patriotic propaganda

Take a look at the main theme movies made in the United States. The plots are compact and the plots are humorous. They shape a rescue operation full of wisdom and romance. Relying on Hollywood, Oscar's influence has successfully done a "crisis public relations" for the national image of the United States. For the American people, this is another image reshaping of the intelligence agencies after "Homeland Security".
As a story that is supposed to consist of both the trapped and the rescuer, the film clearly focuses on rescue. The idea of ​​concocting a lie as a cover-up through Hollywood and the media is obviously far more worthy of attention than the generally conceivable nervousness of the trapped people. Even at the time, Mendez's plan was deviant and absurd. Feasibility and absurdity coexist, injecting a lighthearted tone into what can be a heavy narrative.

    A model of thrilling documentary film. All kinds of good, and there are many, including those Hollywood self-deprecating. In time, Xiaoben will become a great director, and his rhythm and scheduling feels great. In fact, the biggest feeling after reading it is that if these people want to flee Beijing, 80% of them will die from the flight delay.

    Awesome, five-star recommendation. Calm and delicate, with every detail, quite a sense of measure. He deserves to be the best director of the Oscar, and he is also very restrained when he plays the leading role. Without knowing the history, watching this film is so nervous that the palms are sweaty, and the rhythm is controlled precisely. This tension is not caused by the internal structure of the drama, but caused by the sense of presence similar to the true restoration of history in a pseudo documentary. Hopefully, it will be the dark horse of next year’s Oscars. .
