film review

The real story that happened in 2009. Before watching the movie, if I were to tell the true story of a Captain Sully, I think it was a thrilling story, but after all, it only took a few minutes from the crash to the final forced landing. How can you tell a story for an hour and a half?

I have to admire the screenwriter's idea. At the beginning, the film did not directly talk about the thrilling forced landing process, but paved the way for Captain Sally's character and personal experience, highlighting his superb professional skills. Then it led to the questioning of the NTSB (National Transportation Safety Board) after the investigation of the air crash, and the conflict of the plot began. NTSB has been playing a black face in the film, constantly analyzing and questioning Sally's decision-making, which in turn creates enormous pressure and self-doubt for Sally. On the one hand, they are considered heroes by the general public, and on the other hand, they may become sinners who make mistakes at work and bring disaster to people.

At the end of the film, the confrontation between the two parties at the hearing intensified the conflict to the climax. At this time, a winner must be decided, and the right and wrong must be determined. It completely lifts the audience's sense of substitution and desire for results, making people immersed in it.

The existence of a third-party organization like NTSB is of great significance. Under unknown circumstances, how can we ensure that we will not be blinded by appearances and find out the real-time truth? Even if he sang a black face in the end, it was not sure which time it was really due to the captain's mistake?

When sally was questioned, she said, "Do you want to deny my flight contribution in this life because of the more than 200 seconds this time?" How to evaluate a person's merits and demerits requires a comprehensive and rational view.

    Sally saved 155 passengers and crew and became a hero. However, the NTSB (National Transportation Safety Board) said: Computer simulation results show that the plane can successfully return to LaGuardia Airport, so Sara's emergency landing on the Hudson River was wrong. Sally didn't save everyone, but made a decision that endangered everyone's lives. NTSB's questioning of Sally and Sally's confirmation of his innocence are not in the prototype incident, and are the original plot of the movie. However, the audience did not criticize the film because the director added a plot that did not exist before. Instead, they felt that the film had thoroughly discussed the conflict between system and human nature. The director did not deliberately join a villain to antagonize Sally, the NTSB is just doing its own work. The rules cannot be broken, even if it saves people, the rules cannot be broken. A special case cannot mean that the system is wrong, and it is impossible to change the whole system because of a special case. If you don’t follow the rules and regulations, you will save people this time, but you may harm you next time. There are pros and cons in thinking, and there is no right or wrong view. Sally has his reasoning, NTSB has his reasoning, and the shots are very deep.

    The most extreme tribute to the hero is to walk the path he has walked through, which is actually a simulation. Therefore, the simulation investigation of Fei'an Club is bound to be the mortal enemy of this film: it not only competes for the imitation of Zhengshuo, but also has the de-sanctified bird strike. The screenwriter’s countermeasure is to mock the simulation of the Fei’an Club. The second is to dismantle the narrative and deviate from the simulated route. What really brings the film home safely is the audience's unstoppable hunger for miracles.

Sully quotes

  • Bartender - Pete: [Sully walks into a pub and sits at the bar] Hey, is that you? Are you the pilot, Sully? that is you, right?

    Chesley 'Sully' Sullenberger: Yeah.

    Bartender - Pete: Hey, it's a pleasure to meet you. That was unreal what you did the other day, that was really something. It's a real pleasure to meet you. You know, we invented a drink after you as soon as that happened, ain't that right, Johnny?

    Johnny - Drunk Customer: Yeah, yeah, you did.

    Bartender - Pete: The Sully: It's a shot of Grey Goose with a splash of water.

  • Ben Edwards: Multiple airports, runways, two successful landings, we are simply mimicking what the computer already told us.

    Charles Porter: Now, a lot of toes were stepped on in order to set this up for today, and frankly... I really don't know what you gentlemen plan to gain by it.

    Chesley 'Sully' Sullenberger: Can we get serious now?

    Charles Porter: Captain?

    Chesley 'Sully' Sullenberger: We've all heard about the computer simulations, and now we are watching actual sims, but I can't quite believe you still have not taken into account the human factor.

    Charles Porter: Human piloted simulations show that you could make it back to the airport.

    Chesley 'Sully' Sullenberger: No, they don't. These pilots were not behaving like human beings, like people who are experiencing this for the first time.

    Charles Porter: Well, they may not be reacting like you did.

    Chesley 'Sully' Sullenberger: Immediately after the bird strike they are turning back for the airport just as in the computer sims. Correct?

    Charles Porter: That is correct.

    Chesley 'Sully' Sullenberger: They obviously knew the turn and exactly what heading to fly. They did not run a check, they do not switch on the APU.

    Charles Porter: They had on all the same parameters that you faced.

    Chesley 'Sully' Sullenberger: No one warned us. No one said "You're going to lose both engines at a lower altitude than any jet in history. But, be cool, just make a left turn for LaGuardia like you are going back to pick up the milk". This was dual engine loss at 2800 feet followed by immediate water landing with 155 souls on board. No one has ever trained for an incident like that. No one.
