Clint Eastwood does it again

Rating: Null/10 (22 September 2016)

This film tells the story of how Captain Sully and his first officer landed a plane on the Hudson River in a cold winter day a few years ago, and the subsequent the aftermath of that attempts to fault his heroic effort.
"Sully" wastes no time at all, and cuts right to the chase from the first second of the film. The slightly non-chronological order does not affect the story, as most people would have already heard what happened on the news. I find the story very engaging, and I really feel for Captain Sully. He acts honourably and makes critical decisions decisively, saving all people on board the aircraft. Yet, the subsequent investigation is so unfair, without any consideration of his past accomplishments and without respect. The undue pressure from the unnecessary fault finding exercise simply puts professionals off their work. I can relate to his predicament, that he has to fight for justice and his honour just because something goes wrong beyond his control. If professionals are discouraged from working and serving the society, our societies will simply not function.
"Sully" brought tears to my eyes. Clint Eastwood makes yet another film that moves me to tears.
