We are all ordinary people

"Captain Sully", famous for a long time, finally calmed down and watched it.

The film is based on the true events of Flight 1549. On January 15, 2009, an Airbus A320-214 was hit by a Canadian geese during take-off and climb, causing both engines to stall at the same time, the aircraft completely lost power, and the cockpit crew was confirmed unable to reach two nearby airports. Later, it was decided to make a forced landing on the surface of the Hudson River. In the end, all 155 people on board survived, which is also known as the "Hudson Miracle".

The rhythm of the whole film is tight, but it gives people a sense of stability that is not contradictory. The special effects and sensationalism are very restrained. The one and a half hours of watching the film feel calm, as if it has really become a documentary film. The core of the film is to discuss whether Captain Sally's emergency landing on the Hudson River is a hero or a fraud.

Personal feelings are as follows:

1. Do your job well, although many times what others see is only the result of that one time.

After the successful forced landing, Captain Sully made a final re-check after the river flooded half of the plane to ensure that he was the last to evacuate, emphasizing that 155 people were in the cold in January until it was confirmed that all passengers were safe. After his last moments, these are only known to work partners, and of course this is also the job requirement of this profession. He was doing his job in obscurity, and he would have been without this flight. But this time, the incident happened, and everyone did not have the patience to see what you did, only to see if the result of this time was achieved. Then use the results of this time to judge you, it is so rough and unfriendly. Just like Sally was angry and calm in the face of doubts, telling that he used 208 seconds to judge his 40-year career, as if at that moment, using his own life and the other 154 lives to play a game to survive was an honor adventure.

2. When you don't know what to do, don't stop, move.

During the investigation of the incident, Sally did not rest well, and continued to state and think about the incident. He was very calm and composed, the way he imagined his father, like a mountain. When confused, running, contacting other people... It's very difficult and painful. It is in this slow rhythm and constant movement that you turn yourself into living water, and it will dry up when you stop.

3. We are all ordinary people

Sally's wife, faced with the sudden news, the first reaction was the loan and source of income. She was not impressed by the movie at the moment, but she is shocked when she recalls it now. This is life. It has nothing to do with snobbery or love. Life is made of tea, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and tea. Money is the basic guarantee for the normal operation of life. The important but not urgent things come to the fore after the things most urgently needed in the first place, and yes, she choked on the phone, she didn't realize until this moment that Sally herself was also aboard 155. One of the crew, she nearly lost him. She felt he was still there, and that was all that mattered. Life is like this, don't ask for it with saints, we are all ordinary people.

Interested friends, please enjoy this one and a half hours.

  • Chesley 'Sully' Sullenberger: [New York late at night and both men can't sleep so they decide to go for a walk. It's cold outside and both are bundled up] It's all so unreal. I guess I'm just having a little trouble separating reality from whatever the hell this is.
