How to make a hero a hero

The first time I watched an air crash movie was a Chinese captain. I had very little contact before, so I gave it four stars very one-sidedly. At that time, I didn't understand why so many people said it badly. After watching Sully today, I understand it very well.

A hero becomes a hero because he does the right thing in the right place at the right time. But how does one make a hero the hero?

When the people started cheering when they saw the captain (it could even be expressed as that hug, that smell and that glass of wine called sully), the review committee wondered again and again why he didn't just land at the airport instead Go to the Hudson River. A few questions came out again and again, and my heart sank little by little. Why do people who do the right thing accept such humiliating torture? The captain understands that this is a routine, and the situation between the captain and I is really different.

But when the captain heard the results of the computer simulation, he began to waver. He really just wanted to yell at the reviewers who "believe in computer simulation" and see what the hero was forced to become! ! ! Fortunately, in the end, the captain grasped the keyword "timing", re-energized, and turned the offensive, what he saw was a joyful and dripping, like the wind in July blowing my face. However, I also thought of something similar to what I saw in the early years but did not ask for confirmation. The conditions for the US military to evaluate "death in battle" are very harsh, and how to prove that "I" is "I" without the documents reflected in the previous sketches Conundrums, and the bizarre and plausible leaps and bounds of the insurance industry’s increasingly precise disclaimers.

Sully showed me not only this difficult flight, but also the pressure of the media and public opinion on ordinary people, the scheduling of all walks of life, the kindness of strangers, and the strictness and truth-seeking of the investigation team (although in my heart they are already close opposition). These are very real and realistic things. The 6 minutes during the flight, the 24 minutes rescue after the forced landing, and the news fermentation and incident investigation in the following days are all part of this matter. In comparison, "Captain China" is like a childish fairy tale (not the event itself, but the content of the film): disasters come, the heroes are dealt with, and the heroes are praised. But life is full of unexpected things. Maybe this is the kindness of the crew. Let us empty our minds and see what it looks like. This wave is called Dream Back to Childhood.

In addition, the last sentence of the captain and his wife's phone calls is often "I love you", when I can learn it (soul question).

Not worth it.
