"If firefighting isn't the greatest job, what is?
Before, I saw such a topic in the topic square # Regardless of salary and other people's opinions, what job would you most like to do? #My answer is "firefighter". The salary of this job is not high, and the social status is definitely not comparable to the dignitaries and entertainment stars; but this job/occupation is undoubtedly the most "grand" in my heart.
In a big way, TAs have appeared at the scene of various dangers and disasters; fires, earthquakes, mountain torrents, typhoons... They are extremely brave "retroversaries". To put it mildly, TAs will also suffer injuries and sacrifices. They were once "the troops with the highest battle loss rate in the peaceful era". It is not shameful or shameful to choose to run away when faced with danger. This is human nature and survival instinct; however, if you act in a "dangerous" way, and your customer service instinct, this highlights the extraordinaryness of this profession! So, this profession is my most vivid understanding of "serving the people".
In fact, I have also watched a few movies about "fire fighting" and "fire fighting", such as "Fire Fighting Hero", "Fire Hero", "Escape from Life", "Fire Ambition"... The best of these movies is this one right now. Compared with "Ambition of Fire", which was also shot in the United States, the popularity of this film can't be compared with it (although Joaquin Phoenix was not an Oscar winner at that time), but in terms of authenticity or "moving people", I am more Love this film. In my opinion, even though these firefighters are heroic in the fire scene, they can mobilize various professional vehicles and flying vehicles; they can operate various rescue equipment and tools; in the final analysis, they are still living people, Even ordinary as a pedestrian in the city. Some people are even "problem people" in life, such as this Brendan in this film McDonough, before joining the fire brigade, had a bad track record; drugs, alcohol, theft and no responsibility for his personal life. For him, he can be described as "scumbag", but what made him change is that he is "like being a father"! Under a "father" responsibility buff, he decided to say goodbye to the muddled days of the past and become an upright person. He joined the firefighting team, and did his best in training, assessment, and performing tasks, and was finally recognized by his relatives and friends, which can be said to have sublimated his soul. And I think this kind of "defective" hero is real and vivid. In contrast, the firefighters in the domestic films are either the so-called "children inheriting the father's business" or the "second generation" with flamboyant personality to join the army... In short, watching a group of people from extraordinary backgrounds shouting slogans, being handsome, and then putting out fires by the way... ...which one is better and which one is worse, the judgement will be made! Moreover, firefighters are human beings in the final analysis. They are faced with various natural/unnatural dangers. Only their rescue skills/experience can help them escape from danger. It is useless to shout slogans. For disaster mitigation, fire trucks should be equipped with loudspeakers instead of rescue equipment. In this film, the audience can see the firefighters praying and fearing in the fire dome. When they face the great power of nature, they can only passively protect themselves and ask for good luck, instead of standing in a fire in the face of the fire. Platoon and yell "I'll beat you!"; such a scene can only be described as embarrassing. Similarly, in this film, the director also boldly showed many problems within the rescue department; "miscommunication" alone was one of the main reasons for the deaths of 19 firefighters. And this kind of reflection on reality is more important. After all, the key to "fire protection" lies in "prevention", which is to minimize losses. Regardless of the reason for the loss, it is stupid and bad to blindly exaggerate the fearless spirit of sacrifice! Sacrifice and injury is not a good thing. I think the firefighters themselves and their families also hope to return safely, rather than becoming "martyrs" and "heroes".
Apart from these "professional" aspects, what impresses me more is the inner drama of the captains/players. In fact, the captain himself also has psychological problems. He is afraid of mountain fires, but he also has an incomprehensible obsession with "fighting fire", which is also the point of conflict between him and his wife. In career or family, the captain is obviously more inclined to the firefighting career. I understand his mentality very well, which is also very true, especially the theme of this business is "saving lives", which makes "giving a small family for everyone" an "extremely correct" existence! "The world is for the public" is true, but I think it's okay to promote this kind of noble character, but if it is used to require all members of society to accept it, it will lose the original intention and original intention of "the world is for the public". I do not deny the greatness of giving, but behind this, how much attention has been paid to what the family has endured? Probably very few. It's like there are many people who praise firefighters on video websites, but if they really choose firefighters as their partners, this kind of hardship is obviously beyond my imagination and evaluation as a viewer. In the last part of the film, the captain chose to "compromise" when he saw his wife's collapse. This was not because he was afraid, but he understood the boundary between responsibility and love better. He did not escape, but just wanted to balance and balance the two. However, all this has not had time to change.
