's new film recommendation: "High Altitude 7500": A gripping terrorist attack may temporarily make people escape reality
Maggie Ma Los Angeles report
Whether it is panicked by the current US riots, the new crown rampant, or staying at home. Yue is at home and feels bored. Maybe watching a hijacking terrorist attack movie can temporarily escape reality? Joseph Gordon-Levitt (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) starring, will land on Amazon Prime on June 19 thriller "High Altitude 7500" (7500) is a terrorist attack similar to the theme of 911, when three horrors After the elements hijacked the plane, a co-pilot was alone in the cockpit dealing with the terrorists. Although the shooting pattern is very small, all in a small space, the film’s documentary-like shooting technique brings people an immersive feeling of danger, and the gripping plot only grabs nerves. For a while, forget about the real tragedy that happened around you.
Even though the California government has allowed movie theaters to resume the film industry on the 12th, Hollywood is still far from reopening. On the one hand, theater chains such as AMC and Regal have not announced the opening on the 12th, and on the other hand, Hollywood studios have no new films scheduled to be released. If only old movies are shown, will the audience be interested in going to the theater at the risk of being infected?
Fortunately, there are still new films on the online platform. Although "High Altitude 7500" is in English, it is actually produced in Germany. It was released in Germany last year. Amazon won the US distribution rights of the film. It happened to be launched at a time when the United States is currently facing racial conflicts and the double siege of the new crown. It seems to remind people: Have you forgotten that the United States has faced threats from religious extremists before? The
film does not directly describe the true story of 9/11, but it has many striking similarities. Joseph Gordon-Levitt starred as the co-pilot Tobias Ellis, who was hijacked by terrorists armed with glass bottles on the way from Berlin to Paris. As a young co-pilot, Ellis must not only try to ensure the safety of the entire machine, but also negotiate and fight with terrorists to try to get them to give up suicidal behavior. The title 7500 is actually a code used by pilots when they encounter a hijacking. It silently warns the air traffic controller without prompting the hijacker.
This film is the first feature film directed by German director Patrick Vollrath. His short film "Everything Will Be Okay" was nominated for the 2016 Oscar. The realistic shooting method of the film is similar to another 911 theme work "United 93", but more unique is that this time the entire film takes place in a small cockpit, giving a unique viewing experience. The audience and the protagonist will see what happened in the cabin outside through the surveillance video in the cockpit, and communicate with the terrorists outside through the phone.
In other words, Joseph Gordon-Levitt appears as the co-pilot in almost every shot, and the audience’s perspective is always by his side, witnessing how he fights and deals with terrorists, and how he is attacked by terrorists. When a hostage is threatened, a difficult life-or-death choice must be made. At one point, in order to avoid opening the door to terrorists, the co-pilot had to turn off the monitor, not to see if the hostages were killed. . . Seeing and feeling everything up close in this way, the audience also experienced hellish mental and physical torture with the protagonist.
is also a big challenge for actors. Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who became famous with "Inception" and "500 Days of Summer" (500 Days of Summer), is almost acting as a one-man , And the space for activities is very limited, most of the time he depends on the watchLove to show the inner struggle. Another actor, Omid Memar, who played the role of a terrorist, performed very well, allowing people to see how a young religious extremist was constantly experiencing ideological struggles in this action, and also showed his inner rationality. On the one hand, He didn't want to betray his doctrine and his compatriots, but on the other hand, he was just a kid who wanted to go home to see his mother. The
film attempts to restore the dangers that may occur in any such hijacking incident, but as a fictional thriller, it is still much more merciful than the real incident of 9/11, and it seems to provide the audience with another possibility: if there were terrorists at the time. Not determined. If the crew and passengers at the time joined forces to fight the terrorists, would there be another ending on 9/11?
From the new crown to the riots, a new round of tragedies are being staged in the United States. Most of the time, people will only think about it after a long time has passed. If it was handled in this way, would it be better. There will definitely be a lot of American movies in 2020 in the future. I just hope that by then everyone can watch "7500" like now, while sighing and learning lessons from them, and seeing the more brilliant and kind parts of human nature. .
Other recent movies that can be seen on Amazon include last year's popular movie "Knives Out" (Knives Out) will be free to watch from the 12th.
