On May 14, 2018, a Sichuan Airlines 3U8633 flying from Chongqing to Lhasa began boarding 40 minutes later. Fortunately, it is not too late to accept it.
This was originally a normal flight. But just as the plane was driving to an altitude of 9,000 meters in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Sichuan Airlines 3U8633 suddenly contacted the ground workbench, the windshield broke, and applied for an alternate landing at Chengdu Airport... and then lost contact.
No one knows what happened? It wasn't until Sichuan Airlines 3U8633 successfully landed at the airport that people knew that the windshield on the right seat of the cockpit had burst and fell off... But the airport was under tremendous pressure and successfully brought back all the 119 people on board. , The plane made a miraculous emergency landing, writing a miracle in the history of global flight.
On September 30, 2019, the domestic film "Captain of China" adapted from the "True Story of Sichuan Airlines 3U8633" was released. As of now at 21:00 on October 2, the film "Captain of China" has been released for 3 days and has earned 700 million yuan The above box office results. This result was placed on the National Day file and competed with two other films on the same stage. It ranked second and became a dark horse on the National Day file this year.
However, it is worth mentioning that although the movie "Captain China" has achieved good results on the National Day file, if it avoids the weakness and flaws in the second half of the process, perhaps "Captain China" can still make it. One step will be better than the current three days of 700 million.
The following content involves minor spoilers, please read carefully. Although the
film is adapted from the "True Story of Sichuan Airlines 3U8633", two story lines are adopted in the text and structure of the film: aircraft and ground station staff, trying to restore the true story without letting the film lose its drama and contradiction. The highlight of the conflict. But precisely because of the drama, the film is still a bit overstretched, and even some scenes are deliberately added.
in the film aircraft inspection of those trivial shots and repeated mechanized operations, the restoration is very real, although some of the aircraft maintenance and overhaul are a bit far away from the current audience, but it is very close to the details. , Which can make the audience feel more real.
For example, passing through the queue of flight attendants at the airport, the anxiety of the passengers waiting in the terminal due to the wrong time of the plane, couples with conflicts, men who insist on not turning off their mobile phones during takeoff, and people who are talking loudly. There are curious young people and old people who are constantly looking at the window, and there are also businessmen who are closing their eyes and preparing to work...These details, we have all seen or experienced more or less, although a little trivial, but It has indeed shortened the distance between us and the story.
But the shortcomings came out at exactly this time. Although the film has been very calm and restrained in telling these stories, it has not been able to avoid the dramatic conflicts and sensational clips that are excessively exerted. When encountering an airplane crisis, although the passengers on board were panicked and panicked, the overall description was the same. In the speech of the flight attendant played by Yuan Quan, it was a bit too sensational, and I still couldn't grasp this degree.
However, it’s worth mentioning that Yuan Quan’s acting skills are still in place, and her voice is also very substantiated, which adds a lot of points to the film. But looking at the whole film, the most important thing is that the film is restoring the truth. The details of the incident: the panic in the cabin, the break of the captain's tie...The film almost 100% restored all the important fragments of the real incident that year. The director even took a 1:1 plane for post-production of framing and shooting. In terms of details, "Captain China" has done many things that domestic films did not.
But as mentioned earlier, the second half of the movie is still a bit out of touch, and its rhythm is really slow. For example, the staff on the platform has already put forward the instructions for the alternate airport and has lost contact with 3U8633. At this time, it should be urgent to make emergency plans, arrange and adjust the cooperation of various departments, and keep in touch with 3U8633. Therefore, the rhythm of the film should be fast and tense, but in the final film, it is slow, making people want to speed up the playback.
When Huang Zhizhong learned that the plane had landed safely, the wheat hanging in his mouth was really over-performance. Although I know it may be specially designedThe comedic plot performance relieved the tension of the audience before, but obviously at this moment such a comedic performance is not suitable.
As for the controversial, the role of Guan Xiaotong is actually prototyped in real events. At that time, the majority of civil aviation enthusiasts were the assists of the whole story. It was they who heard the ATC language of 3U8633. They were the first to capture what was supposed to be the first damaged photo of 3U8633 and published it on Weibo.
So in the setting of this character, the director actually wanted to express his gratitude and tribute to our civil aviation enthusiasts, but in the end, the editing of the film did not connect well, which led to the confusion of the story line of Guan Xiaotong. As for the role played by Yang Ying, it is convenient for the director to schedule and not to force the play.
Generally speaking, "Chinese Captain" is not a big problem. It is a qualified and excellent commercial work. Those deliberately excessively sensational can also be understood as a tribute to everyone who experienced the disaster at that time. , Perhaps it is those overly sensational plots that make this film more passionate and warm.
If you don't have too much expectations and don't care about the lack of energy in the second half, you can still see the different surprises of "Chinese Captain". But if we followed the strict requirements, it could have been better and could produce a landmark film. It's just a shame to say that it is like this.
