Continuing the Korean disaster movie series, this time with Skyscraper.
The plot is relatively clear and easy to understand, that is, the CEO of Tower Sky committed suicide, disregarding the danger, and insisted on holding the party well. The government even compromised in this regard and agreed to fly 10 helicopters together that night. As a result, an accident occurred and the helicopter hit the building. The high-rise fire also left the firefighters helpless. It was not possible to put out the fire in an instant. In the end, because of this man-made accident, they could only use blasting to avoid greater losses.
The fire is ruthless, and there is love in the world. I found that it is already an old routine. It is also a combination of a father or a mother with a child. This is the case with "Train to Busan" and "Influenza" that I have seen earlier. This time, it tells how a father worked hard to save his child in the fire scene. With a little exception, this time the father can only be the deputy, because the protagonist of the fire movie will always be a firefighter. Yes, this time the fire chief - Jiang Yingji became the hero of the film.
The beginning of the film has always been warm, paving the way for the subsequent disaster, and cleverly set the background atmosphere on Christmas Eve. Christmas Eve was originally meant to symbolize a peaceful and happy night, but unfortunately it was human negligence and neglect of the importance of safety, which led to disasters. Before the disaster, Li Dahao, the property management captain of Tower Sky, one of the male protagonists, found that the automatic sunscreen water heater in the building was running out of water when the kitchen caught fire. A bowl of cold water, the superior leaders are busy preparing for the party, and have no mood to listen to his report. Another fuse of the incident was the CEO of Tower Sky, who ignored the warnings of his subordinates and wanted to make the party a success. He also pressured the government to pass the approval, and the government agreed. Such a series of human negligence superimposed into a ticking time bomb, and as a result the bomb exploded, leading to disaster.
Yeouido Fire Station, on the surface, seems to be a loosely disciplined group. In fact, it is because of its well-trained, solid heart, and solidarity among colleagues, so it looks unrestrained on the surface. In the face of the arrival of the newcomer, the big guys also made fun of him together. Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long, and the new recruits soon went to the battlefield, and the battle was so fierce.
After receiving the task of dispatching the police, Jiang Yingji, as the captain, gave up the holiday at the last moment and went to complete the task with his brothers under the dissuasion of everyone. When he saw the fire in the skyscraper, the captain Jiang Yingji's battle-hardened calm was in stark contrast with the young rookie players, and this was also proved when he led the team to attack the fire. At that time, as the captain, he used his years of experience to avoid danger many times, and finally took down the fire. And then comes the biggest problem - saving people.
In the face of saving people, after the representative of the government department, Director Zhang arrived at the scene, in addition to asking his subordinates about the situation, in the face of saving people, he actually thought of saving the upper class first instead of treating them equally. He also ordered Captain Kang Young-ki above to save the congressman first. In fact, it's no wonder he, if a large number of high-ranking people die in the end, he can't bear the blame, so it's not easy to be a leader.
I will not introduce the next episodes one by one. In the last scene, captain Jiang Yingji sacrificed himself for the sake of the overall situation and for losing the remote control for his own mistake.
After the whole movie, it can be concluded that the details determine success or failure, and safety is the last word. Many details are ignored and cause a big accident. If the CEO of Tower Sky paid a little attention to this, it would not have caused this accident. occur. In the end, the sacrifice of the fire chief is really sad, and on the other hand, the people who were rescued by him have a happy ending.
Finally, I would like to pay tribute to the front-line personnel who protect our people in the society. You have worked hard.
