"Going Forward" is a heroic movie!

This is a heroic movie! The

film is adapted from the real firefighter casualties after 9/11-the 2013 Arizona Fire.

On June 28, 2013, a forest fire broke out in Mount Yanel, Arizona, involving millions of square meters. The Arizona government dispatched 250 firefighters to the scene to put out the fire and arranged for helicopters to carry out aerial sprinkler operations to cooperate with the rescue.

19 firefighters from the "Granite Mountain Masters" did not leave enough safe space during the fire fighting process. They were swallowed up by the forest fire and sacrificed heroically. US President Barack Obama called these firefighters "heroes" in a statement.

It is said that this is also the forest fire that killed most firefighters in at least 30 years. In the

movie, Eric (played by Josh Brolin) is the captain of the fire brigade. He personally formed the fire brigade. The

movie tells the story of this group of novices gradually becoming mature under the leadership of the captain. The whole movie of

does not have a clear main line, and there are many elements shown. There are bridges for the fire brigade to fight fires, and the life of the fire brigade as ordinary people. This makes the movie look less like a main theme movie, more like a realistic documentary or biography. sheet. Makes the movie more real, and also makes the character's image more three-dimensional.

For example, Eric, as the captain, has an extreme personality. He always believes in himself and does not want to listen to others' opinions. He loves work and is "drug addiction" to work. He has the ability to be a leader, but because of this he is not good at interpersonal communication and does not pay enough attention to family.

If his fire brigade wants to become the vanguard, it must participate in the assessment. The content of the assessment is actual combat, extinguishing forest fires. During the

assessment process, the assessor with 40 years of fire fighting experience provided suggestions to Eric, but Eric was stubborn and had to confront the assessor.

Afterwards, Eric felt that he had made the right decision, and he said that if he was asked to choose again, he would still do it. But he understands that his fire brigade may not be the vanguard because he ran into the examiner.

However, even though the examiner felt that Eric was defiant, he was conquered by the strength of this fire brigade, so they still passed the examination. According to

, not all examiners like flattery and bribery. As the saying goes, "more sincerity, less routine", sometimes sincerity can move people.

is like the movie "Going Forward", there is no routine, no sensationalism, but to move the audience with sincerity.

Eric has the ability to think independently, he has his own beliefs and principles. He will not compromise to please others. This is an advantage at work, because such a character is destined to be conscientious and diligent. He only does practical things. Talk nonsense, just do business without superficial work.

But in the family, this becomes a disadvantage. He cares too much about work and ignores his wife. When he was first with his wife, he insisted on not wanting children. After six years, he was also unwilling to consider the issue of childbirth and even seemed a little selfish.

so that the wife forced herself to become a strong woman, try not to rely on her husband, and even did not tell him in a car accident. It is precisely because of Eric's weakness in human nature that

appears to be a flesh-and-blood, vivid character, close to life, close to reality, and looks like the people around us.

No one is perfect after all. If there are no violations, no mistakes, and no shortcomings, it is a robot. Brandon's personality is different from Eric's. He tries to balance work and family.

​​He was originally an addict, a gangster, and a thief. His ex-girlfriend didn't like him, and even his biological mother felt ashamed.

But he still has a trace of kindness in his heart. He wants to be a good man. After discovering that his ex-girlfriend was pregnant by accident, he asked to be held responsible without thinking. The ex-girlfriend of

may think he is insincere, or he may dislike him, saying that he can take care of the children and tell Brandon to stay away from her.

Brandon joined the fire brigade without hesitation in order to prove that he was not just talking, but also to live with his daughter dignifiedly. Even if his physical fitness is not good, Brandon has to stick to it.

His tenacity has also made him a successful firefighter and made a significant contribution to fighting the fire. Through practical actions, he moved his ex-girlfriend and finally was able to meet his daughter.

the moment I saw my daughter, The rough man was so excited that he cried on the spot, because he knew that his efforts were not in vain, and he also felt the experience of being a father.

Earlier when Eric asked him why he wanted to be a firefighter, Brandon said: "I have a daughter, and I want to give her something I never had."

is a responsibility. Brandon proved that he was not talking on paper, but doing what he said.

Later, his mother began to worry about Brandon's life and asked him to change to a less dangerous job, causing him to fall into a complicated ideological struggle. Brandon is not Eric after all, he can't put down his family. He has not been accompanied by his father since he was a child, and he has lacked the love of his father since he was a child.

What’s interesting is that Brandon and Eric listened carefully to each other’s thoughts during the exchange of opinions. Eric understood the importance of family, and Brandon was more determined to save others. Determined, decided to continue to sacrifice oneself and save others.

Brandon’s thoughts touched Eric deeply. Eric realized that he owed his wife too much and decided to resign as captain next year, but he could not restore his wife’s six years of youth. There is some truth to

, we don't understand when we are young, and when we understand, we are no longer young.

Eric did not expect that this time he left would be a goodbye.

After all, he understood that the family is more important, but he knew it too late to make up for the responsibilities and obligations of being a husband.

And from Eric's experience, perhaps Brandon can also learn to cherish the truth that his family should be early and not wait for the loss to regret. Mike

is a veteran of firefighters and has a talent for music, so he formed his own band.

He was unobtrusive and arrogant. He said that Brandon was "dumb Langdon", a "rookie", and even said that Brandon's lover was frivolous.

He likes to make jokes and teasing others. Even though it is out of date and hurts them, his nature is not bad, otherwise he would not come to be a firefighter.

When he was homeless, Brandon reached out to him, and the two of them finally settled their suspicions and established a deep friendship.

Later, Mike wrapped the corners of the furniture to prevent the baby from being injured, and being accompanied by Brandon when he was hospitalized, it is enough to show that the straight man also has a gentle side.

He fell in love with Brandon's nurse, but they did not tie the knot. There are no bloody lines like "Wait for me to come back and marry you as a wife" in the movie, nor does it create an unparalleled love. Even until Mike's death, the nurse may not know that Mike loves herself. The real hero of

is like this. He can't predict when he will sacrifice, and naturally he can't express his love to the goddess in time.

"Going Forward" is a heroic movie, but its style is very realistic. Deliberate sacrifice, forced sensationalism, vigorous love, and the opening of one enemy and one hundred, etc., do not exist in this movie.

Based on my previous experience of watching heroic movies, I thought Mike and nurses would stage a bitter drama of parting and death. I thought the firefighters would scream in pain in the fire. I thought Eric would sacrifice himself to save his companions. Brandon would drive the plane to rescue his teammates...

But there weren't all these bridges. They talked in one second, and burned to ashes in the next.

(do not rule out the possibility of some fragments being deleted) The 19 firefighters in the

fire were wiped out and none survived. Only Brandon, who was outside the fire, survived. Brandon couldn't do anything except beat the car tables and chairs frantically, because he was not an agent and had no special powers.

On the surface, they did not die tragically, not great, or even humble, but the inner core was extremely touching, and tears filled the eyes.

is like this in real life. Life is as fragile as an egg in front of the raging fire. Even if there is a fire shield, it will not help. They have no King Kong indestructible body, and no superpowers, and they will undoubtedly die in the face of fire.

did this not only to respect real events, but also to remove those fancy routines and restore the original beauty of the film. There are too many sensational movies, tears are too cheap, this kind of calm narration is even more precious.

I didn't understand at the beginning why they risked their lives to rescue the fire, and why they should let their families take the risk of losing themselves.

but I see it here, even ifIf they are not firefighters, others will be firefighters. Even if they did not sacrifice, others would sacrifice, but they would rather sacrifice themselves. They are unwilling to conceal their lives, they just want to engage in such a high-risk profession, at the expense of themselves to save more lives. They sacrificed a family, but saved hundreds of families.

When they decided to become firefighters, they had already made a choice in their hearts: My life does not belong to myself, not my family, but the people.

Just as Brandon said: "I no longer feel guilty for the chance of survival, but I am honored to be able to strengthen these good brothers. As you all know, they are heroes."

saw the end caption showing defending. Hundreds of hectares of national land have protected countless families and saved people across the United States. Seeing the prototype characters shown at the end of the film, even the tough guys are bound to cry.

Facing this group of people who sacrifice the ego and achieve the greater ego, I want to say: You are heroes!

Faced with such a restrained and realistic movie, I want to say: This is a heroic movie!
