This film is adapted from the real incident of Sichuan Airlines flight 3U8633 emergency landing on May 14, 2018. It is a rare problematic film among domestic films in recent years.
was released in "Captain of China" only in 2000. "Emergency Landing" starring Shao Bing, You Yong and Xu Fan is of the same type, and it is also adapted from the real events of civil aviation-in 1998, China Eastern Airlines flight MU586 failed before the landing gear failed. Put down, and finally an emergency landing was successful. The nose of the aircraft landed on the ground without major casualties.
The emergency incident of Sichuan Airlines last year and the successful handling of the crew members are indeed worthy of a book, and it is also very suitable for adaptation into a movie. The
aircraft windshield is broken, which is only the second case in the history of global civil aviation. Under Captain Liu Chuanjian's calm and unruffled handling, the plane finally landed safely without major casualties. He and his crew members are worthy of the title of "hero". Before the release of
, "Captain China", many people would compare the Hollywood film "Captain Sally". It is also based on miraculous real events, and the heroic captain is also the protagonist. At first glance, the two movies do have many similarities.
"Captain Sally" is directed by Oscar director Clint Eastwood, starring Tom Hanks, and has achieved a good reputation.
But these two movies are very different in terms of genre and style. One is a disaster-type commercial film with the main theme, and the other is a biopic.
"Captain Sally" only reproduced the process of the aircraft in distress in the air at the beginning, the captain made emergency response, and successfully landed on the Hudson River in New York. After
, he put more pen and ink on the conflict between the questioning of the captain and the fluctuations in his heart during the cold post-investigation process of the US Air Traffic Control Agency.
The entire film of "Captain China" reproduces the entire process before and after the plane is in danger in a panoramic manner, focusing on the captain and crew members who are calm, calm, and conscientious in emergency response. The shooting method of
cannot be said to be bad. The film also shows the thrilling tension and the heroic performance of the captain and crew members, but Brother Gun believes that there is still a lack of portrayal of heroes. depth.
After all, what kind of person should a hero be?

In reality, Captain Liu Chuanjian and his crew members not only undergo routine investigations after the incident, but also undergo long-term physical and psychological treatment. Especially the psychological impact of
, Liu Chuanjian, a former air force trainer, is also very difficult to fully recover.
In the first few days, half of the co-pilot's body was sucked out of the window, and the cockpit was blown to pieces by the airflow. These scenes flashed back in front of Liu Chuanjian's eyes from time to time like movies.
With too much psychological pressure, he often suffers from insomnia and has to call a psychologist for help.
Liu Chuanjian's body also experienced various reactions. He suffered from high-altitude decompression sickness and suffered long-term pain throughout his body and itchy joints. For a long time, he basically went to the hospital for treatment every day. Dr.
told him that it may take a year or two for a body that has experienced an extreme state to fully recover. Captain
is still the case, and the other crew members have been shrouded in psychological shadows for a long time. Less than six months after the incident, the crew members began to prepare for the go-around.
The co-pilot Xu Ruichen, who was sucked out of the window half of his body at the time, needed a jet stream to check the intraocular pressure during the go-around physical examination. This was a normal physical examination item for the pilot, but Xu Ruichen couldn't do it.
It was not until November last year that Liu Chuanjian, who passed the go-around training, returned to the blue sky with the other 8 crew members who had experienced life and death with him at the time, and successfully flew the flight from Chengdu to Beijing. This is the case with
. Liu Chuanjian was still very nervous when he entered the cabin on the day of the go-around, and he uncontrollably recalled the details of that day more than half a year ago. After
landed, Liu Chuanjian was surrounded by media reporters. Faced with these concerns, he has not been able to adapt. He said, "Every time I face the camera and remember the past, it is not easy for me. I hope that everyoneBeing able to forget this thing slowly, but also forgetting me. The above content of "
comes from media reports at the beginning of this year. Liu Chuanjian, who
hopes to be forgotten by everyone, may not have thought that the incident has been less than a year and a half, this "Chinese Captain" was so quickly Putting on the big screen, Liu Chuanjian and his crew members once again became the focus of attention.

These later events are not what the movie "Captain of China" describes.
Director Liu Weiqiang and Liu Weiqiang His creators chose the most satisfactory and safest way to bring this incident to the screen. The Sichuan Airlines accident took off from 6:25 in the morning and landed safely at 7:46 in the end, and the whole journey was only one. Hours and 21 minutes. If the windshield breaks at around 7:10, it will only take more than half an hour.
obviously can’t hold up the time of a whole movie even if the whole process is recorded.
"Long" advances the plot in a classic three-stage style: preparation, crisis occurrence and response, and the end after the crisis is resolved.
starts from the preparation of the captain and crew members before and after the passengers board the plane, and the plane takes off smoothly. The first paragraph. This paragraph is specially accompanied by a description of the life-oriented aspects of the crew members and passengers, accompanied by relaxing music, to contrast the emergencies later. The whole crisis process after the windshield break of
, the film is more realistic In order to enhance the sense of tension and storytelling, dramatic artistic treatments such as the conflict between the passenger and the flight attendant played by Yuan Quan, encountering and passing through thunderstorm clouds, etc. are also added. The panoramic reappearance of
is not lacking in the ground The scheduling of the unit, and even the perspective of business aviation enthusiasts have been added.
As the ending of the movie itself is well known, there is no sense of suspense, and tension has become the focus of the movie. The conflict between people and people.
, People’s handling of crises is basically carried out under the elements and framework of disaster genre films. It should be said that this part of the handling is still good, making people feel anxious and sweating. The passage after the
plane landed safely was a bit deliberate. It was sensational. The co-pilot played by Ou Hao was the most injured person, but not only did he not receive the first treatment, but he still had time to continue teasing his sister. He was also drunk. The captain returned to Chongqing from Chengdu that night to join his daughter's The birthday party is too far from reality.
only has the power of the air traffic control staff, played by Zhu Yawen, who said softly, "Why are you so awesome?"

Go back to the previous question.
"Chinese Captain" to the captain and crew members There is nothing wrong with the portrayal, and even in order to highlight their bravery, courage, and conscientiousness, they have done a lot of drama above the facts.
But the performance during these events is enough for shaping the image of the heroes?
is not polite to say, this is the moment for the hero The painting is still a bit too facial. Although it also joined their daily life, they still seemed deliberate. Captain
has always been unsmiling. The second captain and the co-pilot have become masters of sultry sisters. Is this interpretation appropriate?
What is even more regrettable is that the difficulties and effects they suffered afterwards did not show the slightest. In the last scene, a year later, everyone had a hot pot together, and it seemed to be a happy one, without any shadow. The simplified character setting of
also caused a problem. Several leading actors, including Zhang Hanyu, did not have much room for performance.
Why do so many people like heroes in Marvel movies? Because even superheroes have their own vulnerabilities, fears and knots. Because of this, when they do heroic deeds and feats, they can move people even more.
"Captain Sally" is good, but also because it shows the fear of the heroic captain in the face of the attention of the world, the struggle and self-doubt in the face of investigation.
If "Chinese Captain" can also try in this respect, the perspective of the crew members will be touched afterwards. Not only will it not weaken the heroic image, but it will show their realness and vividness. The film will also It will be more meaningful and in-depth.
is like Liu Chuanjian said in an interview: "I may have used my professional skills to do it well, , but I am just an ordinary person.Our civil aviation does not need heroes, what we need is safety. Heroes of "
are also ordinary people. They will also be afraid, have nightmares, and leave psychological trauma. However, is just such an ordinary person who stands up in times of crisis and does heroic deeds that others cannot or dare not do. , Doesn’t it make them more difficult and great?
