short and powerful, small and condensed

Yes, it's for Tom Hanks. I've been wanting to see this movie based on a true story for a long time. It was a coincidence that the broadcast started at noon on Monday. That night, a China Eastern Airlines plane crashed in Guangxi. There were 132 people on board. Sigh, but helpless.

On the plane of Captain Sally, a total of 155 people (including him). We seem to forget a lot of the time and seem to take it for granted that the captain is not among all the numbers. He is a magical being. But in the film, the director gave "155" a lot of shots. Seeing that the captain insisted on confirming the 155 passengers, the heart rate remained high, until he heard that all 155 were safe and sound... How heavy is the responsibility of this person. From the 208-second reaction to the time he fell into the river, he thought and struggled many times, and finally made the decision that could save the lives of all 155 people.

But why are you still chattering? Insurance group, other groups can not let it go. The way they think is completely different from the captain's in that small cabin, and completely contrary to the direction of the people. But there must be something like this in this world. Fortunately, at the final hearing, Sally came calmly and prepared, and said the phrase "give back humanity" loud and clear. As an ordinary citizen, of course I support what the captain did, 155 lives were saved, what else do you want? Of course, if the decision was made in a state of misjudgment, the consequences would be different. But how small is the probability of this? Both the captain and the co-pilot were there, and the engine was restarted several times, but it didn't work. The director put this suspense at the end. The techniques and means of shooting are eye-catching. Especially seeing the scene where he was about to fall into the river, he was really sweating, and goosebumps fell on the ground.

Finally, I feel that Hanks has achieved this role again. Salute to every captain who took us to the sky and brought us home safely.
