The real story that happened in 2009. Before watching the movie, if I were to tell the true story of a Captain Sully, I think it was a thrilling story, but after all, it only took a few minutes from the crash to the final forced landing. How can you tell a story for an hour and a half?

I have to admire the screenwriter's idea. At the beginning, the film did not directly talk about the thrilling forced landing process, but paved the way for Captain Sally's character and personal experience, highlighting his superb professional skills. Then it led to the questioning of the NTSB (National Transportation Safety Board) after the investigation of the air crash, and the conflict of the plot began. NTSB has been playing a black face in the film, constantly analyzing and questioning Sally's decision-making, which in turn creates enormous pressure and self-doubt for Sally. On the one hand, they are considered heroes by the general public, and on the other hand, they may become sinners who make mistakes at work and bring disaster to people.

At the end of the film, the confrontation between the two parties at the hearing intensified the conflict to the climax. At this time, a winner must be decided, and the right and wrong must be determined. It completely lifts the audience's sense of substitution and desire for results, making people immersed in it.

The existence of a third-party organization like NTSB is of great significance. Under unknown circumstances, how can we ensure that we will not be blinded by appearances and find out the real-time truth? Even if he sang a black face in the end, it was not sure which time it was really due to the captain's mistake?

When sally was questioned, she said, "Do you want to deny my flight contribution in this life because of the more than 200 seconds this time?" How to evaluate a person's merits and demerits requires a comprehensive and rational view.
