The true story genre is moving in the right direction

Rating: 8/10 (9 April 2020)

The only thing that I knew about the movie is that it is based on a real story. I don't know the exact odds of landing a commercial plane on water intact with no losses, but as the event is actually called "Miracle on the Hudson" I can assume they are close to none.
I really like the film adaptations of incredible stories that happened and were overlooked by people not affected by them. This makes me feel happy and shows that miracles do exist. However, too many times creators changed too many things or just stomped real facts in favor of action or more tension. This movie hasn't totally escaped the curse of selling the more compelling plot. Some characters were shown quite different than they were when the events actually occurred, and it was indeed looking weird in the movie.
Despite of a chase for more attractiveness of the character (which I find very useless, as the crew of the flight 1549 were already heroes in my eyes), the style of the delivery is incredible. The back and forth of the events is used perfectly to show both the emotions of the pilots that performed an act of true professionalism and the above-mentioned doing itself.
The modern technology allows you to experience that life threatening moment and can say that Tom Hanks and Aaron Eckhart totally impressed me with the performance making me appreciate the skill of the pilots even more.
Overall, Clint Eastwood has made a very good example of the movie that tells a real life story. I would say that the genre is moving in the right direction. Now I would like to compare it to the book of Chesley Sullenberger.
