"Indifferent" human nature

In the new day, movies accompany me.

1. A true story

No one was injured and this is the truest story.

2. A miracle story

Eastwood sets the film's conflict in the comparison of the NTSB's (National Transportation Safety Board) flight simulation results, or represents the captain's challenge to authority and power. There are many heroes in Eastwood's films. In order to make the role of the captain more full, from the nightmare of the film, to the doubts after the first hearing, to the financial pressure of the family. Suffering has filled the captain's story. Instead, it's the thanks from the passengers and the heroic praise from people. Conflict arises in contrast. But the story is dramatic, like a forced landing on the river, the mood of the tower commander changes. No one believed there would be no casualties in the flooding. At the beginning of the play, Sally is on the phone with the clerk at the convenience store, "When can you take my flight", in the happy look of the last three passengers on the plane, when the geese hit the engine, in the taunting of Harder In the words of Xunhe. All in all, Captain Sully became a hero in the attack of the splash.

3. A challenging story

The hearing personally considered it to be the climax of the whole story. Judging from the expressions of everyone after the simulated video, the hero fell to the bottom at that moment. However, when the captain calmly expounds on human nature, human feelings and accidents. What exactly is the right choice? Return to any airport, or make a forced landing? In the movie, 35 seconds is the difference between human reaction time and machine reaction; 17 times, it is the difference between accident and training, and 220 seconds is the difference between choice and strategy. I'm glad Elizabeth said the results of 17 workouts; I'm glad the last simulation failed; I'm glad that everyone is a hero.
