As expected of Lao Dongmu, he has superb story construction skills. It is different from the straightforward narrative of "Captain China", which simply shows the accident itself. "Captain Sully" is more about the story behind it, about human nature, institutional criticism, and even political criticism, as well as the insignificance and helplessness of people in big situations. Comparing the two films, it can be seen that there are many differences between Eastern and Western cultures. The most prominent one is the perspective of evaluating things. Compared with Eastern culture, which pays more attention to outcome justice, Western culture has more obsession with procedural justice. Of course there is also criticism, which is more rational, but also more refined and personal. It's hard to imagine that Dongmu can show such thrilling, tense and twists and turns after the accident. As Sally and Jeff have repeatedly said, this is not one drill after another. It shows that man is not a machine, shows the imprecision and uncertainty of man relative to machine, but also shows man's decision-making power and possibility relative to machine. "If you want to find out the human error, you have to take the human factor into account", as the saying goes. However, to be honest, the instrumental rationality and cost rationality of capitalism are sometimes quite terrifying, and there is a strong sense of oppression that oppresses people's self-awareness, self-affirmation and self-worth.
