Original title: real event adaptation of the film "captain China", touching story behind the prototype hero
"Captain China", one of the three National Day gift films, will be officially released on September 30.
This film adapted from the real incident of Sichuan Airlines flight 3u8633 emergency alternate landing on May 14, 2018 is a rare air crash theme film in recent years.
In "captain China", it was only released in 2000. Shao Bing, you Yong and Xu Fan starred in "emergency landing" belong to the same type. It is also adapted from the real event of civil aviation. In 1998, after China Eastern Airlines flight mu586 took off, the front landing gear failed and could not be put down. Finally, the emergency landing was successful, with the nose landing and no heavy casualties.
Last year's successful handling of Sichuan Airlines' emergencies and crew members is indeed worthy of a special book, and it is also very suitable for adaptation into film works.
This is only the second case in the history of civil aviation in the world. With the calm and calm disposition of Captain Liu Chuanjian, the plane landed safely without major casualties. He and his crew are worthy of the title of "hero".
Before this "captain China" was released, many people would compare the Hollywood "Captain Sally". It's also based on miraculous real events, and it's also starred by the hero captain. At first glance, the two movies really have a lot in common.
Captain Sally, directed by Oscar director Clint Eastwood and starring Tom Hanks, has won a good reputation.
But these two films are very different in style and style. One is a commercial film with the theme of disaster, and the other is a drama and biography.
"Captain Sally" just at the beginning of the plane to reproduce the air distress, the captain emergency response, the success of the forced landing process of the Hudson River in New York.
After that, more words and phrases were placed in the cold investigation of the air traffic control agency of the United States Air Traffic Control Bureau.
The whole film "captain China" presents a panoramic view of the whole process before and after the plane is in distress, focusing on the calm, calm and conscientious emergency response of the captain and crew members.
This kind of shooting technique can't be said to be bad. The film also shows the thrilling tension and the heroic performance of the captain and crew members. However, brother cudgel thinks that it would be better to add more depth to the depiction of heroes.

In reality, Captain Liu Chuanjian and his crew members also experienced a long period of physical and psychological treatment after the incident.
Especially the psychological influence, Liu Chuanjian, a former Air Force Training Officer, is also 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 like a movie from time to time.
Too much psychological pressure, he often insomnia, had to call a psychologist for help.
Liu Chuanjian's body also appeared a variety of reactions. He suffered from high altitude decompression sickness. For a long time, he suffered from pain all over his body and itchy joints. For a long time, he basically went to the hospital for treatment every day.
Doctors told him that it might take a year or two for a body that has experienced a limit state to recover completely.
The captain is still like this, and other crew members are covered with psychological shadow for a long time. Less than half a year after the incident, the crew began to prepare for go around.
At that time, the co pilot Xu Ruichen, who was half sucked out of the window, needed to blow air into his eyes to detect the intraocular pressure during the go around physical examination, which was a normal physical examination for pilots, but Xu Ruichen couldn't do it.
It was not until last November that Liu Chuanjian, who had passed the go around training, returned to the blue sky with eight other crew members who had experienced life and death at that time, and successfully flew the flight from Chengdu to Beijing.
In this way, Liu Chuanjian was still very nervous when he entered the cabin on the day of go around, and uncontrollably recalled the details of that day more than half a year ago.
After landing, Liu Chuanjian was surrounded by media reporters. In the face of these concerns, he has been unable to adapt. He said: 'every time I face the camera and recall the past, it's not easy for me. I hope you can gradually forget this and me. '

These later events are not what the film "captain China" describes.
Liu Weiqiang, the director of the film, and his main creators have taken this matter to the screen, choosing the most regular and safe way.
The accident of Sichuan Airlines took off at 6:25 a.m. and landed safely at 7:46 a.m., only one hour and 21 minutes. If the windshield breaks at about 7:10, it will only take more than half an hour.
Obviously, even if we record the whole process, we can't afford the time of a whole movie.
Therefore, "captain China" uses the classic three-stage plot to advance: preparation, crisis occurrence and response, and the ending after the crisis is solved.
The first stage is from the preparation of the captain and crew before boarding to the smooth takeoff of the plane before and after boarding. This passage is specially matched with the description of the life of the crew members and passengers, and with relaxed music, which paves the way for the contrast of the later emergencies.
The whole crisis process after the windshield rupture is presented in the film. In order to enhance the sense of tension and storytelling, dramatic artistic treatment is added, such as the conflict between the passenger and the conductor played by Yuan Quan, encountering and passing through thunderstorm clouds.
The panoramic reappearance of course also needs the command and control of various units on the ground, and even the perspective of amateur aviation enthusiasts.
As the ending of the film itself is known to all, there is no sense of suspense, tension has become the focus of the film to highlight the performance.
The conflict between people and the handling of crisis are also carried out under the elements and framework of disaster movies. It should be said that this part of the treatment is still good, can let people follow the heart pinching sweat.
After the plane landed safely, it was a little deliberately sensational. The co pilot played by Ou Hao is the most seriously injured person, but not only did he not receive treatment at the first time. The captain went back to Chongqing from Chengdu that night to attend his daughter's birthday party, which was a bit unrealistic.
It's Zhu Yawen who plays the role of the air traffic control bureau staff who whispers that 'how so cow' is full of admiration.

The depiction of the captain and crew members in "captain China" is very good, and even in order to highlight their bravery, boldness and conscientiousness, it has done a lot of dramatization above the facts.
In addition, the heroic image of the captain and crew members can be further shaped.
Why do so many people like the heroes in Marvel movies? Because even superheroes have their own vulnerability, fear and knot. Because of this, when they make heroic deeds and feats, they can move people's hearts.
The good thing about captain Sally is that it shows the hero captain's inner fear in the face of the world's attention, struggle in the face of investigation and self doubt.
If "captain China" can try something in this aspect and touch the hearts of the crew members afterwards, it will not weaken the heroic image, but will show their reality and freshness, and the film will be more meaningful and profound.
As Liu Chuanjian said in the interview: 'I may have used my professional skills to do it well, but I am also an ordinary person. Our civil aviation does not need any heroes, what we need is safety. '
Heroes are also ordinary people, they will also be afraid, have nightmares, leave psychological trauma. However, it is such ordinary people who stand up in times of crisis and do heroic deeds that others can't and dare not do that makes them more difficult and great?
