The adventurous spirit of a hot air balloon pilot

In the exploration of the unknown realm of the sky, the pilot's adventurous spirit determines two things.

The first is the upper limit of the flying height of hot air balloons. In the case that there is no significant difference in the manufacturing process of hot air balloons, the upper limit of the height that the hot air balloon itself can reach depends on the weight it carries. Pilots should consider whether to sacrifice safety at the expense of safety, such as abandoning survival facilities such as parachutes. In exchange for a higher flight limit. This is why dogs have parachutes in the movie but people don't.

The second is the height at which the hot air balloon can actually fly. It is extremely difficult to reach the upper limit of the hot air balloon itself, because external factors such as weather conditions are complex and changeable. Pilots must have rich experience and make decisions about ascent or descent with keen judgment. But in the process of challenging the unreached realm of mankind, in the face of unseen or unforeseen environments, experience itself may become insignificant. At this time, the pilot’s adventurous spirit is essential for him to reach various heights. . Pilots giving up prematurely will make him taste the bitterness of failure, but at the same time he will be safer than radicals.

In the process of human civilization and progress, the entanglement between safety and adventure is an eternal contradiction. The shining moments of the stars of mankind are often when some people choose to pursue certain things despite their personal safety. The way of survival they choose makes them change the world.

    I think it is still worth a big screen. Although it is relatively straightforward from the perspective of the play and the director, it still has three highlight moments worth recording: 1. When the first storm was encountered, the inexperienced male protagonist almost ruined the journey, and the female protagonist told the male protagonist , The safest way to go through a storm is not to descend, but to ascend to UP (echoing the theme); 2. When the hot air balloon rises to more than 5,000 meters, the butterfly swarms suddenly arrive (insects can fly higher than birds with the help of air currents) , Proving that humans are still apprentices in front of nature; 3. In order for both of them to survive, the heroine climbed to the top of the hot air balloon under almost impossible circumstances. At that moment, it seemed that the soul was wearing "Wild Hunter" and "Gravity". It's just that the character who broke through the limit with courage turned into a female, which suddenly made the film more feminist (the scene of falling into the void from a hot air balloon was very shocking). In addition, the handling of the relationship between the male and female in the third act is very satisfactory to me. The two people have always had nothing to do with love. It is because they both embrace the belief of "bringing the world closer to the stars". They fight side by side and go deeper into the sky. Away.

The Aeronauts quotes

  • James Glaisher: Newton said that we build too many walls...

    Amelia Wren: I don't want to hear it from Newton. I want to hear from you.

    James Glaisher: All my life I've found comfort in science. It helps give meaning to the many things we can't control. It brings a degree of order to the chaos that surrounds us. But whilst we may be able to explain the science behind an aureole, or falling snow, it's not possible to account for its beauty. Together we've brought the stars closer.

    Amelia Wren: We HAVE brought the stars closer.

  • Arthur Glaisher: Th-These things that people are saying about you, James, don't-don't... don't they hurt?

    James Glaisher: I wish it didn't hurt you.
