I have two mentalities when I watch movies, one is to watch movies, experience the world of light and shadow in movies, and feel the encounters of people in the play; the other is to look at myself and examine my inner world through movies. In Buddhism, it is said that one flower is one world, and one leaf is one bodhi. Movies don't seem to be any different from the real world. It's just that the film is more dramatic.
The Russian film "The Sea of Fire", which premiered last night, is a disaster blockbuster, and the story is full of dangers and thrills. In the end, of course, after the plane went through a dangerous situation, the vast majority of people were finally saved, and Gusin, Zinchenko and the entire civil aviation crew worked together to save countless lives. The ending is very beautiful, in the film, a co-driver Gu Xin who seems to have a personality that does not follow the stereotypes and is depressed let everyone get out of the desperate situation.
When watching the film, I kept thinking about a question: what made Gusin struggle to survive in a desperate situation and finally return calmly. When the film ended two hours later, I seemed to have the answer: a belief that is stronger than self-confidence.
Gu Xin was a strong man at heart, and this inner strength made him choose not to compromise, and for himself, he also completed a spiritual leap. Gu Xin in the film seems to have a bad relationship with his father, and it is not until the end of the film that the two truly reconcile. The first thing Gushin did after the plane landed was to run back to his father's house and sit quietly outside the door and fall asleep. And his old father, the old civil aviation elder who was so strict that he never revealed his relationship with his son, gently opened the door and looked at his son quietly, just like that, and the father and son were so leaning against each other. At that moment, the scene was so warm. The whole world, unhurried, makes people move, and even admire.
The deepest image is the old captain in the film, Gu Xin's spiritual mentor. The old man, named Zinchenko, was stern and harsh, acting almost critically of his subordinates, as well as his wife and son. They seem to be people who live in two worlds. Obviously, he loves his family very much, but he is not understood by his family. However, although Zinchenko is very harsh, the only son also behaves in rebellion, and even the son accuses him of never going home and ignoring himself and his mother, he is like a man who is unqualified and does not love his family. However, when he experienced the danger of volcanic eruption in the air, his son was also on the plane, and he won his son's respect by his own desperation. As for the son, the first thing he did when he came home was to look at his father excitedly. In his heart, Dad is his pride. At this time, this old man named Jinchenko did not say anything, ate intently, looked at his wife, and was relieved.
There is a small detail in the film, before Zinchenko boarded the plane, when he said goodbye to his wife, he saw that his wife was dressed very formally, and he asked strangely: "How do you dress like this?" My wife said, "I go to work like this every day!" "In life, Zinchenko is also an old man who ignores his family. I believe that after experiencing this dangerous situation, Zinchenko will definitely not ignore his wife and son. In fact, in life, we always only care about rushing to the road, only care about ourselves, ignore too much family, and when we realize it, we can't regret it. Fortunately, for Zinchenko, it was still too late.
A monk who once met once said something like this: "When you think it's too late, it's the earliest time." This sentence sounds very abstract, but in fact it is profound. In the film, Gu Xin, who came to apply for the exam in every way, was defeated, and finally Jin Qinke realized that Gu Xin was an excellent driver, and did not say a word to recruit him into the army. This was exactly what Zinchenko did, which eventually led to a final rescue after the eruption. Of course, Gusin was also a highly skilled and confident man. In the film, an unprecedented disaster makes many people's relationships intimate. In the face of life, they begin to look at the world again, they begin to examine their families, they learn not to ignore anymore, they learn to remain tolerant and no longer harsh in their hearts. As the Kesin father and son are, as are the Sons of Zinchenko, why should many of the people on board who have survived from death and death be worse? On the plane, the show of hands vote of saving or not saving when the life line is on the line has long explained everything.
In this disaster blockbuster, the death is shocking and too tragic. In the shot, there are many people running away madly, there are many sad deaths, relatives are separated, life and death are separated; in real life, there are many people who die, there are many people who walk hard, life is difficult, too much impermanence, what reason do we have to make ourselves unhappy inside? There are two rescue scenes in the film "Clouds of Fire", one is that Zinchenko pilots an airplane to take off from the shortest runway near the crater, and the other is that Gu Xin takes off from the fire on the runway by melting water tower with volcanic lava, and then realizes the rescue of the aerial ropeway from cargo plane to passenger plane in mid-air. High-altitude rescue, life hanging in the balance, relying on what? Faith and inevitable courage, love can transcend everything.
