Backfire Heroes

We always say that natural and man-made disasters are ruthless. When these disasters come, no one can escape. They rush to the front at the most dangerous time to protect our lives. No one can predict whether they will come back safely this time.

They are the heroes of this era. Behind each of them is not only the family, but also the motherland and the people. Every bravery, every retrograde, is a symbol and manifestation of their greatness.

Although they have different backgrounds in the movie, the reasons for becoming a firefighter are also different. But their attitudes and behaviors in the face of fire are the same, and they have become heroes of the times. But behind this kind of hero, there are family disasters that we don't want to see. We prefer that they simply become ordinary people and live well, and do not want this kind of price in exchange for their lives.

The hero in the movie made us cry, and the fire hero in Liangshan, Sichuan a few days ago once again made us face this kind of life and death. We can only pray that every time they retrograde, they can return safely!

    There are spoilers. I saw tears in my eyes, and the way of filming and guiding emotions is really strong. It may also be the reason for the adaptation of the real event, and even seeing the last team member's introduction there is a cone of sadness. The first hour and a half alternately described the life of firefighting and firefighters piecemeal. I think this is a watershed with commercial films. It intuitively tells the audience that these heroes are actually just like us ordinary people. The love is more intense. To be honest, I don't remember a few people's faces, but the main theme of the movie is really well done, and we realize that the hero is never supposed to be one or two people. The sacrifice of another dozen people is already the most after 9/11. I have to sigh that the United States is really good in security issues. Finally, I would like to pay tribute to all the heroes on the front line, whether in foreign countries or in my country, who have used their lives to ensure the safety of people's lives and property.

    The old photos at the end really touch the heart, and the foreshadowing of the details of the previous life is even more sad.

Only the Brave quotes

  • Eric Marsh: Fire's making a run for our line, and by the time she gets here she's going to be too strong to hold. Gonna crown that ridge, spot over and run straight into town. If we back burn this side of the mountain, by the time that bitch comes over it won't have no fuel to feed into.

    Evaluator Hayes: That's a godawful idea. All the conditions favor the fire, and when that blaze comes down that mountain it's gonna kick your ass and use your burn to get even stronger, we won't be able to stop it.

    Eric Marsh: Well our line's not gonna hold unless we burn it off.

    Evaluator Hayes: Well then slow it down until we get more resources up here.

    Eric Marsh: What you don't understand sir...

    Evaluator Hayes: What you don't understand is forty years, son. I was on the job when you were still shitin' yellow, so if you think you're gonna to make a big move and impress me, i'm tellin' you right now, don't!

    Eric Marsh: Due respect sir, you are just an observer, so let us do our job...

    Evaluator Hayes: No, you...

    Eric Marsh: No no no! Step off, now! Step... off!

  • Jesse Steed: [Throws Coke can at the MacKenzie who is sleeping on the curb] Pick that up, Mac.

    Christopher MacKenzie: Just because you gotta crack in your ass don't make you a cripple, Jesse, you pick it up.
