In the performance, although I am very uncomfortable with the male protagonist, the captain, it cannot be denied that both he and the designer performed very well. The conflict and contradiction between the two constitute another thread of the development of the film. In addition to the two, chefs, white-collar workers, female engineers, and one-eyed blacks all performed well. The moment when everyone learned that the aircraft designer turned out to be a counterfeit was the most exciting scene in the film. The different reactions of different individuals' psychological defenses when they collapsed instantly were shown natural and real.
The screen of the film is full of the bleak and magnificent landscape of the desert beach, and the several shots in the plane crash also left a deep impression on people. The music better matches the development of the plot, creating a different atmosphere of desolation, tension, or joy.
I haven't seen the original film 30 years ago, so I can't compare the similarities and differences between the remake and the original film. But as far as the remake itself is concerned, it is a success.
