"Hot Air Balloon Pilot" is based on the theme of high-altitude adventure. It tells the story of James, a scientist played by Little Freckles, and Amelia, a pilot played by Felicity, in a hot air balloon in 1862, before the aircraft was invented. A thrilling high-altitude adventure.
Because of the appearance of airplanes, the suffocating beauty above flying clouds is no longer a secret, and in the 19th century, the vast sky above us and the "sea of air" under it have yet to be unraveled by scientists. veil.
The process of the hot air balloon taking off in the film is also the most exciting part. The camera overlooks the whole of London, with layers of white clouds passing between the fingers, colorful halos and flying butterflies. In the eyes of explorers, the sudden storm is also rare. of wealth.
Curiosity keeps human beings always motivated to move forward, and it also gives human beings the courage to fall into the yellow spring. Once they taste the sweetness, it will be like a bottomless pit, even if everyone knows how dangerous it is ahead.
James and Amelia soon encountered the first problem of their expedition: a sudden rainstorm and thunder and lightning. That's not a good thing for a hot air balloon to take off, but the stubborn James insists "can't go down" and wants to get closer to the stars.
Successfully escaping a storm is more about luck, but for explorers, every step forward is actually a gamble, and predicting the unknown is not an adventure.
James is a bit stubborn, insistent, and even forced Emilia to keep climbing with the determination to die. When watching the movie, he somewhat felt like he was a pig teammate.
Every time he flies to a certain altitude, he records key data and transmits it back to the ground through carrier pigeons. When the hot air balloon rose to an altitude of more than 11,000 meters, it was cold and oxygen-deficient, and he almost died.
Anyway, from the whole point of view, the growth and awakening of his character is not very obvious.
As a professional pilot, Emilia is rational and decisive, and can always find a solution at a critical moment. Especially when she climbed to the top of the balloon and opened the valve, her whole body was shining.
And her teammates almost didn't wake up from lying in the hanging basket because of the severe cold and hypoxia at high altitude.
Just looking at it can't change the world, scientific exploration itself is a risky operation, even at the cost of life. (But not to kill yourself)
When the hot air balloon descended rapidly, James and Emilia threw everything they could throw away, and nearly staged the tragedy of Emilia's late husband: in order to lose weight and save Emilia's life, Pierre Er jumped from the hot air balloon, which also became a lingering shadow for Emilia.
Although the two experienced all kinds of thrills, they finally landed successfully, bringing a refreshing visual enjoyment to the audience.
The landing was equally thrilling, and the speed of the descent was extremely fast. They faced the ground, experienced the ravages of the branches and the friction of the ground, and finally successfully reached the ground.
Zweig wrote in "When the Stars of Mankind Shine":
"Human civilization has gone through a long four thousand years. During this period, there are some people who deduce their life as a detached and happy destiny in their true and pious experience and pursuit of the ultimate. song."
The sensory stimuli fade away, but the scientific spirit lives on.
There is also a story in "When the Stars Shine" about polar expeditions.
In 1910, the British Scott led an expedition to the mysterious land of Antarctica.
At that time, Norwegian Amundsen also led another team to the South Pole. In order to fight for "national honor", the two teams launched a wonderful competition.
Because of a misjudgment, Scott failed to achieve his ambition to be the first to go to the South Pole. Seeing the flying Norwegian flag, he was instantly disheartened.
On the way back, the explorer was exhausted by a blizzard and lack of supplies, and lay in the snow. In fact, long before this expedition to the South Pole, he had discovered and named the Edward VII Peninsula, and was already a British national hero.
On the road of exploring the unknown world, there will always be people who go forward one after the other, and use their remnants to illuminate the road of future generations.
Looking up, the sky is so vast.
(The plot outside the high altitude of "Hot Air Balloon Pilot" is somewhat procrastinated and boring, especially at the beginning, the content on the hot air balloon can actually be extended, and it always feels unfinished. What I saw on the plane was much more exciting, and the group of yellow butterflies was very shocking. In conclusion, although there are flaws, it is worth seeing.)
