This movie needs a good introduction

Every movie seems to need an introduction, or an inadvertent publicity poster of a bus stop, or casual chat with colleagues on topics, or make you find the treasure in the high-scoring movie list that is so good, for the time being This is called fate, just like people and people, listening to a story in a cocoon.

Origin: Mamoru Oshii's Director's Perspective

The encounter with this movie originated from "I only work three hours a day" in Mori Oshii recently. He took "The Phoenix Tribulation" as an example and analyzed his own view of victory or defeat in an orderly manner. He explained that it can be done in any difficult situation. Carrying out one's own beliefs to the end is an essential gene for every great director. This is true for filmmaking, and so is the workplace. Sometimes people in the team need to take full responsibility to carry out the work without hesitation, even if they bear the dictatorship. In the movie, the German designer is like this. When everyone is panicking, he did not waste a second, but was looking for a way out of the predicament. People like this can have the potential as a leader.

In real life, most people are adherents, accustomed to being led and driven to graze by shepherds like a flock, especially in the general environment of China. Take a look around. In times of crisis, which of your colleagues and friends is willing to take the initiative and take responsibility for the interests and destiny of others? The "methodology" adopted by most people is "it has nothing to do with oneself, but hangs on high." That's how Oshii Mamoru looked at this disaster film and analyzed the director's ingenious arrangements.

Bridge: People who question and betray

The most exciting part of the story is that people discovered that the designer who led their own aircraft construction turned out to be a conceited man who made toys. This is exactly what one of the victims said: "Religion separates people, and faith makes people unite." A normal "tool man", after discovering that he was being deceived, was furious and prepared to execute the designer. The dream is broken, it will probably be so! The reason why a mortal is a mortal is because he can't escape the narrow restraints, and he has been suspicious and betrayed himself all his life until he died of old age.

The captain, who is between the designer and the mortal, is also meaningful to read. He is the true decision-maker of the team, possesses the qualities of a leader, and dares to take responsibility for everyone’s life and safety. He is a reasonable person, but he is not a person who always implements his beliefs to the end. Because of his mistakes in judgment, he brought the passengers on board. In the disaster, he doubted his judgment at this time, as it should be.

However, the great thing is that after discovering the designer's true identity, he still chooses to believe that it may be because of being forced into desperation that he desperately grabbed the straw in front of him. Strictly speaking, he is not making choices, but gambling.

Victory: The designer is the embodiment of hope

If you are superstitious about religion, you must think that this designer was sent by God to save you. He got on the plane somehow, and built the plane differently from ordinary people. Until the last escape, he was an Angel from beginning to end. .

But everyone is hostile to this angel. When faced with a disaster, human nature is exposed, unable to believe in miracles, and only willing to be limited to the inherent common sense of life. They did not consider that after the disaster, all issues cannot be considered in conventional thinking. At this time, designers who did not describe too much have highlighted this restless BUG, ​​even if it is the most likely hope of being rescued.

If we assume that this group of people crashed and killed when the plane crashed into the valley, this ending, I don't know how the fans would think.

It is estimated that you no longer believe in hope, all struggles and efforts are in vain, and as a human being, there is no living value.

    The plot is indeed relatively old-fashioned, and the better than seeing Uncle House, the aircraft designer is really decisive.
