"Phoenix Tribulation": Hope, Unity and Trust

1. Lucky: Air crashes, storms, robbers, they all encountered, and they all resolved the disaster one by one. Are they gods? no. Lucky is not inborn, it requires some opportunities, some courage, and the right time.
2. Unity: At first, this group of people sat in the middle of the desert and waited for death. Later, in order to get out of this vast uninhabited land, they teamed up to build a light aircraft. Chairman Mao said that many people are powerful, and many people are easy to handle. Truth, comrades. The more people there are, the more skills and the greater the hope of survival. They should thank each other for their existence, and none of them are indispensable.
3. Hope: If there is no desire to survive, they will all die under the guns of desert storms and bandits. I hope to make them extremely strong, and I hope to turn corruption into magic: They think that in short, it is better to die. I think "try it out" has become synonymous with "hope" in this film. I remember that there is a line in the film "Shawshank's Redemption", "Hope is a good thing, perhaps the best thing in the world." Its benefits have been highlighted in humans time and time again, and it has been confirmed again in this movie.
4. Trust: The toy airplane designer concealed his true identity in order not to discourage everyone's belief in fleeing suffering. So he won the trust of everyone, and then worked together to create a "flying airplane model." Of course, this is a special treatment method adopted in a special geographic location, and it is complementary to hope.
5. The designer shot and killed the injured desert bandit, which is undoubtedly inhumane. But if it is in accordance with my personality, I will do the same. First, the newly built small plane has a limited load capacity, and one more person is an additional danger. Moreover, the bandit is dying and needs someone to take care of it and become a big burden. Second, it is not a bad thing to give a tooth for a tooth. The bandits brutally killed an air crash team member, should they be pity for them instead? I wanted to say no, but I suddenly remembered the scene of Russian soldiers being cut off by Islamic terrorists. I wonder if the earth where I live is progressing in civilization or returning to prehistoric times? In the verse of "How long will it take to repay the grievances", I am willing to take back my cruel thoughts.
6. The myth-like ending looks beautiful, but it does not seem to be scientifically based and cannot be scrutinized. Judging from the aircraft engine alone, the plot is exaggerated. The thing weighs a ton, but it is easily sent to its rightful place by seven or eight people without any lifting tools. It seems that "many people are powerful" can also become "many people, more gods."
7. Phoenix: This name is full of metaphors. Phoenix Nirvana, the unparalleled beauty of rebirth.

Flight of the Phoenix quotes

  • Elliott: [to Towns, about the makeshift plane] The design is perfect, the only flaw is that we have to rely on you to fly it.

  • Davis: [while urinating, laughs] Maybe I should save this.
