"Fire in the Clouds": A good disaster film looks like this

Text/MuYi Xiao Dun

Some time ago, I chased after a Russian drama, yes, you read it correctly, it is the Russian TV series "The Cultivation of the Fighting Nation", a TV series that laughs to make people doubt their lives, and it is also from this drama that I found that the fighting nation is particularly good at self-blackening and self-deprecation in addition to looking cold and majestic. Of course, don't rush to chase this drama first, because today we want to talk about the Russian movie "The Sea of Fire" that will be released in domestic theaters tomorrow.

The first half of "The Sea of Fire" basically tells the tragic life of Gu Xin, a pilot who has lost both his career and family. Fortunately, after failing an interview at a new airline, he fell in love with Alexandra, who was also a pilot, at first sight. The mentor he met, Zinchenko, was a bit like Fletcher in "The Drummer", serious and old-fashioned, always with a look of respect. Of course, it would be a mistake for the audience to think that the film would always be played in such a tepid rhythm, and all the tension began with Zinchenko's conflicting son and Gussin and Alexandra on a mission.

A previous flight to Africa taught gussin that he was a man with a strong sense of justice and a dare to break the rules, so when they learned that a nearby island had suffered a volcanic eruption and earthquake during the flight, they decided to go to the rescue.

The group that flew to the island saw devastation, the panicked crowd instantly regarded them as saviors, and the immediate aftershocks reminded them that time was short, and if they did not fly again, they might be buried in the sea of fire. However, the news that some people were trapped in the mountains made Gusin unable to sit idly by, so he and two other people drove a minibus to the more severe mountain.

Of course, as a film that tells the story of a flying disaster, the most thrilling part is of course not on the ground but in the air. Imagine the dangers of someone changing between two moving cars, let alone an air transfer between two airplanes. However, Gusin and Zinchenko did it, of course, this process also paid a tragic price, but the tragic thing is the movie, and the sour is the audience.

How would you describe this movie? Simply put, this movie has all the elements needed for a good disaster movie. The pre-preparation, the exciting process, and the beautiful ending are all presented almost perfectly in this movie. Audiences accustomed to Hollywood disaster movies are sure to find new excitement in this movie made by the Fighting Nation. In Hollywood movies, whether it is "The Fall of London" with the main action explosion scene or the "Martian" of the sci-fi adventure, when the protagonist returns victoriously like a hero, it is inevitable that there will be a group of people who applaud and hug passionately, but "The Sea of Fire" shows the unusually calm side of the fighting nation.

When the airline executives learned that Gu Xin had successfully landed, the scene was quiet, Gu Xin's father quietly picked up his coat and briefcase and left the office, and Gu Xin, who stepped off the plane, did not want to become a great hero admired by everyone like in the lai house movie, on the contrary, he and the captain were fired by the airline for violating the regulations. Although the introduction of the leader went to a broader platform to be a trainee pilot, such an unusual way of handling is really eye-catching.
