Reverence for disaster, reverence for nature, reverence for life

"When the fire is over, you feel like a hundred trains are running over you."

Unlike previous disaster films, in the end, it is always the individual hero who overcomes the disaster, saves the world, and reunites the whole family. The film revolves around firefighting from beginning to end, but instead of splashing too much on firefighting, it has done enough in their personal lives.

Those who are usually called heroes by us also have their own lives, and they also have to face parental shortcomings, oily sauces and vinegars, and even dog-blooded unintended pregnancy, so they are just ordinary people like us, just disasters When it comes, we can flee desperately, but they have to arrive at the first scene and fight the disaster face to face.

The previous few understatement firefighting battles pushed the team little by little to a first-class regular army, little by little, made the rookie into a connoisseur. It seems that no fire can defeat them, and they will eventually sit in groups on the top of the mountain. On the huge boulder, like the Greek gods, looking at the blood-like setting sun in the west, the flames and dead trees fell down the cliff together, in exchange for the ridicule of the crowd. But in the end, the speed of development of the fire exceeded everyone's expectations. The flames were destroyed by the wind, and the speed of 80 kilometers continued to invade a warning point. When it was really necessary to face the flames like a hundred trains, The self-rescue measures that have been practiced countless times have no effect. Except for the rookie, everyone is silent on the ground covered with dead ashes and never gets up again.

In the face of disaster, no matter how rich experience and advanced equipment are, it will be of no avail. Life is fragile like soot in anger, which is fleeting. Maybe future disaster films should be defined as "Meteorite Hits the Earth", "The Day After Tomorrow", the kind of destructive film, this kind of real, often happening around us, should be divided into the categories of documentaries, emotional films, and life films . What we want to promote is that human beings are small, fragile, tenacious, and brave, but it is not like ants shaking trees, mans arms blocking cars, like Raining, knowing that there is fire in the mountains, and preferring to go to volcanoes.

I fear nature, disasters, and life. When faced with disasters, I will thank the heroes for carrying the burden for me, but I will try to run faster than others; I will educate my children to remember heroic deeds, but not let them He went into this profession.

    "I let you into my heart, I changed myself, I gave up my addiction... but you walked out of my life" Adapted from real events, based on the guilt perspective of survivors, not falling into stereotypes and the main theme , The ashes after "deployment" are the most shocking.

    I have been chasing "Wind City Flames", so I have produced the highest respect for the profession of firefighters. I really like the calm and plain perspective of the film. I not only remembered the strongest firefighting tragedy after 9/11 (by the way, many people have learned about it. Forest Fighting Fire), without sensationalism, described the problems, crises and friendships of their lives. Brave is the life and death that the team members did when the wildfire hit; it is also "no more chance to feel guilty, but bravely move forward".
