Foreword: The following comments may involve spoilers or other immature evaluations. They are only personal opinions, and I think the writing is naive. Please watch with caution and do not make any comments. If you have other opinions, please discuss together.

I will choose to watch the movie "Captain Sully" again and again. One of the important reasons is that he is very real and very touching, although some plots are exaggerated compared to the documentary, especially after watching the catastrophe about US Airways 1549 After the episode of Flight No. 1, for example, the NTSB investigators and crew members were set to be opposite each other, but the film is not a documentary, we only focus on the plot of the movie, so these plots do not cover up the shortcomings and do not affect our view of the whole movie. Overall judgment.

The biggest highlights of this film are several points: first, the description of Captain Sully's psychology and life; second, the entire incident and the subsequent search and rescue process have a certain description of each character, not only It is a tribute to Captain Sully alone. In the past, we always heard that the occurrence of air crashes was not caused by only one factor, but an accident caused by the superposition of multiple factors that we did not know. As Captain Sally said at the hearing, the reason why all 155 people survived this accident was not only because of Captain Sally's superb driving skills and his more than 40 years of driving experience, but also The co-pilot cooperated with the captain to complete a series of ditching operations, and the flight attendants and search and rescue personnel performed their due diligence after the accident, and the air traffic control personnel tried their best to help the crew return to La Guaria after learning that the aircraft had a double engine failure. Professionals at the airport or other nearby airports are in charge. After all, the chances of surviving in forced water are very small. When the air traffic controllers heard Captain Sally say that we were going to be forced to land on the Hudson River, they would definitely not believe it and decided that the crew was in bad luck. There is also the cooperation of the crew and passengers. Without the cooperation of the passengers, I am afraid that the evacuation process will not be as orderly as depicted in the film. The role of the NTSB or air accident investigators is more prominent in the fact that the causes of the accidents they investigate should not be limited to the cause, but to avoid similar accidents on future flights and ensure the safety of our lives.

What I think is more valuable in the film, and what I have overlooked before watching the film, is the end of the film, and the film takes a few minutes at the end of the film. The whole process of the incident is reviewed with the soothing rhythm of the music, and we also see that the A320 passenger plane is now displayed in the museum, and the passengers and Captain Sally himself also appear at the end of the film, and then the paragraph that Captain Sally said. The words are a sublimation of the film, he said, "155 is just a number, but when you associate it with human faces, not just 155 faces, but other people's faces, it quickly becomes A big number.” His words once again point to the highest responsibility of being a captain - the lives of passengers always come first, and I believe this is also the career portrayal of Captain Sully himself.
