Freedom is only separated by a wall

Inadvertently revisited "Balloon" again, and now I know that he has a prototype.

“In the East German balloon escape in 1979, two families, with eight members in total, escaped the Eastern bloc country of East Germany by crossing the border to West Germany in a homemade hot air balloon. The escape happened at approximately 2:00 am on 16 September 1979. The plot to accomplish this was carried out over a period of one and a half years, including an unsuccessful attempt, three different balloons, and various modifications until the successful escape occurred. One failed crossing alerted the government to the plot , but the police were not able to identify the suspects before their flight to the west." - Wikipedia

When balloons are no longer a happy toy for children, when balloons become a vehicle for people's pursuit of freedom.

I admire their courage, their yearning for freedom, their pursuit of freedom.

A commercial genre film with a high degree of completion, telling the real events of history in the packaging of a suspenseful thriller film, the whole process is tight and tense, the script focus is clear, the plot is arranged properly, and the characters are three-dimensional. The director pays more attention to the experience of commercial films than conveying historical viewpoints. Of course, this is also a double-edged sword, which makes the film's expression of freedom relatively simple and one-sided. It would be better if the government's obliteration of freedom was more exaggerated. It is indeed not as interesting as "Escape from Tehran".

Finally got to wait for such a movie. Although the depth is slightly less, it is good enough. A certain kind of great superiority has always been proved repeatedly within the walls, and we are still feigning and writing about this proof question.
