All 155 people survived, the first case of a successful ditching in history. The film repeatedly asks this question, is Captain Sully a hero?

At the beginning, even the captain himself was suspicious. It was a nightmare of a late-night plane crashing and killing people, and it was the hesitation after the investigation team threw out the question. Is taking such a risk the best solution at the moment? Is the whole life still the blessing of the once-in-a-million-year God? Will there be other options then?

This is the humanity of Captain Sally, his gentle brilliance, and his insistence on his duty. For the countless nights after the accident, before the conclusion was reached, he was far more afraid than everyone else. why? Because he's a captain, it's his job to keep passengers safe. He didn't bask in the accolades, and even if it did count as an event in the annals of history, it was just a flight in the eyes of the captain. The purpose of the flight is to safely bring all passengers home. That's why Sally is afraid, he's afraid that he really made a bad decision, he's afraid that he's making a big gamble with the lives of people on the plane, he's afraid that he's really wrong, that he's not doing his job well, that he doesn't Be the patron saint of passengers on board.

His fear came to the fore when he was counted after the accident. Evacuate passengers in an orderly manner and leave the lifeguard door, distribute as much supplies as possible, patrol the sinking plane over and over again in the bone-chilling icy water, repeatedly confirm whether there are any passengers left behind, and finally, take all the planes on board. list of people.

Tom Hanks' acting skills can be shown in his eyes. The captain who was taken to the shore stood at the highest point of the rescue vehicle and glanced at all the passengers on the shore nervously. He really had no way to count how many there were. The person was rescued. If there was a chance, he would count his passengers countless times over and over again like a teacher counting students. It was the title of captain and this responsibility that kept him from the joy of the rest of his life. For him, the most difficult emergency landing in history was nothing. He would rather just be an ordinary flight. He can exchange all the applause and honor for everyone's peace.

Is Captain Sully a hero? When all the investigations were over, when countless simulations of various situations pointed to the same result, when ditching became the only option at the moment, Captain Sully smiled for the first time. Facts have proved that the captain performed his duties perfectly, all 155 passengers were safe, and he did everything he could do as a captain. At this moment, Sally finally concluded in his heart that he was a captain. A qualified captain, he is a great hero.
