained tense over the years. I remember that I went to participate in the preparations for the opening ceremony of a party building activity. That day happened to be September 11. On the way back, the leader in charge of the event organization talked about this special day and said casually: Our event is to be held today, Just in time to commemorate 911. At that time, I was very sad when I heard these words, thinking that it was a very serious matter, and I couldn't joke about it so easily. However, I didn't say anything, just take it as her unintentional words.
