unstoppable

It rained all day, and I went to watch "unstoppable" with peggy at night. It was the first time I watched Thriller, and my heart went up and down throughout the whole process. Fortunately, the ending was good. The viewing process is indeed very exciting, especially the sound of the train, the nerves are tense. Well, I admit I'm timid.

At the beginning, it said that it was "inspired by". I checked the 'crazy eights' in 2001. It's '777' in the movie.

In addition to the thrill and irony, I can also see that I love it. Especially in this big environment, what I want to promote is not personal heroism. I feel that the decisions of the two protagonists are just instinctive reactions, and I will try my best to do it. effort. If you still think about it so much and you are selfish, you will not be able to achieve that calmness.

At the end, Ned's driving section is very cowboy style, super cool.

Sometimes experience is more dogmatic, and the brakes are very important.

Not much to say about the plot, there are not many adaptations, but the train keeps pace with the times, the characters are more prominent, and the ending is more optimistic.

It is recommended that parents without heart disease watch this movie.

from Wiki:The "Crazy Eights" driverless train incident in 2001. An unmanned train pulled by CSX Railroad's diesel-electric locomotive No. 8888 traveled 66 miles without stopping, en route through northwest Ohio because the air brakes were not working properly. Two hours later, the train was traveling at 47 miles per hour before another train successfully connected to the runaway train via a connector, which was slowly braked. After locomotive 8888 slowed to 11 miles per hour, a CSX crew chief, Jon Hosfeld, ran along the train to the locomotive and successfully boarded the cab, bringing the locomotive to a complete stop.

    very exciting! The kinetic energy and potential energy of the train strongly oppressed the nerves of the audience, making people unable to breathe a sigh of relief until the last moment.

    The best Hollywood realism film I've seen this year, fast-paced, a widowed worker who is about to be dismissed, another rookie who disdains his background but is in a marital crisis, two characters branded as loser with personal heroism Bureaucracy slapped hard. The phrase "I'm not for you" was very powerful and won applause from the audience. If America's big movies export these kinds of values, I'd be happy to accept it.

Unstoppable quotes

  • Frank: So, what was the long story you didn't want to make long?

    Will: I come home from work two weeks ago, and she's, uh... she's texting on the phone. I ask her who it is, she says "Nobody." So I said "Let me see the phone." She says no. This goes on, I dunno, five or six times.

    Frank: Wait, wait. You're losing me. She's texting...

    Will: There's this guy we both went to school with. He's a cop, he's a PA state trooper. And he's always had a thing for Darcy. Going way back.

    Connie: [calling over the radio] 1206, where are you?

    Frank: 1206 here, Connie. We're just passing milepost 57.

    Connie: You're about a mile and a half behind.

    Frank: How far out of Arklow is 777?

    Connie: Seven and a half miles. It picked up speed. You better step on it.

    Frank: I'm stepping on it, in it, around it, and through it, Connie. Thank you. Over.

    Will: She's texting on the phone, I keep on asking for it, she keeps on saying no. And, um... she starts to walk away, and I grab for it.

    Frank: You hit her?

    Will: No, no, no. I mean, I scared her, but I didn't- I didn't hit her. Anyway, I drive to this guy's house and tell him we need to talk, let's take a ride. He jumps in my truck, and starts in with "You've got it all wrong, we're just friends." And then he stops once he sees... the gun I got on the dash.

    Frank: Oh!

    Will: I look him in the eye and I say "She's my wife. You find a new friend."

    Frank: You pulled a gun on a cop?

    Connie: [calling on the radio again] Frank? Frank, 777 just passed milepost 61.

    Frank: Thank you, Connie.

    Will: But you wanna hear the kicker?

    Frank: Yes, I do.

    Will: It wasn't even him that was texting her. It was my sister-in-law.

  • Connie: [after Frank and Will antagonize Oscar Galvin] I like them.
