I don't know what the Chinese translation of hotshot crew is, let's call it the elite firefighting team. This is a group of about 20 muscular men on standby to put out fires across the United States. Every expedition ranged from a few days to a few weeks, with windy meals and rough sleep, high-intensity operations, and faced the most dangerous and elusive wildfires. I roughly checked, and their income is just the level of the average middle class; most of them have not gone to college, but they are really using their lives to complete their missions. The protagonist of this film, the Granite Mountain Pioneers, was the first municipal elite firefighting team, and was almost killed in the Yarnell Mountain Fire in Arizona on June 30, 2013 (only 1 of the 20 members of the team died due to different tasks). survived), with more than half of the team under 30 years old.
It should be said that whether the tragic ending of this event is known in advance will greatly affect the look and feel of the film. After all, most of the time in the film is to explain the background, shape the characters, promote the history of the team, and brew the climax in a united, tense, serious and lively atmosphere. The joy and encouragement of those team members were full of joy, anger, sorrow and joy, and their parents were short-lived, and they were undoubtedly shrouded in a layer of tragic and solemn under the shadow of fate. Obviously, the director wants us to remember not only a group of firefighters, but also fathers, husbands, and sons (the crew recruited former members as consultants to try to restore everyone's personality); you can say that this is very Formalization is a must. Even though not everyone has enough scenes to make an impression, the slideshow at the end of the credits that commemorates heroes with live-action photos is believed to have touched many audiences. In addition to the portrayal of character prototypes, the authenticity of the events in the film is also very high. This not only refers to those raging mountain fires that are fake and real (the director is a good visual effects expert), or the copy-paste-like shot of the tower, but also refers to the crises encountered by the fire brigade and the countermeasures they have taken in each mission. Including why the entire team entered the canyon engulfed by fire at the end, the film is actually blurred, because the actual situation is still unclear. Of course I tend to believe that the battle-hardened ones made the most reasonable decision, but unfortunately this profession is too dangerous.
